I have a 1970 970 gas power shift. How many of those were made? How rare is it?

pretty rare ,.No doubt they will start up in sub zero weather . They were guzzlers compared to the diesel ,
and, any IHC and the 4020 would start and run betterat 1st start up.. But they could Out drink either the 930 or 970 gasser too . Find a leaded gas outlet and Stick with them . You will be content with the performance of leaded gas ,.. If you have to use e-85 ,..It will do alright . IF ,You shutoff the gas and choke every fume out of the carb before You put it to bed

The carb is getting rebuilt to brand new status right now. I just wondered how rare they were. I?ve seen numbers as low as under 100 made.

There is someplace in Iowa or Nebraska that fixes a carb to burn the modern gas. I know aguy with FD 3020 s that is very happy now after sending his off ..

I can get 100 low lead gas so I?m not too worried about it I don?t think!

106 total, 66 had powershifts, and 40 were 8 speed

Get a storage tank , and stay with them , Regardless of cost You will be headaches ahead. do not use E-85 unless you are running 20 plus hoursa week ,,. Even then You will have evaporation issues on very hot days and funky starting issues .

Good thing about that 100 LL is it basically doesn?t go bad.
