I run AV gas in my 1937 JD A. Due to higher compression, I need a little extra octane. Also, it only gets a little run-time throughout the year (parades, hayrides, plow days and tractor rides), and the AV gas is very nice for those long storage problems. Tractor will start right up with only one or two pulls on the flywheel, each and every time.
On the other hand, I saw something in Green Magazine about a fellow using marine fuel in his tractors and liking those results. I am not familiar with it, but I would assume it to be close in quality to AV with perhaps a slightly lower octane rating? It is supposed to have better storage qualities and no ethanol. I may try marine fuel this summer. AV gas is easy to come by at our county airport, so long as you can catch someone out there... Last fall, it was around $5.50/gal, but it may have gone up since then.
Lastly, don't flame me for being a JD guy. I also own a Farmall M.
