Was using the tractor to mow and put it away. Went to get it 2 days later and only cranks. Have spark at the plugs. Tank is at 40% full. Have propane going into vaporizer, but even removing the diaphragms on the regulator I can feel or hear anything. I'm really at a loss and my father in law who owns (78 years old and can't help) it can't understand why I can't get it going. His dad bought it new so it's not getting replaced anytime soon. I've cleaned and set points and checked everything electrical. Can't find much information on this tractor and not sure if I can even get parts. Anyone have any ideas? Never had to deal with a propane tractor since we only have diesel for field work.

Anyone with any advice?

I just know enough about propane engines to make me dangerous. I'm not even sure how an LP regulator or vaporizer is plumbed on that unit.

If you have fuel going into the vaporizer, find out if you've got fuel leaving it and going to the intake manifold. If you've got good spark, given your scenario, you likely have fueling problems which means faulty vaporizer, regulator or line/filterplugged somewhere.

I don't know a thing about propane tractors, sorry.
There are some guys on [b:ecb2834814]YT's Tractor Talk[/b:ecb2834814] forum that use them regularly.
Maybe if you post the question there someone could help.
