Never had any experience with the 6 cylinder gasoline tractors but if IH actually built a farm tractor that required prenium gasoline that was certainly another nail in theie casket.

93 octane was hardly premium gas when these tractors were in their heyday. Didn't you read vet's account of putting 105, ONE-HUNDRED-FIVE, octane gas in that old Mack truck?

Do not know what Tractor Vet ran in his truck but I drove a truck some in that day and we did not use 105 octane for sure and fleets that ran hundreds of gasoline trucks did not either . As has been pointed out before in this thread Reasearch method octane ratings were poated on pumps 30/40 years ago and that method gave higher octane rating than todays posted numbers which are are average of mechanical/reasearch method and that gives lower number. Bought new Toyota Tundra in 2000 and manual called for 91 octane reseach method or 87 octane research/mechanical method. The fact that that octane is average of research/mechanical method is posted in small letters on most gasoline pumps.

Should have said motor not mechanical method.

Tractor vet is the only source I have found that makes such a claim. About the middle of the page at this link is very different information. 105 octane would have been aviation fuel.
