I really appreciate what you say, electro. Thank you. Thank you for correcting my terminology too.
Whenever we talk about economy in terms of money spent, it's important to remember that diesel fuel now costs more than gasoline. Two days ago I called the gas station in the nearest town, and they told me gas is $2.30 a gallon and diesel is $3.00 a gallon. The diesel is 31% higher, so a diesel tractor must be 31% more efficient in order to be as cost effective as a gas of the same horsepower--no matter what tractors we're comparing. That's putting a pretty stiff impost on the diesel.
By the way, if you want to see that old Reid run, I have some videos under "Sanderson Iron" on U-tube that show the engine. You might like them, I don't know. Or you can just do a search for "Joel Sanderson, Blacksmith" if that works better. I'd put a link here, but I don't want anyone thinking I'm running an ad or something.
