Mike: These old Farmalls never did need lead or high octain gas. Those features were designed for high performance, high rpm engines and your Farmall is neither.

I've been running unleaded gas in Farmalls, now close to 40 years. I've probably had rebuilds done on 10 of these engines and all of them needed piston and sleeve kit long before head and valves gave trouble. My dad bought a Farmall 300 new, I do not have it currently but do know it's on the 6th set of pistons and sleeves. It was rebuilt roughly every 4,000 to 5,000 hours. I do remember on a couple of those rebuilds the head required little or no work. I can say much the same for my Farmalls Super A and 130.
