The Farmall MD was the IH's earlier diesel version with one side of the engine gas, and the other side diesel. This video explains the procedure for starting the engine and switching over from the gas side to the diesel side: After reading the posts above and watching the video my dad's tractor was clearly an MD-TA. The video described the starting action exactly how I remembered it. Just disappointed the video didn't show the tractor starting. When you pulled / pushed the 2 levers and the diesel roared to life...it was a thing to behold! Timing of the levers had to be exact. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
