There are a couple of fellows that are selling kits for some models of tractors. I do not know of anyone that has bought one. There was a fellow at the Half Century show displaying/selling one for JD 3020/4030s. IRC it was like $2000 or some number like that.
To me a fuel injection system, and the required electronics, make a simple tractor more complicated. So it is going the wrong way for most of the people that own older tractors. I would rather repower them with a diesel motor over paying big money for an fuel injections system.
Also it is a dwindling market too. Even the JD 4020 is not use on many farms anymore as a the main tractor. Some but not many. So the cost benefit ratio is not in favor of installing one on a parade tractor.
Will one of the OEM companies make new gas powered tractors??? Maybe in the smaller horsepower sizes. They would have all the electronics controls and emissions systems. I would not be interested just from the stand point of keeping gas fuel around. Few of the motors on the farm are gas powered. We even switched to diesel mowers a few years ago. If I could find a good 5-10 HP diesel motor for liquid pumps I would not have any gas motors left other than the antique tractors.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
