I was given a 4020 LPG Syncro tractor today. It has been in the desert since it was sold.
It is in very good condition and has almost new rear tires.
The owner had it for sale for many years with no buyers due to bad propane leak and cost of propane.
I took the cover off of the engine and found the problem was a cross threaded T-fitting in the gas solenoid valve. An easy fix.
The tractor has not been run for eight years.
I pulled the spark plugs and squirted oil into the cylinders and turned the engine over. Every thing is free to move. No rot or other problems noted.
I re-filled the coolant.
The oil is clean buy I'd like to replace it. What filter does it take? Is the filter behind the four bolt plate on the left side,rear of the engine?
What oil do you recommend to use? it gets 100 here in the summer...-15 in the winter.
The tractor will only be used to pull a plow to maintain a dirt mountain road.
I found a Youtube vid on how to drive the tractor but not how to start it.
There are two valves going to the LPG tank. Not sure which valve does what? Left/Right
The front axle is set to max width. This will not work well on my tight dirt road which is very steep with no areas to turn around. If I close in the axle to the thinnest width will this allow me to skid steer and turn the tractor around in a smaller radius?
I have no manuals on this tractor,just some info I found on the net.
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you.
