Octane shouldn't matter as much as ethanol content. Get no ethanol if possible, which around here is the high octane. This

Thanks. I believe up here I can get 90 no alcohol. Get it from a well used station, not a old marina etc. Sometimes it gets old if they don't sell much of. It.

ethanol free here is 91 octane
you want gas not alcohol
if they only have 1 hose for all gas types put a few gallons in your truck before you fill the cans for the tractor

I have a 1950 Farmall Cub and all I've ever ran in it is 87 octane. Never had an issue. the issue isn't running 87 the issue is when you don't run often enough if you go months 87 separates makes a mess a lot more than non ethanol gas guys that feed their chain saws on pro tree crews 87 day after day for years aren't the issue, alcohol and 2 strokes aren't great but oil is very good these days , the issue is joe home owner buys a new saw gasses it up cuts for 2 tanks worth and puts the saw away for 6 months or more. if you have to fill your tractor monthly then 87 probably isn't an issue

Are you sure there's ethanol in it ? I've never seen 91 octane containing ethanol here in WI.

Buy a jug of Stabil, and use it every time you put gas in.

The reason ethanol worries folks is that it damages carburators because of the plastic. NO plastic in a 49 8N
My 45 Farmall H was made to run on gasoline, alcohol, and kerosene. just

Are you sure there's ethanol in it ? I've never seen 91 octane containing ethanol here in WI. that is what I said , ethanol free gas in WI is 91 octane the 87, 88 , 93 all have ethanol the 91 stuff marked ethanol free doesn't or shouldn't having a wife that worked at a co-op with a gas station , truckers drop the wrong gas in tanks some times if your ever wondering why the 87 and 91 are nearly the same price for some reason , expect someone dumped 87 in the 91 and they need to sell it quick and get a new load of 91.

Make sure you drain the sediment bowl under the tank. It could be full of water.
