I see the starting tank after I looked more closely than before. The engines that were designed to burn tractor fuel or distillate needed to be hot before the distillate would ignite by a spark plug. The process in the days when distillate was used was to start them on gasoline, close the shutters until the engine temperature reached 170 or so degrees. Turned off the gasoline in the small tank & turn on the distillate valve under the large tank. Use the shutters to regulate the engines temperature. At the end of the work day, before you shut off the engine, you turned off the fuel from the large tank, opened the shutters, turned on the gas in the small tank. After the engine cooled off, turn off the engine. Before you started the tractor in the morning, drain the lighter oil off the top of the crankcase by opening the lower of the two petcocks on the oil pan. After it quits draining, close the bottom petcock & open the upper petcock. Pour fresh oil into the oil fill area on the motor unit oil drips from the upper petcock. You are then ready to start the distillate engine. A unknown amount of distillate hydrocarbons would leak past the rings and accumulate in the crankcase. They would float on the engine oil after they cooled and needed to be drained off after they condensed. Otherwise they would dilute the motor oil. BTW, that is why the two petcocks are seen in virtually all IHC oil pans of the era when tractors commonly were equipped with engines designed to use tractor fuel or distillate.
