Yes it is , if you switch back over to the gas side and let it run on gas it start to heat up since gas bruns hotter then diesel. I have been around them engines alot longer then most on here and know more about these engines then most as i have run them both in farm tractors and industrial equipment since the sixty's . The company i worked for had NO problems with head or block cracking and we had a flock of them from the TD9 on up to the TD 24 and all the gallion graders had the I H gas start switch over engines in them . I ran a S"/M Diesel and a 450 D both turned up and the last i saw my old 450 about twenty years ago it was still running with the same head . Ya want one to stay running then this is how it is done . always allow ample time for warm up , never let the starting tank be out of gas , keep it full at all time , Never stall it with out getting it restarted fast since combustion chamber temps rise and cause head cracking , go ahead and work the bag off it but keep and eye on engine tempand never run her in the HOT range if you have to stop working to let it cool down then do so . When the days work is done then let it run at just qa little over and ideal to cool down and i mean at the bottom of the temp gauge and don't be in a hurry . we use to let the stuff ideal while we were doing tack cleaning fueling up and greasing at the end of the dayand this could take a half hour to 45 min. , then we would shut down on the diesel side . We had NO problems with the engines the only problem we had with the I H dozers were steering clutches and finial drivers .

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
