What fuel to use in a "H"?
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 7:05 pm
I am new to the H model Farmall.
How do I know what fuel it uses? I knew a guy that ran a little AC tractor that used Kerosene all during the war years, but it came that way from the factory. Didn't know that some H's were built like that. Can I tell from the data tag or by looking at a certain part? Its been parked since 1975 in the barn and the P.O. has passed away. Other than how the carb is set up, are there any internal parts that are different? ( head, sparkplugs, intake, timing, etc).
The model is a 1941 according to the S/N on the data tag.
The link below is what clued me in the the subject:

And...is (or was) distilled fuel the same thing as Kerosene(Jet A), White Gas, or something completely different? If I have a distilled H, can I mix gasoline and ???? together to get the correct mixture? Bad idea?
Thanks.
