53 Ford NAA sediment bowl removal

My tractor was running good for about 8 minutes with my cutter then it starts acting like it is starving for fuel. I took the fuel line loose and fuel is barely coming out at the carb. I looked at the sediment bowl and see no fuel. Not sure how to take the bowel off. Feel as though it is clogged up but not sure. Can someone please give me advice on this ? Thanks
 
Well, step one is make sure there's gas in the tank. Make sure the valve is fully opened, and try cracking the gas cap open, to see if the vent is plugged. If you've got a full tank and tank the sediment bowl off, it will result in gallons of fuel all over the place. I'd recommend syphoning the gas out first if there's any in the tank.
 
tstrickland3903- Welcome to the board.

The seiment bowl is threaded into the bottom of the fuel tan. Just unscrew the assembly from the tan. Also, there is a screen filter that is attached to the sediment bowl that rises into the tank. Just unscrew and pull straight down.
 
Ford NAA has a reserve built into the shut off valve. You can be out of gas with a gallon in the tank. Open the valve part way and you use the top portion of the tank. Run out of gas open the valve all the way and you get what is left.
 
tstrickland3903- The entire sediment assembly will unscrew from the fuel tank along with the screen filter I mentioned.
 
To remove the glass bowl you just loosen the nut at the bottom
of it and move the bail to the side. Do that with the valve off.
Once you get that off there is a screen and a gasket above the
glass bowl that you can remove and clean. Gasket may be cork
or rubber. They make both and either will work.

Once you get that off and the screen cleaned check the flow.
If you still don't have good flow there is a screen on top of the
whole sediment bowl assembly inside the tank. That one is only
accessible by unscrewing the whole sediment bowl assembly
from the bottom of the tank. That makes a big flammable mess.

Normal operation is to open the sediment bowl valve two full
turns. Only open it all the way if you need to use the reserve.
That reserve is normally full of rust/crud and will plug up your
carb and/or lines if used after 60 years of service.

I had to replace the tank on my Jubilee. The coating inside the tank was flaking off. Got new tank from YT.
 
On my IH 300U, the rust and junk inside the tank was constantly clogging the tank bottom hole. So I took the air compressor and blew air into the fill hole with a rag sealing it up, pushed all the junk out, into a funnel & bucket of course. No problems after that.
