Just finished a 1250-mile trip picking up a 57 WD45 I just bought from a fella. I have never owned one of these before and have a question on the radiator louver adjustment. The decal says to set the louvers at 170 degrees on regular gas and to set them at 190 degrees on tractor gas. What is tractor gas?

I've got a operator's and service manual on the way, but in the meantime, I'm runnin on pure instinct here. Thanks

AC made a WD45 equipped to burn distillate fuel (also called tractor fuel) and it was tested at Nebraska in Oct,1953. (#511) Tractor had to be equipped with certain items to burn distillate, among them, a modified manifold usually marked with a "K", carbureter changes, colder spark plugs, and run the temps higher by using shutters on radiator as well as thermostat. All of this info will be found in the appropriate manuals.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard of a WD45 with the radiator louver. Only on WD tractors, some WC, etc.?

I believe the "Tractor Gas" mentioned is Kerosene...only to be used in "All-Fuel" engines.....
