Originally from factory, the kerosene and distillate burners, burned these lower grades of fuel because they were cheaper fuels. Kero and distillate burners could not be started on these fuels with a cold engine. These tractors had a reserve fuel tank for gas, and these tractors had to be started on gas to pre-warm the engine up. Once the engine was warmed up to operating temperatures you could shut the reserve (gas) tank off at the valve, and turn the valve on the big tank on to switch to lower grade of fuel (either kero or dist. whichever). Note, that you could not have both fuel valves open at one time because the fuels would mix (messing the straight gas up). Also, you needed to switch back to straight gas before shut down so you could start againg once tractor cooled down. You can run these tractors on gas all the time with no problems at all. Not worth the hassle to burn lower grades of fuel at this day in age. Not sure that you can even get distillate anymore, and the last time I checked kerosene was higher than gas. I am familiar with prices for H's and super H's but not familiar at all with the value of the ones that are HV. Not sure how much extra those high crops are, but my first guess would be that 8 to $10,000 is way to high. Regular H's and super H's are in the $1000 to $1500 for one in good shape.
