Hello Pat and Glen,

Don't know what I would do without ya' looking out for me. JD house said that the diaphram's are not available anymore. Propane company said they would try to get them for me. As for the oil in convertor, that is standard. Propane has oil put in it so that it will have a "smell". I did get the manual ordered from JD covering the LP systems.

Thanks again,
Don

Yep some oil to keep moisture out too. You'll find those little black BB balls like nasty black rubber in the strainer filter too and worse when moisture gets in it. For kits... Nick Barberri ? spelling ? did have kits and valves and other parts for LP and advertises in Green Magazine and Two Cylinder. LP dealer should be able to get it for you too.

Hello Glen,

My propane dealer sent me to another larger dealer, who said no, then sent me to another dealer in Dallas, who said no, but suggested another dealer. Not having any luck finding parts or a rebuild kit for the Century M-4 converter. Everyone wants to sell me a Century M-6 converter. Would like to stay orginal, but not looking good so far. Sent a request to Nick Barbieri as you sugested. Found his e-mail address in Green Magizine as you said.

Thanks for the advice,
Don

I had heard some of the Century kits were getting hard to find and haven't had to get one in a while. Here we go with RW Supply and here is their link too.

bassndeere -- Something that may be of interest to you is found over at the JD-H Restoration Site. Once there, one-click on T-S LP-GAS TRACTORS for FSB 210 dated December 1953 with a host of trouble-shooting tips for LP-Gas Tractors. There are so many different entries that perhaps some will lead you in a right direction. Enjoy!

You aren't running it without the oil cup on air cleaner or have water in the oil in air cleaner ? Or antifreeze water got in it? The I&T shop manual or the JD SM2015 LP Equipment service manual will help and kit should have instructions also. You need to check the settings on secondary and loading levers in converter.
