Hello tractorfriends.
Does anyone know the lowest octane rating that would work on a TE or TEA 20 ? I know the TEA 20 with 80 mm engine had 5.7:1 in compression. Today we have a high octane rating on all our gas, but what about in the late 40ties around here and there.
The later Ferguson 35 (UK built) had 6.6:1 in compression, maybe they needed a higher octane on the fuel.
I am just curious about it, if someone knows.
