If (and only if) the tractor was wrecked by poor operator/owner will there be problems. I've owned an MD, and a TD20 with the gas/diesel engine. They are sweet, unique, and long lived. If it starts and runs well on gas, then switches to diesel within 2 minutes without continuous cylinder misfire (white smoke). And further, if you run it (or work it) long enough to get it completely warmed up, and it shows no excessive blowby from the crancase vent, and good oil pressure, it will be fine. Stuck valves from sitting in a fence row, cracked heads from improper shut down when hot, and poor maintanience are the problems I know of. They are economical of fuel, and start nice in cold weather. I like them. JimN
