Jim,
I do mean my comments as "tongue in cheek". Dry sense of humor or whatever.
As I mentioned in a previous post concerning this octane issue.......it isn"t the extra 20 cents a gallon that concerns me, buying hi-test over regular gas.
I just cannot understand why a low compression, 6 cylinder tractor engine needs a higher octane fuel. Furthermore, I cannot envision the heat expansion of aluminum pistons..to the point of seizure and/or scoring....due extra heat generated by a regular grade of gasoline.....alone.
Let"s assume....for the sake of this discussion alone.....that there was nothing but 87 octane available. What then? You just going to park it? Oh yes.....also assume there are no magic additives to boost the fuel"s octane. 87 is all there is and that"s as good as it gets. There is no pulling it apart and installing FORGED pistons...just cast aluminum.
I honestly wish I owned a 706 or similar and I"d see just how long it would survive on 87 octane.

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
