That may be true , way back . But as i remember from Back in the Sixtys the gas pumps around here had the R-M-2 on them and just to REFRESH my memory here due to OLD age i took a walk up the street from me to a neighbor that has the old gas pumps from this town landmark stations that was tore down to make way for a bank . It was the last hold out from the serve yourself . It was a Sohio station and the Boron pump that was there best hightest gas still have the plaque that has the R-M-2 rating and 105 octane . But what ever . And here again Just how much gas are you putting thru your old tractors a year????? One guy said his wife would not let him buy the hightest . Lets see here one piston today at my cost was 87 and change plus the rings plus the gskts . Total cost of the repair equals out to a little over about 1200 gallon of gas over the 87 cost . It cost us about 120 bucks a year over the 87 price . This big spread between the grades of gas really did not come about that long ago . There use to be just a few cents difference not twenty cents . Most of you just play with your tractors , ya make a little hay maybe plant a food plot go to a tractor pull or a show and want them to look pretty . where as for us we use them to farm with . The newest tractor that is in the stable for all of my friends that farm for a living is a 1975 966 and the years go back from there . Even the diesel fuel we get today has caused problems with injection pumps and injectors . and nothing is getting cheaper to fix. I don't have all the answers but i do know what works . I do know my I H tractors from the H-M's up thru the 86 sires . Don't know a thing about the old F's and such as they require a hand crank to start and i learned at a vary early age that them cranks can plum eat you alive and have the scars to prove it . So if it had armstrong start don't bring it to me won't even conceder working on it.
