It"s a 1951.
It will run on diesel, better if it"s winter #1 diesel. Coolant temps will have to be kept at 210F.Fuel efficiency will be poorer than a true compression ignition engine.
The idea of these old two cyinder all-fuels was to plough all day, cheap with the junk fuel the refineries had little market for. In fact if the stuff will pour and burn, that old Deere will run on it. Even drippings from gas wells and very light crude oil has been used.
How did you come across it and what tasks did you have in mind for it?
If equiped with a cold gasoline manifold, high compression pistons, timing adjusted, the carb float level adjusted and fuel metering leaned. They will do a fair amount of "odd jobs" for the gasoline burned.
