IH did that for two reasons. 1. Kerosene or distillate used to be cheaper than gas. 2. Gas was rationed and hard to come by in WW II when your tractor was built. (Although I'm pretty sure my dad could get all the gasoline he needed for his tractors). It is not practical to do it, but the IH engines ran better on the fuel for which they were designed. Meaning that an unmodified kerosene engine will run better on kerosene than it will on gasoline. I have no idea if todays kerosene is better or worse than that produced in the 40's, my guess would be worse. The only practical fuel now is gasoline.
