Somebody tried epoxy on this thing. I can tell by looking at it that i could probably get epoxy to seal ok, but I really need to get the old strainer unthreaded from the tank. No way that epoxy would get enough of a grip on the small threaded insert to hold it still while I turn the old strainer out with a pipe wrench. I cannot even remove the heatshield until i do this. And the strainer is likely not even salvagable- I'll see if i can, but I need to get it off first. So it really demands getting down to bare parts and restoring properly. Once I fix the threaded hole, I'll clean the inside of the tank and coat with that sealer stuff. Then blast, prime and paint the outside of the tank. I can't believe John Deere didn't feel it neccessary to put any paint at all on the tank- sure it is hidden from view, but that doesn't mean it wont rust!! Me neighbor's A had a 6" rust hole in the TOP of the tank- probably a mouse nest held moisture there for years and it rusted. The tank has not had any gas in it for about 20 years and there is absolutely no odor of gas, by the way.
