F-30 Manifold: All-Fuel or Gasoline?

BT in NE · Oct 15, 2011

I am gathering some needed parts for my 1936 F-30 and have found an exceptionally good all-fuel manifold. It doesn't have the venturi tubes for the head ports, though. My question is can I use this manifold without them or does someone reproduce them? I have a gas manifold also but was thinking the fuel one would be more original.What do you think? I would appreciate any advice or comments. Thanks. BT

The kerosene manifold is original, every F30 tractor came with it. They were designed as gas start kerosene tractors. The John Deere term "all fuel" does not apply. The replacement/aftermarket gas manifolds came later as gas got cheaper and kerosene fell out of favor.

As for how it will run without the tubes in the head depends on if you plan to burn gas or kerosene. The manifold set on cold without tubes will work fine for gas.

you don't need the tubes. you will have a little more power without them.

Ditto what has already been said. If you are going to run it on gas, don't give it another thought.

if your heat selector valve is rusted up and wont move make sure its set on the COLD side. if not, and you try to run gas your gonna vapor lock it and be hatin' life. know from experience
