JimN, a lot of that sounds just like the mechanisms that these old letter-series Farmalls had to run on alternative fuels back in the "40s, such as kerosene and petroleum distillate. Kerosene and/or "All-Fuel" tractors had a separate starting tank so the tractor could start up on gasoline. There were shutters on the radiator to help warm the tractor up on the less-energetic fuels. The carbs had bigger jets. There was a heat shroud on the exhaust manifold to help warm the carburetor. Problem is, all these features are now tough to find because most were removed when refiners figured out how to make more money off the petroleum distillates, and kerosone fell out of favor as a main tractor fuel. If you could find an original All-Fuel H or M with all the gadgets, you could probably make it run on moonshine.
