Vet: My 656 Diesel, would pull 5x16, 8" deep, using less than 1.5 Imperial gallons per hour. Probably was only making 4 mph, however a 5x16 making 4 mph will plow more than 4x16 making 5 mph.
As for the 9' haybine, 656 diesel 1 gpm, and yes I am talking Imperial gallons. I had used my 300 on that same haybine burning up 3 gallons of gas per hour. I didn't need to find out about a 6 cylinder gassers.
The 282 diesel, and I had two of them, required no tune ups until they had 9,000-10,000 hours on them. How many times did you tuneup that old 706 gasser, in the firs 10,000 hours. I kid you not, my 560 was rebuilt at 9,500 hours. That was the first time valve cover, oil pan were ever off. The injection system had never been apart or even adjusted, other than to step the hp at around 600 hours. My 656 went over the 10,000 hour mark, never having had valve cover or oil pan off, and injection system was never touched.
I had seen enough of old gassers by 1960, I didn't need to experience 6 cylinder tractor gassers. And don't run away with the idea you've worked these more than some of us. In 1976 my farming and custom work operation clocked up over 5,000 hours on 7 tractors and 2 skid loaders. Only the 1066 and articulated Deere went out on custom work.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
