I remember my first exposure to the word "octane" was when we got our first hay baler in the early 1950's when I was around 10 years old. It had a Wisconsin V-4 gas engine (live PTO for the time) which had a decal near the fuel tank which stated to use 80 octane gasoline. I guess that was the standard octane for regular leaded gasoline of the period. Octane may have been measured in a different manner or on a different scale in those days so it might not be the same with today's rating. I think regular gasoline is just fine for these low compression and low RPM Farmall tractor engines. Hal
