Yes I burn 100ll in my gas tractors and use it in my motorcycle when storing for the winter. I have to sump my av bulk tanks so I have it readily available that would other wise be waste. I wouldn't burn it exclusively if I had to pay pump price. Many local restorers get five gal or so of 100ll to overwinter with. It is nothing more than 100 octane with a small amount of lead and preservatives. Kind of like what you used to get before fuels went unleaded and started to burn valves in our old hunks of iron. I use JetA too in all-fuels or with kerosene manifolds. I use it occasionaly in diesel applications especially in the winter where I might gel up. Kero burns dryer than diesel so if I am running it alot I may mix just a hint of Marvel Mystery Oil for a little lube quality. Remember it is unlawful to road these fuels but to use for tractors especialy for storage purposes it is wonderful stuff. 100ll will not damage old fuelines or rubber like ethenol will either.
I bet some of your puller friends now the value of 100ll too.
