I am stating what i was told by the lab that did the fuel testing on the sample of gas that we hand delivered from the tank at the farm at the time of the first meltdown. Did others in my area have problems with there gas tractors YES and each and everyone was fuel related . Did going up on grade of fuel help yes . Do you check timing each time you install a set of points?? Don't know about you but i do . Do you have to reset ??? sometimes sometimes not . Do you know how to check a distrubitor on a strobe and check the advance and what to do about it if it does not fall into the curve ?? . This is something that i have been doing since i was 17 and have owned a dist. strobe since then , so timing is not and issue here Carbs are not the problem as i prefer them to be a little on the FAT side . Also tell me why they have done there job the way they were designed to work for years as long as we feed them correctly with the fuel that is called for. and the only time we have had a problem is when (1) the fuel supplier delivered brought the wrong grade of fuel or this last time 93 with 10% ETHANOL . Because it is now MANDATED for us now and we can no longer get straight 93 . I do not have a scanner and i am not real computer savvy so that i could scan the report from the lab for you to read and see the graph of the burn . all i can tell ya is that the 93 we were getting did work for all of us around here that work then TILL now . But you do as you see fit for yours . Like i said it only cost us about 120 bucks a year extra for the amount of gas that we burn over buying the 87 and as i see it it has saved us more then that with the 3200 plus hours this tractor has run since the total rebuild with the loss of two pistons . Our 706 is the tractor of choice as to the first tractor started each and everyday. and it is the same with Eugene's brother the 706 over there is the one , now over at a other friends place it is the 460 then the 400 . They all ran better on the better gas .

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
