Back when I was a kid 35 years ago we Bought a Farmall H that had been setting for a while. It had gunk in the tank. We fought it for the first year or so that we used it. I got to where I could disconnect the fuel line unscrew the sediment bowl, stick my finger in the bottom of the tank to prevent gas from running out while I blew the gunk out of the nipple on top of the sediment bowl. I don't think your Ferguson's sediment bowl is accessible enough to do that and beside as a people aren't we supposed to be getting better at doing stuff? How to control- use good quality gasoline, if it's going to be setting for more than a month use Stabil fuel additive to prevent your fuel from going bad. Park/store it with a full fuel tank and keep the tractor indoors if possible. If you're filling it with gas cans get a funnel that has a screen in it, I normally don't like plastic but a lot of my fuel troubles went away when I ditched the steel gas can for plastic ones. How to handle the current problem disassemble vs motoring through- the call is yours do you want to fight it every time you use it or do you want to fix it and be done with the struggles?

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
