Just a thought here. Many vintage tractors were designed as all-fuel, meaning they were designed for lower octane fuels like distilate and kerosene. Granted E85 has a high alcohol content which is not exactly the same, but it does sound like those fuels have a lot in common. Things like lower power output per gallon and the need to have a warmer carburator. Many of these tractors had deflectors to warm the carburators with heat from the exhaust. For these reasons an all-fuel tractor might be better suited for running E85. The lower compression may be a benefit here too, since the higher alcohol content may give E85 a lower octane rating (more likely to detonate under compression) than gasoline. But like I said, this is just a thought...

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
