Lead in gas affects Madison tractors this planting season
Farmers should not face problems from current low lead gas in certain model tractors this spring or fall, says Jim Porterfield of the American Farm Bureau Federation. EPA standards could raise compression and valve-seat issues after 1988, with lead reductions phased in from 1985 to 1988 and tests planned at Niper Testing Co. in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
