A buddy of mine ran E85 in a 1979 Ford Fairmont. He rebuilt the carb with modern gaskets and used a small drill bit to "widen up' the jet. It ran great. To run correctly on E85 the engine had to run richer. Also he advanced the spark timing a few degrees. The high alcohol content tore up the diaphram in the fuel pump, but that easily fixed. There was no problem in regards to plugs or anything.
A gasoline engine burning E85 usually burns more E85 than regular gasoline, but in your situation I wouldn't worry about it. I would think that because of the Farmall's low compression engine the lower BTU content of the E85 may not even be an issue.
