I had the same thing happen to me after I pulled the tank on my 674. I could start the tractor, and it would die after 10 seconds. If I let it sit, it would be ready for another start in a minute or so. It turned out that I broke loose just enough rust and general muck to clog things up. I removed all the fittings from the tank and flushed the tank as well as I could with a lot of water. You would be amazed at what came out. I continued doing this until I could see nothing else floating/swirling around in there. It took some time, but eventually the tank was free of loose crud. As far as not wanting to put water into a fuel tank--I figure I had at least a 1/2 pint of water in there when I started draining the fuel...all 15 gallons. If a pint of water is already there, temporarily wetting it down isn't going to cause any problems. I used a blow gun to help it dry, and after blowing out all my lines, I hooked it all back up. I have not had a problem with it since.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
