T_Bone -

I believe the Farmall M was the smallest factory-equipped for LP. Don't know whether the stationary variant of this engine (the U6 and U264) was factory built for LP, but it's likely it was.

However Minneapolis-Moline probably sold the most LP tractors and stationary engines. My experience with LP burners has been with MM tractors and it has been 100% favorable. They start and run great. And properly maintained the LP engines FAR outlast their gasoline-fueled cousins.

Another possibility: Use an LP forklift engine. Most were made by Continental. Like the MM LP engines they seem to last forever.

Most common is the F135(?) 4 cylinder flathead. I believe it's is rated around 25 - 30 HP. Bigger forklifts used the F227 flathead 6, a wonderfully smooth-running and bulletproof engine. Ask around at your local forklift supplier - shouldn't be too difficult to find a used Continental LP engine in good shape. ...Bob M
