So, how's the market for 730LP's? I have two and was thinking of thinning the herd a little to free up some capital. Both have wide front, 3pt, and (decent) aftermarket fenders. I don't have any current pics, but they are mechanically sound, but not all dolled up. I was thinking of offering one up for sale, but don't wanna give it away... If I get chance, I'll update the post with some pictures. I have a number in my head, but we'll see if it appears in any responses.
Thanks,
Adrian

I have seen men that I thought were logical sensible people suddenly become terrified by the thoughts of having a LP tractor in their shed .

I'm in northern Illinois. Near Chicago. The best thing about an LP tractor is that you can let it sit for a year and start it right up. The fuel never goes bad. Unlike modern gas... We've never had a fuel leak with these. We got these from a sale in Nebraska years ago. They were sitting out in the weeds. One still had 20% fuel. We threw in a tune up kit and it fired right up on that old fuel. When we were fixing these up, we rebuilt the tank valves and converters. So, yeah, I don't see how anyone can be afraid of the fuel source. How many thousands of LP forklifts are in warehouses working today?
I won't get home until Tuesday to take pics, then I'll try posting them here and in the for sale adds.
 
My dad had a JD dealership back in the 50's until the 80's , but in the early years he had a guy working for him made sure every night that any LP gas tractors were pushed outside never left inside overnight never.
 
I have several lp tractors and have the carports to park them under never store in an enclosed building. Just because they don't leak things can happen not likely but can. last summer I heard what I thought was a tire going flat, went to see what it was and a hose on one of my lp tractors had developed a hole in it under the dash. If it had been in a building could have caused some damage. But for my own use I do like lp. Best tractors for me. Also not many people left to work on them and a lot of people don't know how lp works.
 
It says right in the owners manual on a 430 lp i had not to store the tractor inside.
