It is (was) a low cost tractor fuel, like Kerosene. Also known as Vaporising Oil-V.O. in the U.K. (or Tractor vaporising oil- TVO) and Power Kerosene in Australia/ New Zealand My Farmall 'H' is a V.O. or Distillate tractor, I just use JET A1 (Avtur) Our supplies of V.O. stopped in about 1976/7 ish. The last V.O tractors were sold in the UK in the mid 1950's. The Fordson Major and David Brown Cropmaster Diesel killed those old spark ignition engines off in the UK. If you have a Distillate tractor and can't get JET A1. Mix 4 gallons Kerosene, 1 gallon petrol and add a pint of Diesel, it is somewhere near right and the tractor will go on it o.k. You must run the tractor at just below boiling point and keep the manifold shield in place. Do not stop the engine while running on it, turn back to petrol, or just shut the fuel off or it will be a sod to start again. The tractor will not perform right on straight Kero, and they tend to run hot on straight petrol.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
