Soundguy, The numbers you put up are about right for average work. I've often seen those tractors burn 2-2.5 gph. However, if you took that 5000, and ran it at maximum power, steady, 100% for one hour, it would probably burn close to 4 gallons. I say probably, and close. I don't think it would burn quite that much, but it might. My 7710 will burn 4 gph while chopping silage... but that's turned up too......
Just looking at the nebraska test for fuel efficiency, at the rating listed, and the power found on the test... it got around 16 hp per gallon of fuel, so at 4gph, that's about 64 hp. So, theoretically, it could burn that amount of fuel. I have absolutely no doubt in the world that the gasser would burn 5 gph. That's probably a conservative estimate, and by conservative, I mean it could burn more. I've got an IH C263 gas in an old combine, which is rated at 80 gross hp.... a bit less than the late 5000. It drinks 5 gph like nothing. It probably comes closer to 6 when it's working hard. It's just absolutley pathetic. I wouldn't suggest anyone ever buy a gas powered tractor to "work". Screwing around with it is one thing, working it is another thing. A gas tractor can, and will bankrupt you. Rod

The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
