Hello!
I have a 1958 International Model 340 Utility. Back in the summer of 2009 I had to replace the sediment bowl, which was heavily corroed and the "neck" looked like swiss cheese. Yesterday, while disking a field, my tractor developed a fuel delivery problem. I did a band-aid fix on the filter, and pulled the sediment bowl. There wa a high degree or fuel corrosion within the neck and petcock assembly. This was an aftermarket sediment bowl kit from Tractor Supply, and will be temprarily replaced with once since TSC is open on Sundays, and my local Case/IH dealer is not. I need to finish disking the field and get my equipment home (I am leasing some land on another's farm).
My questions:
1) Are the newer, non-IH sediment bowls in need of a schedled replacement?
2) How can I reduce or minimize (if not eliminate) the the corrosion within the sediment bowl/petcock assembly?
As an aside, the carburetor was just rebuilt this past winter, I do not see that as being suspect ... more the filter and petcock assembly.
