Tractor came from Colorado with altitude of 7200ft and now its in North Dakota with altitude of 1200-1800 ft. Does that make a difference in the performance? If so does anyone know how to set it up?

Does the LP not work well in colder temperatures? I was told the tractor ran and started good in the winter in Colorado and I am wondering if the colder temperatures are effecting the LP system.

Does anyone have an approximate guess on what it is worth? Its a "63".

Have you tried starting it on vapor till it warms up before switching to liquid. You might have to adjust your regulator, any good LP supplier should be able to help or know. All my book states is coordination between low pressure regulator or metering regulator and carb must be perfect throughtout the entire range of engine speeds and loads. Flow characteristics of the carb and regulator must follow very closely the engine demand.
I have not run my propane in the winter put I used to have an old forklift that sat out side and I had to warm the regulator prior to it starting in the winter. Boy did I used to cuss that thing.

I don't know much about propane systems, but you should see a significant increase in power at the new, lower, altitude. If you aren't, then I would guess some adjustments may be needed.

Depending on exactly where the tractor was in Colorado, it may have been fairly cold, or not.....

That's about all I can add. Oughta be a propane expert out there who can chip in. ..

Thank you for your input. It came from Durango, CO and I got it from my uncle. The tractor ran fine all summer long and now since it got cold, its not running.

Well, Durango doesn"t get very cold compared to where you are so sounds like something needs to be adjusted. Sorry I can"t help more with the propane setup, don"t have any experience with them.

A block heater might be an easy way out and cheap.
