Yeah and talk about cleaning up the environment. For sure a twofer.

I've got more than a barn full of old tractors, none on them been in a parade either... BUT, it's my diesel tractors that do the work around here!
When I put the first diesel tractor on this place, my dad didn't want nothing to do with gas tractors from that day on!

A carburated low compression leaded gasser engine from 1966 is much different engine vs a direct injected , high compression unleaded gasser in 2016.
Just as 1966 diesel is a much different engine than a 2016 Tier IV diesel engine today.
He is meaning the rules that applied then don't apply now. If we were to have a gasoline tractor come out it would need to be high compression, direct injection with a cat. A modern copy of an old tractor wouldn't fly because of the emission regulations. It might be a great copy of a great machine but it wouldn't pass regulations.
What year was it then and what year is it now. I stated in one of these posts that some people are stuck in 1966.
Ahh, ok, avoid the question, no problem.
They still make carbs you know..
1966 - Them's was day! Four barrels and 10.5 compression.
Yeah and carbs can be setup to run in exactly two places in the power band. Sorry but it's EFI for me, more power, less fuel etc. etc. etc. Installing a carb with so much EFI gear out there is downright next to stoopid. Why you may as well get a mule.
