JW I am like some of the others that have already weighed in. I think the LP's make a really neat looking tractor. If you check the nebraska tests you will find that the LP version of a tractor will usually be the highest HP version for that model(slightly). Parts for the carburation system are tough to get but usually the only thing that goes bad is a diaphragm. Everything else is gaskets and these can be made. The one thing about taking one of these to shows is to make sure your tank is full as adding with a can is not real easy. You can do this with one of the old style grill tanks and a hose with the right fittings. You need one of the old tanks without the OPD style valve so you can get liquid fuel out. You will need to be able to fill the cylinders your self because the gas companys wont fill a small tank with the old style valve. I used to carry all this equipment with me to shows until the meth thing became a problem in my area (NW IA). The equipment to put the LP from the 20lb cylinder to the tractor could also be used to put Anhydrous Ammonia from a nurse tank to the 20 lb cylinder. For this reason I just make sure the tractor has enough fuel and don't carry this equipment. HTH JT
