Hello all,
I was reading a 40's era JD advert that mentioned the advantages of the low cost fuels that the 2Cyls could burn. In particular, the add mentioned Gasoline, Distillate, Tractor fuel, and Power fuel.
Would one of you wise old owls fill in the blanks for this young ( punk 58 YO ) pup?
I think tractor fuel is Kerosene, right? and the Power fuel? is that akin to bunker oil?
I just want to understand the reasoning behind the engineering and design of these machines. Their history is fascinating.
Thanks so much!
Bob
