IHC old recommendation- one cup of engine oil to 5 gallons of farm gasoline-- which in some places was very low lead. Brigges old recommendation- plain or unleaded gasoline 80 octane for the normal compression flatheads, White Gas/Naptha(coleman fuel) acceptable with some engine oil added for cold weather. Roger Welch book has a 100:1 2 stroke oil added to the unleaded gasoline as valve lube. I use non ethanol premium from Citgo or Kwik Trip for the older rigs like my Goldwing and the chainsaws, old flathead lawnmowers, a splash of Marvel Mystery oil or Rislone or the chainsaw 2 stroke oil from local hardware and chainsaw store- Stihl brand, Husky branded or base one gallon Wallmart 2 stroke oil for aircooled engines. Cub is low compression flathead and if you can get regular no ethanol it will be about like the distillate fuel of the time when some 2 stroke oil is added. Old BP(?) 'tractor fuel' was about 1/2 unleaded gas, 1/2 kerosene/light diesel/furnace oil, no road tax and used in winter for some diesel engines, replaced the 'distillate fuel' that was not produced as much after WW2 when continuous distilling of petro products was improved over the modified pot distillation methods that had the 'not quite one type or other' remnants of temperature dependent condensed in lines product before next higher temperature product. Ethanol is a solvent, sometimes that can be a problem and the 'phase separation' of water during storage is another. Have fun, don't check the fuel level while smoking, check engine oil and go play in the dirt. RN

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
