1. You say you want to keep it kerosene, which alludes to you having the kerosene pistons already? Any reason why the pistons can't be reused? You could buy new sleeves and reuse the old pistons. 2. I think the gas motors usually had a bit higher compression, but you probably could still run kerosene in it. 3. The bigger issue with the kerosene is (at least for allis motors which I am more familiar with) is making sure you have the right manifold to preheat the air in colder weather. Might have to custom build one. 4. As long as you get the motor up to operating temperature, you should be able to switch over to kerosene. I ran about 50/50 diesel/gas through the JD 520 (regular gas not allfuel). It has so much carbon in the engine, that it was dieseling when I shut it off, so I diluted it down a bit more, but it ran. Just remember to get it switched back over to gas on shutdown too so you can get it started the next time. 5. If you are running it on kerosene, who is going to know (except you) if you don't have the exact pistons? Good luck hunting down NOS.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
