I got the H running today using the suggestions from this board. I couldn't rock it since it was on soft ground. I took the starter off and used jumper cables and it spun freely. I put it back on and it started right off. Thanks!

Another question: I'm using 87 octane, lead free gasoline. Is any type of additive recommended? (Northwestern Pennsylvania climate.)

Jerry, where abouts are you in NW Pa? I"m just west of Erie, about as NW as you can get in Pa :)

Hi Stan. You are TRULY in NW Pennsylvania!

We are about 65 miles southeast of Erie. We're actually in Forest County, but use a Fryburg post office address. Fryburg is in northern Clarion County.

We have 105 acres with 45 tillable, 44 hardwood timber, and the balance in pasture, house, barn, etc. You can see what we're up to at our website: www.tjcfc.org

What town do you claim, and are you a native of the area?

Theres only one thing the lead and other additives are good for. Guess what it is?? Well its a way to get you to spend your money and all you get from doing so is less $$ in your back pocket. They don't work don't help and don't do any thing but waste $$. If you want to add some thing to the gas pour in a little tranny fluid once in a while to keep the engine clean and the valve lubed.

Once again, thanks for the help y'all. After 21 years in North Carolina we recently relocated back to our native Pennsylvania by buying a farm from the Amish.

The H won't be doing a lot of heavy work, although I did plow 4 acres of spelt ground last fall with 2/14s. The Amishman had about 2 acres of it planted last year and I liked the straw and the grain. Also used the H to pull a small New Holland square baler for second crop. (No wagon.)

We'll be using horses to some degree as well, most likely Belgians. I would like to add another Farmall at some point, 65hp range with a 3pt hitch.

JS, Im not a fan of most snake oils and additives. That 87 octane is plenty high to prevent pre ignition spark knock unless your souped up to very high compression. Its true the lead in gas can provide some valve lubrication and protection, but it will take a longgggg ggg time to make much difference in valve wear and recession unless youre using that tractor under full and hot n heavy loads for longgggg ggg periods of time. Hardened valve seats are also possible if wear is really a problem.

About the only additives I use for long storage periods are Sta Bil to help prevent gum n varnish and increase the gas shelf life plus some low ash 2 cycle oil added to the gas which I believe may leave some of a protective film deposit in the carb or tank etc to reduce oxygen contact and oxidation PLUS it can serve to some degree as a top end and valve lube.

No additives are needed, nor is higher octane for your low compression engine.
