Well I'm going to start a brawl here. Everyone has said no and although I would agree with the advice,I have my doubts as to why you couldn't. The kerosene burning depended on an engine running in a much higher heat range. The distillate manifold helped create that range..BUT...that was not all. The distillate tractor had shutters that you closed to get the engine up to operating temps for kerosene and the kerosene tractors had a heat shield that fit over the entire manifold to hold the heat in. If you closed your shutters and had the heat shield in place the tractor would run on kerosene and run fairly efficiently once it attained the right temperature. The manifold itself is only a third of the equation. Yes why would you want to burn kerosene in todays world..but I think you could. I have two tractors that will run on kerosene, an H and an M, I have the proper manifolds and shields and they are shuttered. Once the heat guage goes up to the high end it doesn't matter if its the manifold,the shutters, or the heat shield thats responsible,it will run on kero.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
