The Oliver Super 99, 990, 995, and I think 1900 and probably another came with a GM diesel. This was a Supercharged 2-stroke diesel engine. REALLY loud and no power unless you were at full throttle. The IH tractor was the HT340 that had a turbine engine and the first hydrostatic drive transmission.

The engine had a 12:1 compression ratio and made similiar efficiency numbers as a diesel. I recall some company had an expiramental fuel cell tractor also, but I don't remember which one. There were literally 1000's of expiramental tractors that were destroyed after testing. Steven
