I am the (proud?) owner of a 1963 Case 830 tractor with a 4 cylinder gas engine. We have always used 87 octane farm gas in it, and I never really thought about it maybe needing lead substitute since unleaded gas became the standard years ago.
It crossed my mine a few days ago, but all the googling I have done has yielded zero results. Do any of you guys have any ideas if I ought to add a lead substitute from now on?
The tractor runs pretty decent but needs carb adjustments and new plugs every couple hundred hours and hates ethanol even in 10% blends. We run 15w-40 in it for engine oil.
