Hello
why dont you just go looking for an un running GB gas, and then sell the propane one to me, then we could both have the tractors we are looking for.
We have one, and a friend just bought one, and i thought we could use another one, we just love those big ole propanes, there really a well built tractor

One thing you will have to look out for is the lp heads on it. It is going to knock because of the gas will not be high enough octane for those heads to keep it from doing it. The intake and exhaust manifolds will be o.k.. I am running those on my GTB right now. How ever in the cold months it is a little cold natured. As far as power is concerned you may loose a little but I doubt that you would notice it.

I was not a big fan of LP tractors until I got a GTB LP gas tractor. I would not trade it for a gasoline tractor. Why don't you get it running on LP first & see how you like it? They run nicer and oil stays clean and they start good.
