Here in Texas 50's-60's almost all tractor were LP. Also farmer had their pickup and trucks on LP. I used it on my trucks until middle 80's. Most Propane company's would supply you the add equipment(if your tractor wasn't factory) at no cost just to be able to sell you gas. Also supply you with nurse tank which was just a house tank on a trailer. I still have one LP tractor and use a wet line on my house tank to fill. Also I'm able to fill grill tanks from this tank. I even use LP on my cutting torch since the 60's.Your engine ran very clean with no carbon which made the engine last very long. Oil stay almost clear when you did change it. You did lose very little HP on LP. Really you didn't notice it. Diesel tractors began to get popular early 60's here. Propane was a by product of gasoline and refinery's gave the LP gas free just to get rid of it. This is why you could buy it for .10 cent. Texas Hwy Dept. used it on state pickup's until just a few years ago. When trucks began to have a lot of computer's on the truck they stopped using it. You had to add a computer to tell the other factory computer it was getting gasoline so it would run. Had a lot of problems. A lot of bigger city's still use natural gas on there vehicle in Texas. You can buy it set up from factory. It's a lot like LP.
