Since it's been real hard (if not illegal) to get
leaded fuel since the '80s or so - I'll bet your
tractor has a long history of running on
unleaded.

Just go ahead with the unleaded. Your tractor
runs slow, was over-engineered in it's day,
and you probably won't be running it at full pull
for hours per day redlining the temp gauge. (I
do by the way, & my old tractors do just fine on
the unleaded.)

Someday the thing will need a valve job.
Probably thousands & thousands of hours of
use from now. Save your money that others
spend on the 'magic' additives, use part of the
money you save to do the valve job (probably
with hardened seats), and throw yourself a
real nice party with the rest of the money. :)

It's just not an issue any more.
