x1 Is high compression gas. I don't think it was the highest compression, There may have been a x for high altitude. If my memory serves me right

For the older tractors the codes are listed in the front of the parts books.

"X1" = Gasoline-only engine, lower compression than an "X3" kerosene burner.

bob you're a little bit off. the x1 is gasoline, highest compression. the distillate was medium compression and the kerosine was the lowest compression.+

Tod, a good place to start would be to purchase a copy of Guy Fays "International Harvester Tractor Data Book". It covers the "Letter " series IH tractors
