converting a 3cyl gas to lpgas

Can be pretty complicated job to fit tank ,electric fuel shutoff, regulator with water coolant connections, carburetor ,and any starting controls. Fuel is cheap and easy to refuel off any propane storage tank. Used a 770 Oliver LP for 30 years mixing dairy cow rations with less fumes inside barns.
 
Not really, even if you can source the parts.

NG and LP engines usually have a higher CR.

Though you can make it run, it will be down on HP.

There are separate listings in the I&T manual since the regulator and all has to be addressed. On functionality, I had ONE LP tractor in 40 years of trying to learn how to farm,, my first JD, a 4020 with about 5k hrs...................................I tried to find a carburetor and manifold hookup to fit it...........................

The parts site shows the same crankshaft, pistons and head for gasoline and L.P.G engines. What would cause a higher compression ratio on the LP engines vs. the gassers?
