I'm about to go take a look at a 70LP wide front, and wondered if anyone knew the horsepower on these things, ball park anyway since I don't have a serial number. Also, any advice on LP tractors? I've never had one, so not sure what to expect. Thanks for any info.

My Two Cylinder Magazine shows 51.97 H.P. at the belt pulley.7.3 to 1 compression ratio versus 6.16 for the gas model & 4.6 to 1 for the all fuel tractor.This comes from the January-February 2000 magazine.The gas model produced 50.35 H.P & the diesel produced 51.49.Al

The 70 jd has about 50 pto horse power,my book doesnt list the lp seperate but i think jd put in different pistons in the lp to compensate for less power in the fuel than gasoline.personally i like the lp over gas,but then i use lp for both pumping water and household so i have a large nurse tank.the lp will start easier cold and should be less expensive to operate at least they are here,but our lp is usually around 62 cents a gal.

The LP tractors run an lot cleaner too (ie not so much carbon in combustion chamber as gas or diesel). Pay close attention to the converter that runs into the carb. These can give trouble (blown seals and such).

Thanks everyone! 50 hp is perfect for what I was looking for, and I'll check out the things you mentioned as well. =)
