I have heard it was a fuel cost issue.

Heats the compression chamber so the diesel would ignite easier. Not like the pony motor Jane Doe's used to spin over the diesel motor. Pre-glow plug or direct injection engines. The gas side also opened small valves in the head, one for each cylinder, to drop compression so it would start easier on gas. These gas start diesels are nice when they run good. Can get very pricey if the motors are stuck or there are issues with the motor/head. Notorious for cracking heads as well. Used to have 3 gas start diesels. Sold em and wish I had a couple back. Dad still has his 400 Diesel and 450 Diesel. Nice tractors.
Bet back in the day, it was an engineering nightmare. First gas start diesels Farmall had were the WD40's. Those were brutes.. Tim, that's a nice, straight 400.

The gas was strictly for warming up, you may could putter around the farm yard but that was it. Don't confuse these with the older engines that ran on kerosene (distillate) or gasoline. Interesting footnote (going by memory) IH made the first wheeled tractor with a diesel, Cat made the first crawler (tracked machine). I used to want one of these tractors bad. Lucked up on an ID-9 not far from the house. Rainwater had gotten on a piston and busted a sleeve (dry sleeves), so the engine was gone. Sent it down the road as a parts machine. Seems like it wasn't that long ago, it was actually 25 years ago.

the engine was not a high compression diesel as today's are, which made them hard starting. once warmed up with the gas it would take right off when switched to diesel. once glow plugs were developed as with the 656, 706 tractors the gas part of the motor was not needed. now the diesel engines are high compression and are direct start engines with no assistance needed unless your in colder climates like here in mich. in the winter we use block heaters.

...right. When the gas start diesel engines were developed/manufactured there was no such thing as a start on diesel engine. It wasn't a thing. JD couldn't do it so they had a pony motor. (a 4 cylinder engine to start a 2 cylinder one. )

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
