is lead additive necessary?

Posted by Schmidty on July 20, 2004 at 16:28:54 from (206.40.110.229):

My neighbor borrowed me his 300 rowcrop with loader. He gave me extra hydraulic fluid and a bottle of lead substitute. Is lead substitute absolutely necessary? My ex-father-in-law has ran all 5 of his tractors almost daily since lead was no longer added to gasoline, and they still run quite well. I know pre-1975 automotive valve guides and seats wear substantially but aren't the Farmall's seats hardened. If lead substitute really is required, what is the best and how much should I add. Thanks, Schmidty
