Massey conversion

LP tractors are on the uncommon side, and so often more collectable than gas tractors, so converting one from LP might be destroying a collectable, making it common, but odd. The only problem with an LP tractor is that you need a LP tank on the place with a liquid valve and tractor tank filling hose. Its not quite like filling from 5 gallon gas cans, though many LP tractors have a provision for hooking in a BBQ tank to run them from the field back to the LP tank. On the positive side, LP engines need oil changes every year or two, the bearings wear very slowly, and there's generally no sludge build up in the crankcase because there's never any liquid fuel getting into the crankcase. It does take more gallons of LP to do a job than gasoline but with off road LP runing $1.50 and off road gasoline running closer to $2 there can be some savings in fuel.
