I am helping someone who has 2 JD 730 LP tractors.
They have been sitting over 2 yrs. Now he wants
me to help get them running. 1) What is the correct starting procedure? 2) There is a vapor and liquid valve, do you start on one and run on the other? 3) Does the pressure regulator have coolant connected to it?

Start it on vapor, give it a couple of minutes to warm up a little bit then switch to liquid by opening the liquid valve then closing the vapor valve.

There's a water line running to the regulator to keep it warm so it won't freeze. That's why you have to start it on vapor, so it won't freeze. If the water line gets clogged up, sometimes the regulator will freeze and it runs out of fuel.

We had a 730 LP when I was a kid, it's a great machine. I've just got a 50LP now but it's not near the tractor the 730 is.

We always started them on liquid during the summer. The only time we used the vapor was starting on cold mornings.

Yeah, I'm in East TX so we rarely used the vapor side but considering the time of year and since I didn't know where he was I figured I'd give the whole story. You can usually get by without using the vapor side but if it freezes it might take a while to thaw out since now you can't get any hot water to it.

Experiment when you're not in a hurry, if it's not cold outside it will work ok with just the liquid.
