There used to be many cheap fuels used in tractors. Poorly refined petroleum called "low grade distillate", alcohol, vegetable oil, etc. Deere certainly wasn't one of the first innovators with multi-fuel engines. There were many complex vaporizing systems, as well as "hot-bulb" engines that could run many fuels. "Distillate" could be many things. Same goes for products that were sold as "tractor fuel." If it could be vaporized, it got used. "Hot bulb" engines were popular in Europe, in tractors and even a few chain saws.
Around the 1920s, Shebler made a popular "vaporizing" single carburetor setup for multi-fuel engines - and that's the system most Deere tractors used.
Kingston made a two carb setup for kerosene, distillate, gasoline, etc.
Fordson had a good system and used a Holley "vaporizer" carb.
Many Model T Fords also got adapted to run on the cheap fuels. But, many of them also got made into tractors.
