The problem is the sedament bowl turns in to far and is 180 off,has anybody tried to solder the threads and recut them or will the pot metal melt first? I have alread tried thread tape and sealer it just starts to leak again after a day or two.

I was thinking when I read the title that I might have a suggestion. I see now that it's the leak, not the paint. What the heck, why pass up a chance?
I had a problem with gas splashing out around the old cap on my Farmall's gas tank. Made a black stain in the less than top grade paint that the P.O. had used. No amount of washing, PB, WD-40, nothing would get it out. I found an old can of rubbing compound left over from when my sister's cow rubbed her horns all up and down the sides of my now ex-wife's Challenger....'Nother story.
Anyway, that did the trick. Paint around the gas cap looks better than most of the tractor. And I got a free gas cap from.... 'Nother story, too.

If you are sure it is leaking at the threads and you also don't think it will take the extra tightening without breaking ,then get some permatex #1 the hardening kind and use this on the threads then screw it in to where you want it and let it sit and harden for a day. This should work fine as this is what it is made for.

I have used a product called Gasiola for this sort of thing. It works great.

I'd buy a new sedement bowl assembly. The last ones I got from case IH were less than $30

Maybe there is a brass union/turnbuckle that could work with those threads. You'd want to use a neoprene seal if applicable. It might be worth checking into at a good plumbing, hardware, or automotive store. Good luck!

Get some thread goop approved for gas/peteroleum use.

Would tapping the hole a bit deeper work??? So that you can tighten it another half turn .....

Not sure but I think NAPA has some thread sealer that hardens and fixes leaks like this.----- -Didn't we used to use white lead for things like this?
