I found a dc3 lp a few weeks ago. The guy said he would sell it to me, but he wanted me to make him an offer. I like original lp tractors. The serial number is 5512906 I think, but I am not 100% sure. Is it possible to know if this tractor was a factory lp? The tractor runs good, but it would need tires.

If it is a factory lp, does anyone have any idea how many were made? Also, what kind of price should I offer him. Any info would be appreciated.

If it has a 6128 head that is a good start. Contacting Rich Tworek to look up the build card is the only sure way of knowing. (the build card will probably say butane equipment) Case offered a kit to convert D and L series tractors over to LP and it was exactly the same equipment as factory. However, many farmers chose not to spend the extra money for the higher compression 6128 head and only got the basic equipment. Case offered an LP option beginning in 1951 so your tractor may or may not be original.

If it's original it should have the higher compression LP head. Not sure what the LP casting number is, but someone on this web site should be able to tell you. A photo of the tractor would help. The LP head is probably worth as much as the rest of the tractor.

Thanks for all the info. You are right I need to check the casting number on the head. Does anyone know where on the head the casting number should be. I am not very familiar with case tractors. The serial number of the tractor is 5512906. Can anyone tell me if this is an original lp by that number. If it was I was going to buy the tractor.

Rich Tworek at Case New Holland should have a "build card" for that tractor. It might list the fuel type? ([email protected] or 262-636-7274).

Hard to say what to offer without seeing the tractor and where it's located at. Tires are expensive, look it over good, good radiator, are gauges original or all say case. Check exhaust manifold for burn out or cracks, Do the vaves or any part of LP system leak. Here LP aren't that popular so you could start the offer at 500.00. Feel him out, he asked you to make the offer, he may make a counter offer and maybe you could meet half way. Point out some of the big expenses you will have to put into the tractor.

That is what I am going to do. I was planning on offering him 500. I am not sure if the gauges are original or not. It has been converted to 12 volts, but the generator is not hooked up. The lights are missing. Also the brakes don't work. The muffler is not on it, but like I said, the tractor runs excellent. The lp tractors are what I look for because you dont see them everyday.
