Leroy: I don't remember as this was when I was about 9or 10 years old. I just remember dad and grandpa were unloading hay and it died took them a minute to figure out it was out of fuel. I guess that was not the first thing they looked at with it being a new tractor. Dad bought the gasser case, because the combine was a gleaner E with the D-19 or such engine about 60 horse and the case was about 68 so not a big difference and the combine only used about a half tank each day cutting wheat. Both jobs would have been close in length as dew and tough at night. He thought the case would be a similar fuel consumption. It liked it's fuel doing field work. My 806 diesel and the 930 case diesel were pretty close on fuel. The Cat would beat them both for work done in a day for fuel consumed. the D-6 would plow all day on about 20-25 gallon the Ih and case would use about 40 gallon per day on same length days. Starting after chores and plowing till dark. Or stiegers will work ground for about a gallon per acre to chisel plow with the older one and the newer one runs I believe cheaper on the disk. Pulling sunflower 29 foot.
