Well , as for the gas ya ya can get away with pump gas BUT ya may have some plug fouling from lack of use. As for the oil hey it's your engine if it was mine it would get the low ash in the 30 weight as diesel oild is just that and yea i know someone will say well i have been using that for years and i have had no problems . It is like this Guys and yes i m getting OLD a nd real GRUMMPY , Only once have i ever had to ask a question on something that i could not find and that was a pulley for the chopper . Ya never see me asken WHY IS my tractor doing this or that . AND JUST HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER taken a given tractor and put it on a DYNO and tryed different fuels or setting to see just to see if ya can get a bit more out of one OR gone sofar to see just where the pin falls out of the hand gernade and watch it make spare pice's and parts. I know for a fact that on my owen S/MTA that i can GAIN 1.5 HP with M&W flat tops stock head and carb with the updated curve kit in the dist over reg. gas or 87 verses 93 Yea not much but and increase never less reduce operating temp. by 15-20 degrees on the water temp . on heavy loads . Maybe i watch more closely to thing then others do ??? Most people never thing about things like gas . BUT making engines run to there best has always been my thing. From my days of drag racen trucking and on into the tractors . Just HOW MUCH more can i tweek out of this engine and what will the long term affects be on it . To me when i do a TUNE UP it is more then just throwen in a set of plugs and points , is the carb set wright is the gov. working like it should and is it scyn. to the carb will this thing idle where is is suppose to is it getting full throttle and full RPM is the timing doing what it is suppose to do when it is suppose to do it ?? are the valves dead on , Just how may of all you shade tree mechaninac able to do a recurve on a dist or rely able to rebuild a carb or make the changes to one to get a few more ponys . How many can do all the work on and engine including the machine work . Well folks i can and have been able to do all this for more years then i care to think about . What i should have done a long time ago is set a web site and been like a Dr. if ya want the correct answer then give my your VISA or Master card # and i E/Mail ya . When it comes to the Letter seires thru the 86 seires i have already been there and done that before that Plum don't know and after that plum don't know . Do i know other color tractors not really have i worked on them yes am i and expert on the other colors NO I chose to work on one color and be darn good at it .
