Look at your serial number, if the number is followed by X1, then your M left the factory equipped to use gasoline. If there is no suffix, or at least if the suffix is NOT X1, then the M left the factory equipped to burn distillate. Distillate fuel has not been available for probably 35 to 40 years, so most of the old tractors were converted to burn gasoline already. A few were never converted, the owner simply put gas in the tank instead of distillate, and the tractor pretty much never knew the difference. The only difference in the carburetors is that the distillate carb had a brass drain cock in the bowl, and the gas carb has a pipe plug.

The cylinder head is also different, the distillate head being lower compression, but unless you are into tractor pulling, you will never know the difference there either.
