They start on gasoline and then switch over to kerosene or distillate once the engine is warmed up. The small (gasoline) tank should have a line to the filter under the main (kerosene or distillate) tank. They should have a radiator shutter and water temperature guage, the engine has to be kept hot and they also have a hot manifold with a lever to control the amount of heat transferred from the exhaust gasses to warm up the inlet manifold to prevent the lower volatility fuel from condensing in the manifold and cylinders. There should also be a heat shield to keep the manifold hot. If only running on gasoline the small tank can be used as a reserve and the shutters are kept fully open (or removed) and the manifold heat shield should be removed. The manifold valve should be set on cold. These are all covered in the Operators Manual. The Kerosene or distillate tractors did not have any serial number differentiation as in the early days this was the standard arrangement. When higher octane (70+) gasoline became more readily available, and cheaper, they often supplied the cold manifold (then only sort that seems to be available now)and the tractors had a X1 suffix after the serial number.
