It seemed like a good idea at the time

I have a 51 Case DC with a loader on it. I bought it about 4 years ago because I live on an acreage and have some use for one. I bought it from a friend at work. He told me he had had problems with junk in the gas tank plugging the carburetor. He took out the sediment bowl, shut- off and tapped it with 1/4" npt and put in a sintered bronze air muffler from an air system. It would run pretty good and then die for no apparent reason. After a couple seconds, it would start fine. I have tried several inline filters and cleaned the carb out several times. Nothing seemed to help. I did a little more diagnosing and determined that it wasn't getting enough gas.
Since my FIL wants to borrow it and it is an 8 mile drive, I decided it needed to get it running better. I drained out the tank yesterday (which took forever) and took out the muffler. I put it back together and took it for a 2 mile run. It didn't miss a beat. Kick myself for waiting so long.

If it were mine, I would take off tank, take to a radiator shop, have it boiled out and cleaned, then put back like it is supposed to be. That is my opinion.

Don't stop there. Put it back together the way it was originally from the factory. Clean that tank out completely, install a new sediment bowl assembly, throw away that in-line filter and get a new fuel inlet fitting with filtering screen for the carburetor, and when you are done, and that ol' Case is purring like a kitten, you can tell your friend that he should never have tried to out guess the engineers that tested the original system for years and years and basically could not improve on it.
