year

I read that #1 diesel has less power and less lubrication than #2. I use my 1705 mainly in the winter for snowblowing. It's always a guessing game to figure what ratio I have at the end of summer. Only using #1 all year would make things a lot easier. Anyone have any thoughts, pro or con.

My first tractor (Fordson E27n) cost me $200 cash. Brand new rear tires, but needed the main bearings re-babbited. (Mowing hills with only splash lube is a devils mix) The second tractor (Bolens HT, with a 54 inch mowing deck and snow blower) I traded for a Honda trail 90 that I had bought...

Can someone please tell me how to find out the year of my tractor? It a Branson 2810.
