It must have been in the 60's, when a little local mill upgraded dryers, and Dad got their old MC 400 continuous flow. The "big" tractor here at the time was a quite new JD 2510 gas. That thing sure roared, adding to the noise of the dryer. In hindsight, they got a lot out of that little 180 cu in engine. We ran the dryer one day with the WD45, but I think it was right on the governor the whole time, just barely making speed. Along came bigger diesels. The AC 185 was the first one where we could run it on 1000 RPM PTO and save fuel/noise. After a lot of that it seemed like whenever you were running that tractor at that speed where it spent so much time, the governor acted funny. All of that convinced me that I was going to dry in bin, with no tractors running! Now I don't even need one to run auger, since putting up the elevator!
