Hi All. I'm wondering if someone out there might be
able to give me some advice. I'm a writer working on a
novel that involves - I know it sounds odd - around a
man who is devoted to repairing an antique tractor from
the year he was born. Here's the catch: it has to have a
diesel engine (he's converting it be able to run on
biodiesel - vegetable grease). And it has to have been
built sometime around the early 20's to the late 30's. I
know most tractors weren't running on diesel then, but I
understand some European-made ones were toward
the late twenties. Right now I'm thinking of going with
either a Duetz MT320 from 1926 or a HSCS K-40 from
the mid-twenties. Does anyone out there have any
other ideas? Or any reasons why those two choices
wouldn't be feasable? Really, I'd be tremendously
grateful for any ideas, help, suggestions...etc. I grew up
around farmers and farms but don't know a whole lot
about tractors. I'm learning, I'm learning. And this site
is invaluable. Thanks so much to you all in advance. - Josh
