There is nothing in the fuel system of an 8n or 9n ford that will be damaged. There are no exotic rubber parts or parts made of exotic metals. What you will find though is that the e-85 does not have as much energy or btus as gasoline, therefore the tractor will not have as much power, and may even run very rough. I think it is possible to modify the fuel system to allow a substantially increased amount of fuel to pass through into the engine, and you would possibly also need to greatly increase the compression rating of the engine. If someone had the time and the money to do some experimenting, I think it would be possible to run these old tractors on 100% ethanol.
