While I have great respect for Vet's knowledge about Farmalls and IH's, something doesn't smell right on this problem. If you are telling us that your friend put some 87 octane in his tank and in the first round the motor begin to back fire and stop, then IMO your friend got some water in the gas he bought. I have run 221 cc and 263 cc for over 30 years now and find it very hard to believe that 87 gas would do that in a few minutes of running.

They sucked it out and replaced it with gas. Manager gave me 150 gallons at no charge because I told him not to worry about it. Did not hurt one thing. Told him to tell his driver not to dump gas in a disel tank or the outcome would not be the same. LOL Amd yes, my tank is marked GAS ONLY at the fill cap
