Steve,
Straping my tank to the side of a tractor wheel would be a great way to de-rust the inside of my tank but unfortunately I ain't a farmer!! No tractor. So, I'll do the "hippy shake" method you used. Thanks for confirming that our 1950 model tanks do not have baffles. If they did, I wondered how I was ever going to get around them with aggregate or chains.
I've yet to order a new sending unit and flexible gas line, but I'm making progress with sanding down both the tank exterior and the interior platform behind the seat. It won't be long before I'll have it all back together.
