    Ethanol vs non ethanol

    All of you guys running old carbureted tractors, do you recommend running non ethanol gas or is there no difference to just fill up with regular gas from the pump? Haven't tried yet, just curious as to if someone has tried.

    Ferguson valves

    My tractor has one of these valves on it, I know I lock the left lever back to work my 3pt but could someone explain how the other side would work? (Not my picture, I got it off Google but it is just like mine!)

    Kioti DK35SE with New Holland 452 disc mower
