Yikes! That much (potential) unburned fuel must have made it tough to keep oil on the cylinder walls.

Just thought of something else: JD always bragged on how the two cylinder tractors could burn just about anything flammable. Did they have a similar procedure for draining off some oil and adding fresh every day?
I'm with PBG on this issue. My 36 WC Allis was originally duel fuel. Never had a problem with the crankcase oil level increasing.P B G wrote:I have never seen an increased oil level between oil changes, and it never comes out smelling like fuel, so I do not feel as if this is a concern.

KDM wrote:Hi. We just acquired our first Farmall A.
Body looks to be in good shape: someone's given it a good thick coat of brush paint. We saw it run before we bought it, but when we got it home, we realised some sod has taken the fuel bowl off.
Anyone know what the dimensions of the fuel bowl are? We're in the UK, so getting parts might be fun.
I hope you guys can help. We're more familiar with diesel tractors. The manual says it runs on distillate, but it only seems to have a single fuel tank.
How can I tell if my version is supposed to run on gasoline or gin? (Or kerosene!)
Thanks.
BTW - there are many more stupid questions where that one came from.

For parts, I'd try Steiner Tractor Parts: https://www.steinertractor.com/
