Even though your tractor will most likely run just fine on E85, I wouldn't do it for 2 significant reasons...

1) 85% Alcohol will break loose all the crud in your fuel tank, carb, etc... and while it is good to clean the fuel system you will also be very upset when everything plugs up with the crud.

2) Alcohol is corrosive and will eat the rubber parts as well as the metal in the system. E85 vehicles(FFVs or Flex Fuel Vehicles) come equipped with Stainless steel gas tanks and fittings, special rubber seals, and gas lines with a Teflon coating on the inside.

Just in case you are wondering, I know these facts first hand from some work with EPIC (Ehanol Promotion and Information Council) that I am currently doing.

Just my 2 comments and 2 cents against it.
