My cousin has a rare multifuel 9N ( starts on gas, runs on diesel, has two fuel tanks)It was a factory option and manuals exist. It uses a special carb and that is what I am looking for. Would appreciate any info on source and avaibility as well as price.

Thats a new one on me. I have heard about the ones that run on gas or kero but not gas or diesel. Do they have a model designation like the NAN?

To Old George: Sorry I misspoke. It WAS kero and gas that it ran on. I was thinking fuel oil (or coal oil as they called it in Indiana) when I said diesel. I also remembered that it is the intake manifold that was damaged, not the carb though it would be nice to find both. Finally, I believe that there is an embossed NAN on the manifold - I only saw it once.

I spend most of my time on other boards, but Old George is essentially correct. There was a specially designed manifold with a larger "hot" spot to help vaporize the kero. Usually tractors with this feature would have two tanks, a small one for gas, the large one for kero. They often had shutters over the radiator to help regulate the temp. Too cool and the kero wouldn't vaporize and would contaminate the oil (and loose power). Too hot and they would loose power. Usually multi fuel tractors would have a slightly lower compression ration because kero has a lower octane rating than gas. They usually had less power than gas. In other brands, the multifuel tractors are no more valuable than the gas models. BB

That makes a big difference. The manifold was probably the key diference in the N and NAN. I understand that while very few were sold here in the U.S. they were popular overseas especially in England, so there might be sources there. The manifold was designed to heat up the kero mixture after warming up on gas and I think that along with the dual fuel tank was the only difference, but I am no expert. Hope this helps.
