Looking at a 1948 MD locally owned and am attempting to eventually get it to run on the gas side. The owner last ran it about a year ago, but started it on diesel by towing it. From what I know about MD's , which isn;t much, they should start on gas and shut down on gas to [protect the cylinder head. The linkage from gas to diesel seems to work fine, the radiator is full of antifreeze, and oil doesn't appear to have any antifreeze in it. There is a wire from the Mag to the manifold that has been broken, but is still there and could be spliced together. This is to kill the mag during diesel operation, I think. This tractor has no ignition switch, and has an alternator. Shouldn't it have a push/pull switch, otherwise, how do you shut it off after switching back to gas?? Not sure what's going on here, nor whether to tackle this project, but could sure use some advice. I might end up owning this tractor if things work out. Thanks, and sorry for long post.
