[Farmall] Replacing the gas tank

[Tim Savelle]

They are definitely screw holes.  I peeled the paint off the first 2
blisters and sanded the bond-o down to the metal.  Another one has blistered
since.  Looks like 3/16" self-tapping screws were used.  I'm not sure how
many other holes might be under the paint.  I can't imagine what someone
would have wanted to mount on top of the gas tank so badly that they shot
screws into it.
