1943 JD A Fuel Question

One small, and one large. The tractor has a selector nob between each tank and one is labeled with an F and a G. We would ask my grandfather, exactly if it was a diesel started with gas or if it was just gas, but he died before we could ask him. We know that he ran it on gas only when he ran it, but we're worried about damaging the thing since it is a realy antique, and it has some sentimental value.

The other question we have is if it would be better to keep it as a 6V w/generator, or to convert it to a 12v/alternator. We converted a 1964 JD 440 and it would be easy to perform, and put it back to original condition.

Thanks,

Matt

Use to start them on gas and get them hot and run cheap fuel in them and not that expensive gas.

Worried about damaging the thing since it is a realy antique. These thing were made to work. As long as the motor runs good and sound. Don't worry.

Please leave it 6 volt. I don't know much about this as all my Deere's are hand start with mags.

My 2 cents.
