Greetings gentlemen! I've been skulking about this forum for the past couple of weeks, and I must say that the level of knowledge possessed and shared by you fellows is of definite wealth. I came here seeking knowledge and have been richly rewarded simply by lurking and reading. A sincere tipping of my hat and raising of my glass to all of you. I have a question however, that I've not seen addressed in my reading so far, so I thought I'd tap into that knowledge base in an effort to find the answer. I'm a wet behind the ears tractor fan, my sole experience to this point amounting to a couple of years with a Ford 800 doing chore-type work around the homestead a number of years ago. Fast forward to the present, and I find myself very much interested in acquiring a 1969 856 with a diesel between the rails that I've come upon. The serial plate lists the model as F 856 sans the "D" that I've seen on other diesel equipped machines. My question: Is it an airtight rule that the serial plate would always denote a factory diesel with a "D" on the plate, or was it a "fast and loose" rule that allowed for some variance? Obviously, what I'm wondering is if this beast was born as a gas guzzler and at some point was reborn as an oil sipper. Any light that can be shed will be greatly appreciated. Thanks gents.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
