Yes it is , if you switch back over to the gas side and let it run on gas it start to heat up since gas bruns hotter then diesel. I have been around them engines alot longer then most on here and know more about these engines then most as i have run them both in farm tractors and industrial equipment since the sixty's . The company i worked for had NO problems with head or block cracking and we had a flock of them from the TD9 on up to the TD 24 and all the gallion graders had the I H gas start switch over engines in them . I ran a S"/M Diesel and a 450 D both turned up and the last i saw my old 450 about twenty years ago it was still running with the same head . Ya want one to stay running then this is how it is done . always allow ample time for warm up , never let the starting tank be out of gas , keep it full at all time , Never stall it with out getting it restarted fast since combustion chamber temps rise and cause head cracking , go ahead and work the bag off it but keep and eye on engine tempand never run her in the HOT range if you have to stop working to let it cool down then do so . When the days work is done then let it run at just qa little over and ideal to cool down and i mean at the bottom of the temp gauge and don't be in a hurry . we use to let the stuff ideal while we were doing tack cleaning fueling up and greasing at the end of the dayand this could take a half hour to 45 min. , then we would shut down on the diesel side . We had NO problems with the engines the only problem we had with the I H dozers were steering clutches and finial drivers .

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
