For a bit of instigation from the factory: IHC manual for old tractors I found for F20 project- mix 1 cup of motor oil to 5 to 10 gallons of gasoline when doing heavy work at full power, example- plowing. I think it was Wallace farmer about 10 years back had some articles on tractor wear of valves- IHC, Case, AC designs late 40s to 60s noted as most concern at full power use, JD twins(slow speed) and Ford N(hardened valves) less concern. Suggestion was 100 to 1 2stroke mix or other light oil mix. Earlier engines were often meant to run on distilate/kerosene like fuel or a 'tractor fuel' mix of 1/2 gas,1/2 kerosene base. English TVO (Tractor Volitise oil) mixes also oily base. RPM noted as above 1600 and heavy load, light use at 1/2 throttle was minimal wear. note valve guides also a wear point. Check valve lash, know your work load, a little oil in gas won't hurt. RN
