Thank you, this is good to know. I was able to quickly find a PDF version of the IH #40 catalog which seems to be good with showing the specifications and options. I will do some searching for some of the other literature you mentioned. Also may look into an I&T manual (#2 I believe) for the tractor as it also applies to the F series I have.
The most interesting thing on this tractor is how all signs point towards it being as you said, an all fuel/dual fuel tractor, with the adjustable manifold and remains of shutters, though the gas tank appears to never have had a small second tank. Possibly a replacement gas tank that someone tried to make look like it was an original? It has the fill and valve for the second tank but no actual second tank as seen by the picture of the inside of the big tank.
Hand cranking that engine sure could do that to you. So far I've been taking advantage of the electric starter, though will likely hand start it at some point to see how well it hand starts. Sounds like a nice bit of history you have on your tractor, all I know is this one came from out west when the previous owner bought it. Any chance I could get clarification on what you mean by being careful with the right foot clutch pedal? Also, could you post or email a picture of yours/the manifold setup? Ideally I would like to find the parts to complete mine, though being in New England it is very unlikely I'll find anything for it nearby.
