I went and dug some of the numbers off the tractor. The serial number is a FB H 131931. The numbers off the carburetor are 45108-DB from the brass tag, 6213-DA off the top casting of the carb, & 6212-DB from the bottom of the carb. There is no second fuel tank on the tractor. I know the Oliver 70 had one welded to the main tank or was the Farmall H a separate tank? Also there are no louvers in front of the radiator. There is the diverter lever on the exhaust manifold & a bronze petcock on the bottom of the carb bowl. This being said what dose this mean in teams of the functionality of the engine? Is there any good points to having this setup VS a regulator engine? What does an All Fuel Engine mean, and what are the carb settings for the high and low? I am an Oliver man with some Farmall M, SM, 400, & Cub rebuild experience under my belt, but no H’s. This is the first one I have restored. I have ran many of the bigger internationals 1066, 826, 5488, 5288, 706, 504, & 1486 but never worked on them. Many thanks guys!!!!! Brian.

Definitaly a distillate tractor... I'll bet the hood has an extra hole in it on the mag/distributor side...

No particular benifit to having this set up, the manifold is most likely already set to the "cold" position for running on gasoline, since it has been many, many years since kero or distillate was cheaper than gasoline.

The drawback is that, even in the "cold" position, the manifold will be hotter than a gasoline manifold and you will lose a little bit of power from that (not much, though). Also, the head is most likely the low compression casting, which also costs some power (unless high compression pistons have been fitted). My head casting is 8776D which is one of the distillate numbers. Even with step-head pistons my compression is lower than if I would have had a gasoline head, but the power difference isn't that much.

As far as carb settings, you basically develop a feel for it. The idle screw should be set so it idles nicely and the high speed should be set just so that it doesn't throw any black smoke. Right or wrong, that's how I've always set mine... in light pulling situations you can also lean out the high speed jet just so it doesn't stumble when you throttle up.

A manual from binderbooks dot com would be an excellent investment.

All fuel was a John Deere term. You H is designed to start on gas, run on kerosene or distillate. Your tractor is a 1943,no adavantage to it now since distillate isnt made any more, and kerosene is higher than gas in most parts.I run those kerosene manifolds with the "flapper" set in the middle, its not a diverter. IF you can work on an M or Super m, then the H is a piece of cake. (The parts arent quite as hevy)

An all fuel tractor is a tractor that starts on Gasoline and when the engine warms up, it is switched over to Distillate or Kerosene. The lever on the manifold is the heat control lever, they are on all fuel tractors too. The 1 gallon Gasoline starting tank was bolted to the fuel tank support on the mag/distributor side. It was a separate tank.
