We are located in northeast arkansas in rice country. I inherited a 1947 D that was converted to l.p. gas. It runs good under a load and has pulled the thresher several times at the Ark. Rice Festival. Does anyone know of any other l.p. conversions of model D's?

Thanks

Haven't seen any running around here. Just saw some once in Sells Salvage Yard in Amarillo, TX. Bought the engines off some for the high compression pistons and slip in high compression donuts. One had the blocked milled off a lot on the back side too for more compression.

jca, my dear friend traded a 60 for a 47 LP D, after we corrected the timing it run like a dream.
Sorry to say he has now traded it for a IH C with a 4-53 Detroit engine, why you ask, thats one of those $64,000 questions I guess.This has all taken place in the last 3 months.
His was a JD dealer conversion, very nicely done.
Enjoy your D,
Bob

I've seen two here around Dalhart, Texas. One was at an auction, a couple of years ago I was told it didn't run, I didn't wait around to watch it sell. It looked pretty rough. The other one I've only seen from a distance. I looked it over through a pair of binoculars. It looks like it's complete, but I know it's been sitting in the same spot for at least 7 years. I thought I knew who owned it, so I asked about it one day. He told me who actually owned it, and also said there was no chance of him selling it. That's all I know of.
