The IH fuel tanks that crossed the top of the differential with a lobe going down each fender had problems with rusting out. If the tank was not kept full of fuel and the tractor sat for long periods of time condensation would cause the exposed metal on the inside of the tank to rust. If the drains on the bottom of the lobes were never used to drain off the water the tanks would rust near the bottom. If you sandblast the outside and you have corrosion on the inside you may blow through and have replace the tank. A friend bought a used 574 and started cleaning it up and found the crud on the outside was all that was keeping the fuel from seeping out. The new tank cost several hundred dollars. The new McCormick tractors use a similar design but use poly tanks.
