As others have stated, it was a dual fuel tractor originally. The info about the serial number ending in an X code may not hold up, it depends upon what year the tractor is. All the letter series were originally distillate tractors, thus the lack of an X code at the end of the serial number also indicated a distillate model. Also, an MD would reflect that fact on the serial plate as well, in the block titled, "model", and the serial number itself with be predicated with "FDBK" instead of "FBK". If you don't know the year model, just post the serial number here and someone will be able to tell you within hours, I am sure.
And the X5 code indicated special 5000 ft altitude pistons, not fuel used, though it was only used on distillate models. X17 is the factory code for distillate fuel engines.
