So I guess you are claiming that the Nebraska Test Institute fabricated their test results and Oliver never got the world's record for fuel efficiency in a gas tractor?
I admit I do not own a test lab, or an Oliver 1800 gasser. I DO believe the test results. The Oliver gas tractor run at the max of 74 horsepower used 5.6 gallons of gas per hour (if you believe those lying b*stards at the Nebraska Test place). Making 64 horsepower, the Oliver used 4.9 gallons of gas per hour. At 32.4 horse it used 3.4 gallons of gas per hour.
The Deere 3020 diesel making 64 horsepower used 5.1 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. Making 29 horsepower it used 3 gallons of diesel per hour.
The Farmall 806 took 7th place for the gas tractor world record in 1963. It made 93 horsepower and used 7.4 gallon of gas per hour. Compare that to a Farmall 966 diesel that made 91 horse using 7.1 gallons of diesel fuel.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
