Glad you found a replacement!
I've got a 'problem' CA gas tank myself, have been watching this thread closely. It had some damage that was visible when I bought it. Took it off the tractor to fix it this fall. Uncovered three leaks, would love to know how the damage happened! Anyway, I have brazed, and brazed, and brazed on the stupid thing and can't get it to seal. The leak is down to tiny but still there, a sealant on the inside would probably fix it. It will still need body filler to look right so I'm leaning toward a good used replacement, if I can find one. Sad thing is, other than the leak, the tank is in fantastic shape!

Clean and solder it... mmm, I know you can't weld where brazing is, can't remember if soldier sticks to brazing or not.
 Bought a tractor that had the tank relined with that red tank liner. couple years later it was back to leaking and I looked in and the goop was hanging in the tank... If you can get a nice glass sealer to work in there it might be better, but imo, I wouldn't waste time coating the inside of tank with the liquid liner, just a temporary solution.

North Country in Queensbury did a tank for me off our family heirloom JD M, about 2 years ago. Cleaned and lined in the $400 range. 

At first I didn’t want to spend that kind of money on a $1500 dollar tractor. Thinking along the same lines myself:  “For that, I’m almost a third of the way there to a whole other tractor.”….But another tractor wasn’t going to fix what I already had and after scrounging for the perfect used tank, I couldn’t fine one much better than the one I had, so I bit the bullet ,spent the money, and was instantly glad I did. After years of spitting, sputtering, dying and multiple carb cleans; Tractor has ran like a champ and hasn’t missed a single beat since.

Yes Jay where are you located? I tried calling North Country Radiators three days in a row before Christmas I guess they took the week off. I bought a nice tank it’s on its way however I’d like to fix this one too for someone who needs it. Dana
