You may as well knock it loose. Using the tractor with movement of gas in tank will loosen it anyway. I went through this with a Super A. Had to remove bowl from tank twice. Fitting from tank to bowl was full of flakes of rust. These were packed in so tight gas wouldn't flow enough to keep tractor running. I would put a large inline between bowl and carburator, just in case screen in bowl doesn't catch all of it. It will plug your carb also. With mine the problem cleared up in about two weeks of quite steady use. That was ten years ago, haven't really had problems since. I try to keep my tractors near full of fuel when not in use. That has its problems too. Fuel tends to get stale and a shelac forms in screen or inline filter. I always keep spares of those around. One of my tractors sits all winter, by spring screen will look like someone shelaced it.
