Lead additive is not needed.........I cringe even calling it that, because it sure isn't tetraethyl lead. Previous commentary on octane is pretty much my opinion. I have all letter or F series tractors. They are get he same thing my car and truck gets: 89.

do an internet search on tetraethyl lead, and read why it was added and what it does. Then you can reach your own conclusion. It will help you sort out the 100 different opinions you will find here.
