Schmidty: To give you some idea on volume, I put 600 gallons each per year of unleaded gas through my SA and 130, for longer than I care to remember.

The old Farmall 300 that my dad bought new in 1955 is still going and probably has well over 25,000 hours on it. It is now on it's 6th set of pistons and sleeves. I know it was doing 4,000 hours on a set. It probably hasn't had a drink of leaded gas since 1970. Most of these tractors have had a valve change by now when being rebuilt. It wasn't valves that caused rebuilds in any of my tractors. Blowby will take these old gas Farmalls down long before any part of the head gives trouble.
