Hi All. I'm wondering if someone out there might be able to give me some advice. I'm a writer working on a novel that involves - I know it sounds odd - around a man who is devoted to repairing an antique tractor from the year he was born. Here's the catch: it has to have a diesel engine (he's converting it be able to run on biodiesel - vegetable grease). And it has to have been built sometime around the early 20's to the late 30's. I know most tractors weren't running on diesel then, but I understand some European-made ones were toward the late twenties. Right now I'm thinking of going with either a Duetz MT320 from 1926 or a HSCS K-40 from the mid-twenties. Does anyone out there have any other ideas? Or any reasons why those two choices wouldn't be feasable? Really, I'd be tremendously grateful for any ideas, help, suggestions...etc. I grew up around farmers and farms but don't know a whole lot about tractors. I'm learning, I'm learning. And this site is invaluable. Thanks so much to you all in advance. - Josh
