I know of two 1855 gas tractors. I would not own one unless it was given to me or I had little intent to use it alot. Maybe for an auger tractor. Lots of little irritating things go wrong vapor lock, distributer problems, carb problems and power out put is inconsistant. Those things aside and compairing un updated engines, the gas probably would last longer as they could stand looser wrist pin bushings and there was less stress on the rod bolts as compaired to the diesel. But even the gas will send rods out the side and would benifit from the same updates as the diesel rod bolts, harmonic balencer and solid pin bushings. And with the 310 never forget about electrolisis it is the single most reason I see most of the higher hour or original diesels fail. The gas dose not seem to suffer from electrolisis. gases seem to go on average 3,000 to 3,500hrs on an original diesels average 2,500 hrs although I have seen 1755's make 5,500 hrs if they were in hay and less load type situations.
