Gary,
Glad to hear you got your new tank and I agree 1 month is WAY to long. For farm equipment I've never had to wait more than a week for parts and usually could get them quicker if I wanted to pay for shipping.
Personally I'd put your new tank on the tractor and put the patched one in storage for a few reasons:
-How does JB weld respond to Biodiesel? The filter should catch it if it dissolves but why risk it?
-I patched a gas tank on my Blazer and it's not a matter of if but when will it fail. How many gallons will you loose when it fails and how much will fuel be at that time?
-If your like me storage can be at a premium. What if your tank gets moved, ran over, played with and damaged, (grandkids/kids), it'll be for moot.
Just my .02.
