| Questions | |
| My father had two John Deere Model D's, my dad said the tractors ran on Distillate. I remember him mixing gas and diesel to fuel the tractors. Can you tell me the ratio of gas and diesel to mix the fuel to spark these ol' gems up again?
You can use gasoline. The D will run without problems on gasoline, it is what was used in the starting fuel tank. | |
