I'm looking to buy a tractor. What does the "ratio" mean in the description of used tractors and what's best?

I speak of a tractor part of a tractor-trailer combo such as a peterbilt model 379-127 etc. Sample ratios are "4.10", "2.79", "3.55" etc.

That is the gear ratio of the rear ends. Also called the final drive ratio. It means that for every 4.10 revolutions of the driveshaft the rear wheel turns 1 revolution.

Can jet fuel be used in diesel engine semi trucks and farm tractors?

It is possible to do this, but it's not a good idea. Jet fuel – kerojet (kerosene) – has chemical properties such that it does not combust at the same temperature and pressure in a diesel engine than diesel fuel does.
It is a good deal spendier per gallonm than no. 2 diesel anyways, so why speculate?

The regulations for operating a farm vehicle in Texas can be found at the link below.

At quick glance, I do not see a particular rule dealing with driving at night. However, you should read the document carefully to make sure.

His birthday is near. Does anyone know of any off the wall websites that have tractor novelites? I found countrystorecatalog.com and got a couple things. I looked on Ebay and also googled Farmall and International Harvester. I am looking for something really different. Do you have a favorite I can check out?

Here are a few sites to try. They include T-shirts, collectables and paintings. Use the links below.
