[Farmall] Distillate Or Gas - 1947 H

[Dave Steinich]

Carl,
A couple of other things to look for:
The Distillate manifold is boxier - it has a valve to divert the exhaust 
around the intake for more heat so the fuel vaporizes better.  It's 
controlled by a lever on the rear side of the manifold and has two or 
three positions with a set screw to hold it.  There is also a heat 
shield that fits over the center portion.
The distillate head is also different and has a part number of 8776DA.  
It's cast into the head under the valve cover.
The sediment bowl under the main fuel tank also had an inlet port at a 
90 degree angle to the shutoff valve and outlet port.  The distillate 
tank plumbed into here.

Of course all of this could have been replaced/changed in the last 60+ 
years...
