Most are right in most things. A couple of points though. In UK (I"m assuming you are in the US) the cost of running any tractor (other than a lawnmower) on petrol is prohibitive. Comparative price of fuel is about $6 for a USG. Later tractors with a thermostat did not need a radiator blind unless it was exceptionally cold in the UK (typically warmer here than in central US states). Thermodynamically, a kero burner is less efficient on gas than one with a gas head as the compression ratio needs to be lower for the low octane fuel. I use a mixture of 70% kero (28 second Redwood), 20% gas and 10% gas oil (34 second Redwood - diesel)if I am running lightly loaded, otherwise straight kero works OK. Regards, RAB
