Since it's been real hard (if not illegal) to get leaded fuel since the '80s or so - I'll bet your tractor has a long history of running on unleaded. Just go ahead with the unleaded. Your tractor runs slow, was over-engineered in it's day, and you probably won't be running it at full pull for hours per day redlining the temp gauge. (I do by the way, & my old tractors do just fine on the unleaded.) Someday the thing will need a valve job. Probably thousands & thousands of hours of use from now. Save your money that others spend on the 'magic' additives, use part of the money you save to do the valve job (probably with hardened seats), and throw yourself a real nice party with the rest of the money. :) It's just not an issue any more. --->Paul
