Hi everyone. Just this morning I bought a 1964 propane Jetstar 3, I don't know anything about them and stumbled on this website. I've ran old farmalls, fords, john deeres, and newer import tractors, but this is my first experience with a MM and first experience with an LP tractor.
I'm curious what the proper procedure is for switching from running vapor to liquid; how long I let it warm up first, and if I do it running or shut it off first.
I also need to find out what kind of engine oil and hydraulic fluid I should be running, as I'd like to change all the fluids & filters before I work it much. My first guesses would be 15w40 and plain old tractor hydraulic fluid, but the fluid in it now is red. I will attempt to attach a picture of it and continue to browse this forum for more info.
