Well, now I know there's at least one other tractor guy on the board!
I have one Farmall too; a '70 Farmall 826... about 92 hp. It has a German Built Neuss, direct injected diesel that was noted for it's fuel economy. Basically, they took an 856 and replaced the 105 hp 404ci with the Neuss 358ci and called it an 826. This tractor has 8,200 hours but can still give me a skosh over 4 GPH working at 85-90 percent power with a 9-shank chisel plow behind set at about 10 inches depth. Have run it on B15 but it likes straight ULSD best.
