MMJL said: (quoted from post at 04:44:49 10/28/08) Can you turn a propane tractor in to a gas tractor and if so how much trouble is it to do?

Differences in a propane fueled tractor may some or many of the following things.
Fuel system from the tank mounts, tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, carburetor. Intake and exhaust manifolds may be different. Governor linkage.
Cylinder head may have higher compression. Valve rotators may be removed or made inoperative. Valve angle and seat width may be different.
Pistons may be higher compression. Piston rings may be plain cast iron rather than chrome plated.

Starter may be heavier for a propane engine if the compression was increased.
