Eric: Even if you work the tractor hard, other parts of your engine will require rebuilding long before the valves, and it will not be from the use of unleaded gas. Because of the low rpm of most tractors, they are quite imune from valve damage due to unleaded gas. I have Farmalls Super A and 130, been going on unleaded gas since it first came out. By times they have been worked very hard. When farming I had a Farmall 300, worked hard all the time, no ill effects. Where unleaded gas does it's damage is high rpm, high performance, older engines. You start getting above 2000 rpm, that is where the lead additives will help.
