Right, the small tank was for gasoline for starting the engine, and the large one was for distilate, tractor fuel, or kerosene. That tractor should run just fine on kerosene after it is warmed up. If you want to mess around, you can mix up kerosene and gasoline and make your own tractor fuel. Since it will burn either kerosene or gasoline, and the fuels are about the same price, find the ratio that the tractor likes, and you can demonstrate switching fuel at shows. Somebody else said 1/2 diesel and 1/2 gas. I have never used it, but see no reason that it wouldn"t work. After all that tractor was advertised to run on anything flameable. Originallly it had a curtain to roll up in front of the radiator to heat up the engine. These were often replaced with shutters. Some tractors they have been take off. If you don"t have a curtain, or shutters, and want to play, cut a piece of cardboard to put in front of the radiator. Otherwise you can"t get it hot enough to run decent. There isn"t any advantage to burning anything buy gasoline, other then to play.
