Hello!
I have a 1958 International Model 340 Utility with a gas engine. Yesterday, when the engine sputtered and died, I thought I had a blocked filter, and upon replacing it, I removed the petcock and sediment bowl, and discovered it was fouled with corrosion. Today, I replaced the fuel filter with a correct fuel filter and replaced the petcock/sediment bowl unit. When I turned on the fuel flow (after refilling the tank) the gas barely trickled into the sediment bowl, so apparently, there is a blockage in the fuel tank at the low point.
My question(s):
1) Is there a baffle at the low point of my fueltank or not?
2) If there is a baffle, how do I clear it and rmove the obstruction?
3) It seems, especially if there is not a baffle, that whatever is blocking the fuel line does not float ... how would I get t out of the tank??

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