Hi everyone. I'm new here and hope I'm doing this correctly. I just purchased a 1939 beautifully restored, John Deere H tractor. I plan on just driving and and having fun with it. Maybe taking the grandchildren on a hay ride. From what I read, the engine was initially designed to start with gas and convert to kerosene. There are two separate tanks for both. The previous owner said that he only runs 93 octane gas in the tractor. He uses the tank which I think initially contained kerosene. It has a green cap on it. The other tank has a red cap. I see fuel in the green capped one. Haven't looked yet in the red capped tank. Is it ok to run just plain gasoline in this tractor?? Is it necessary to run 93 octane. He also mentioned to try and run non ethanol in it, but that might be difficult where I live. I do have an octane booster that I can use. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Nicholas C.
