LP regulator

pipewizard · Jun 11, 2012

I have a 1959 Massey Ferguson mf65 propane tractor. The
diaphragms on the regulator no longer function correctly. I was
wondering if anyone has replaced the old regulator with a
modern one. If so, where did you get it? What modifications
were required? What was the cost? Are you happy with your
results??

Thanks in advance,

Larry

One of Case 930's was converted to an Impco reg and carb before we bought it. You can find info on them here: http://www.impcoautomotive.com/index.php?pagename=home

The regulator on our 930 is not quite big enough, a cool fall day the line from the reg to the carb will get some liquid and frost under full load. If you plan on using it hard try to get a regulator thats "Horsepower" rated at least 50% over what the tractor actually makes. You may need to replace the Ensign carb, maybe not, have to ask them. Have you considered trying to find material to cut diaphrams and rebuild yours? IIRC the Masseys use an Ensign model W right?

I changed to a newer system on my Massey 65. I got my parts from a forklift shop but now I work for a propane supplier and know that they can get everything you need if they are willing. If you would like you could send me an e-mail and I could send some pictures of how it turned out.

Good luck

if you have an ensign carb you can replace the regulator with a Beam 120. the beam has the adjustment screw for the idle mixture that is needed for ensign carbs. you will need to make a mounting bracket, but it is simple to do. your lp dealer should be able to get you one. the performance will be better.
