Just keep in mind that lean is mean . and when the engine is not getting what it needs then the gov. tells the throttle plate to open wider . Tune it like your going to work it . Go thru every thing and be dead on with all your settings . Pay close attention to valve set and look at the wear on the rockers , Don't try and get the whole feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve stem as this gives a false reading and set .

Ya want something that sips fuel then get a Old 400-450 Diesel or a 720-730 Deere a David Brown . look at the size of the fuel tanks and that will sorta tell ya how much fuel a tractor will eat in a day , all but and old M that we had put twenty gallon in at the start of the morning of picking with a two row mounted and it would tell ya when it was lunch time as it was out of gas. Put twenty more in it and it would tell ya when it was time for supper . She would suck down twenty gallon in four hours five gallon and hour picking corn .
