Dr. Walt On a little more serious note I will go into more details than in my previous note. I have owned several of both 7.3s & 5.9s. I used to do a LOT of hauling & pulling for a living. The 5.9s will get about 2 mile per gallon better than the 7.3s The 5.9 will lug better in the mountains. BUT I had tranny troubles in the dodges (automatics)when I had around 400-450K on them. The Fords were trouble free for the most part but I did have front wheel bearing trouble at about 250K & I thought the seats were starting to break down before there time BUT I usually only put about 350K on them before I traded as per the Dodges I ran about 600K before I moved them. I think as far as buying used I would look at maintenance schedules & like anything used just hope for the best.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
