Harry, please think about keeping the LP intact. I've got a 1956 400 factory LP I bought from the original owner with the original order sheet from International. This old girl will out work my gas 400 day in and day out. The LP has never had the motor opened up, per the 90 year old gentleman I purchased her from and my 400 gas has been updated with a M&W kit. I purchased a 500 gallon propane tank from our local supplier and a manual propane pump from KRUG manufacturing to fill this with. Propane costs less in the summer months than in the cold season, around 80 to 90 cents delivered in Northern Indiana. One more fact to consider if your heart is content to change this over to gas (Please Don't these are rare birds these days), you need to consider removing the cylinder head and having the exhaust valve updated with rotator spring cup since propane has little or no hydrocarbons in the fuel and do not get carbon build up the exhaust valve area. Gas motors tend to carbon up over time in this area and have the rotators on exhaust valve springs. If you want to buy a different tractor and think about selling her let me know what you'll take for her. Any pictures of this old girl?
