I need help! I have decided to put the H I bought back like it was in 1942. It is an all fuel and I want to know if it can run on gas all the time or will it damage the tractor to do this? I have never been around an all fuel before and do not want to damage the motor. Thanks for all your help.
 
Modern gasoline is no problem. IH made a distillate model, and a Kerosine model. Different to some degree, but similar.
You will not like to run it on Kero it will act poorely and smoke. Kero can cost big bucks.
There is no supply of tractor (distillate) fuel at all. Just use the extra tank as a reserve for gasoline. It may hav already had a piston replacement with popup pistons and might not like kero at all. Good luck. Jim

If you read the operators manual, it states that you can run on gasoline, just take the heat shield of the manifold, probably missing already, and use the cold manifold setting. The nearest equivalent to kerosene is probably JP4 (jet engine fuel). Kerosene is now about three times the price of petrol (gasoline) in New Zealand whereas in the 1940s it was about the third of the price. Kerosene requires much more frequent oil changes and risks greater cylinder wear because the kerosene washes the oil of the cylinder walls if the engine is not hot enough to stop it condensing.
Use the starter tank as a reserve tank.
