Diesel fuel is used in the torque converter. We mix one gallon ATF to four gallons #2 diesel because today's fuel 'aint what it used to be' so that's the reason for the ATF.
Thirsty is a good definition but I think ravenous is better. The stats claim it has a range of 100 miles on 125 gallons of gasoline. I don't know if that's under load or not. The ignition is controled by a cable similar to a PTO cable in a truck. The knob is under the dash and the cable goes to a switch/anti-diesel valve on the intake manifold. When the knob is pulled out the switch on the manifold powers the ignition and electric gauges in the dash. An anti-diesel valve closes at the same time to let vacuum through the two Zenith down-draft carbs.
I don't own this machine but I am doing a very thorough restoration. Everything will function when I'm done, except there won't be a belt on the compressor. Gotta park it in the shed for awhile now to free the shop up for the spring fieldwork machinery.
