I dunno. In my experience, the differences in fuel consumption are not that great. As an example, my old 4000 Ford often uses about 1 gph on light work. The 3930 Ford that has 7 hp less will burn 2 doing the same thing. The big difference is that the 3930, with it's loader weighs in at close to 8000#, and the 4000 might weigh 6000#, along with the 3930 moving close to 20 gpm through it's various pumps, where the 4000 might move 7-8. Even though that oil is not at pressure, it's still moving, and that's taking power. That's where I see most of the difference. I'll probably start a color war with this, but comparing an old Orange tractor to any green thang isn't really fair to begin with. From what I've seen of most of the Allis engines, they were fairly efficient. From what I've seen of most of the Deere engines, most were not... Mabey others have different experiences, but that's what I've ovserved.... When it comes to truck engines, the electronic engines win hands down in fuel economy, and in so many other respects that it's not even worth comparing them. Rod

Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
