Sorry, not sure where my mind is. Getting older
and can't remember anything. The first thing to do
is add diesel fuel to the LP Gas. Make sure you
are not around any fires or something that will
ignite the LP Gas. Drain your LP filler hose. Hold
it out straight from the tank. If you let it drop
in a "U" from the tank to where you are holding
it, all the LP will not drain out as it will
vaporize to fast and "freeze off". When you pour
the diesel in the hose, the LP will thaw, create
pressure and blow the diesel out. MAKE sure the
hose is empty. Pour the LP hose full of diesel
fuel. A 15 ft. hose holds about 1 quart. Connect
the filler hose to the tractor and fill the LP
tank. The LP will push the diesel into the tractor
tank. Run the tractor on VAPOR. DO NOT run the
tractor on "liquid". Diesel fuel is heavier than
LP Gas and will lie on the bottom of the LP tank.
Running on liquid will allow the diesel fuel will
go to the vaporizer and plug it. Diesel will cut
out the oily gum in the vaporizer caused by the
"refining" process when the vaporizer breaks the
LP Gas from high pressure to low pressure. Some
people use Marvel Mystery Oil to do this. This may
solve your problems by cleaning out the vaporizer.
It is the "Lazy Mans" way of fixing it. This does
not work every time, but is worth a try.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. 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
