I'm inclined more to the mechanical opnions than the conspiracy theories. While lead is used as a lubricant, more often than not, antique tractors are not used enough to substatially degrade from the lack of lead in their fuel. I used to use the additives in my antique cars and then decided to put in hardened valves and seats instead. It was much cheaper and by far more effective in the long haul. If this tractor is a regularly used machine (everday), put a bottle in every 5th tank. If it is more of an occasional use and showpiece, do it when you remember to. Regardless of the above approaches, your end goal should be the hardened valve and seat replacement.
