Ryan, sorry if this got double posted, I thought I answered it but didnt see it pop up on the board. The purpose of lead besides reducing pre ignition spark knock pinging, was to cushion the impact between the valve and its seat not "lubricate" the valves in their guides. With hardened valve seats this is prevented in no lead fuels. Without the additive, you may need a valve job just a little sooner, but if yore not using the tractor under sustained heavy loads, It will last a long time (without any additive) before you notice much difference.
