Hi, What type additive do you use for these old tractors? With the no lead fuels of today will it hurt not to add anything to it?
Thanks
DeeDee.

Just run regular unleaded. You won"t have any problems.
These are very slow turning engines and are very forgiving.
Been running regular unleaded since they stopped selling leaded gas and everything {All 7 tractors} are running fine.

Is that an 82S? I'm always looking for them,(within reason), or even parts, if you know of any.

Jeff has it right.
If and when you ever need a valve job, a good reputable shop can fix your head up with the latest technologies.
Until then, enjoy it!

Hi Bob, I am not sure what it is other than it is old perhaps a 1962 I dont have the serial # yet. Its a good looking old girl It is all there.
Perhaps you can tell me what a 82s is so I can find out if it is. I am wanting to get it this weekend But if it rains like they say it is...I will have to wait the road leading to it will be to muddy

Bye.
