Go ahead and use it, it won't make virtually any difference on a tractor. The lead additive was supposed to help valve life. Used valves have metal worn away through normal use and lead additive will not put anything back. Probably small older tractors aren't used as hard as when the original owners bought them so the wear from here on out will be limited. If a tractor needs a valve job, that needs to be done regardless of the gas used. Dale
