I recently restored a Farmall MD which has the same engine as the 450D. The 450D should start on gasoline like a gasoline 450 except for there is no throttle so it runs at a fixed speed. Parts are hard to come by for that engine including the carburator and injector pump. If you need to have the injector pump rebuilt it can cost $1000. There is a lot of complexity to the engine because it can run on gas and diesel. I spent a lot of time adjusting linkages, setting the timing on the injector pump (trial and error), etc. When I was done it is a great machine to drive, especially when you switch to the diesel mode. This engine was quite a design by the old International Harvester engineers of the late 1930's/early 1940's. Roger
