Another IH in the shop.
Got another one in, I think it's a model 400 but not sure. It's here mostly for mechanical work. It's an interesting machine since it runs off gas and diesel. As you can see in the pics the engine is gas on one side and diesel on the other, you start it on gas and then flip a big lever and it switches to diesel.

Yup, that's a 400 Diesel. The gas start diesels made by IH were awesome.

That reminds me of an air compressor we used for operating a jack hammer when I was in high school back in the mid 60's. We were excavating under the seminary school building to add more room in the lower levels.
Started on gas, warm it for a few minutes. Flip a lever and it ran on diesel. A really serious piece of equipment. Brings back fond memories. |

My grandmother had an ID-6, roughly same engine but in an industrial/wheatland style machine. It was traded for a utility style machine when I was 2. I've heard tons of stories about it over the years, evidently it was one tough machine. Better ask an old timer, but I think you are supposed to switch back to gas before shut down, for easier starting---I know that was the rule on the older kerosene machines. I bet George or Zippy would know.

I don't think we did on that compressor. But that was over 50 years ago. I seem to remember having to prime the gas carb before firing it up. Too long ago. Those brains cells have been recycled many many times since then.
A little dig at George and Todd won't win you any "most popular" votes. Nor mine. HOORAH for senior citizens. |

An M 18 will run on diesel fuel. Don't ask how I know.

We had an IH TD -18A dozer from the early 50's on the farm up til 7-8 years ago. Similar set up. Start on gas, let it warm up. Pushed a t-handle lever on the dash to kick it over to diesel. When done with task, pull the t-handel to switch back to gas for a minute or two then turn off the gas petcock to drain the carb for shut down. Gas tank only held a gallon or so. Turn the key off. Clean the tracks and your job was done.
I was never around a Farmall gas/diesel tractor. But I can't imagine those being much different though.

They aren't. Same type of engine. In 'gas' mode there is a butterfly inside that opens the carb so it can start. (no throttle on the carb, just a choke.) Let it warm up for about 5 min and then move the conversion lever the correct way; that shuts the butterfly to the carb, grounds out the distributor and then starts the diesel pump. To shut the engine off one can either change it back to gas and shut off like a gas engine, or just shut the diesel off and that will stop the engine too.

How is that a DIG at them??? They are older farm guys that happen to hang around here and play with lawnmowers. Both have real life experience with older farm equipment--as in using it. Haven't you ever seen Georges photo? That tractor is 40+ years old. Not many folks have ever heard of those engines, fewer still have ever played with one of those antiques, and even fewer have real experience using one. I can't see where referencing a piano tuner or pharmacist would have been really relative to the machine in question. I really don't care about any popular votes, sure as heck not yours.

So to those that have dealt with these engines...What was the point/reason for the dual fuel? Was it that the electronics of the era weren't powerful enough to crank/start the higher compression diesel engines?

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.
