i just got an h and it has a small tank on the side is it for the gas or the distillant how does this system work and what is distillant the same as (Kerosine, heating oil)?

also it says X6 on the end of the serial numbers and according to fARMALL LETTER SERIES the book X6 means that it has low speed gears does this mean it is just slower or does it alos have more power?

but the serial number does not say anything about distillant as far as i know no one has but the tank on the side did IH mabe not fill out all serial numbers to full extent with every factory add on?

PS i know that i cant spell and im proud of it

The small tank is for gasoline, used to start the tractor, and after the engine warmed up it was then switched to distillate. The distillate went in the large tank. Distillate is no longer available, and hasn't been for probably 30 - 40 years. The next closest fuel would be kerosene. I would bet that your tractor has not seen kerosene or distillate for many, many years. It has been running just fine on just gasoline, and the small tank probably hasn't even been used. The low speed gears you refer to are first gear only, all other gears are standard speed.
