Ya know my Dad keeps about 30 of those old IH gassers running, and if your melting pistons down and having spark plug problems, then its the mechanic fixing them that is screwing up. My Dad has never seen a piston melt down due to low octane gas, it is usually a timing issue. There are alot of IH gasser running hard in this area, and they run 87 octane gas with no problems. I run a Farmall 450 on our feed mill, I grind two loads of corn a day everyday with it. It gets the living s##t worked out of it and I have no problems. It has 57 hp at the dyno. Firecrater pistons and the jet has been drilled out on it. I will give you that gas was better back 30 years or more but the new gas isnt causing any problems around here. You said once with the new gas the tractor will run 30-30 degrees hotter. Mine run right at 185-190 degrees. So does that mean yours will run at around 165 degrees? Your not as smart as you claim to be, or My Dad being a 55 year mechanic is missing something
