danny: The Super A will certainly burn gasoline, it could also be equiped fot burning kerosene. I have never had anything to do with kerosene burners. I know they require extra equipment. They were also able to burn a product called distillate, which also required extra equipment. Whether the extra equipment for kerosene and distillate were exactly same I'm not sure.

My dad had a W4 that was equiped for one or the other or both. It had small, probably 1 gallon fuel tank under hood just in front of regular tank, that was use for gas for starting. The tractor also had shutters in front of radiator. There was also a shield around carb to deflect heat from manifold. I was only 9 when they traded W4 off for an H in 51. I don't remember them using kerosene or distillate, but understand they did during WW#2. A Super A would need all the same items.

There are numerous guys on here with kerosene and distillate experience. CNKS is the first guy that comes to mind. Sorry but I'm just not absolutely sure I'm exactly right on all of this.

These guys see activity on this they will jump in, if not go to the IH page, you will find someone that knows.
