I bought an H once and the gas tank leaked. It just so happened that the person I bought it from had a spare but it had been laying next to his barn exposed to rats. He raised sheep. I cleaned out the tank with water and installed it. It looked mirror shiny inside but what I later found out after I was using the tractor was that there was a large rat nest made from wool stuck to the top of the tank and small pieces of wool would break loose and clog up my fuel bowl. After fighting with it for six months, I finally removed the tank and filled it with 3/8" carriage bolts and water and shook it for half a day for a whole week. When I was finished, I pulled gobbs of wool and everything else out and it worked for ever after that. The bolts really worked for me.
