There is nothing in the fuel systems of these old tractors that can be damaged by the use of ethanol, and there is nothing in the engine that can be damaged. The problem you may encounter is that the E-10 and E-85 does not have as much energy in it as straifgt gasoline, so the tractor may not perform as well. Some simple modifications to the carburetor that will allow more fuel to pass through should solve the performance issue. Just my opinion, for what it's worth. I will be experimenting with E-85 just as soon as it is available in this area.
