The gasser is gettin' tired the way it sounds. Probably not really an option to just leave it. It's either rebuild, repower, or sell the tractor for scrap value because it's slightly more than worthless with a tired gas engine.

It's expensive and a royal PITA to convert to diesel, but if you get the engine for a reasonable price, and you use the tractor enough, it'll pay for itself:

The first year after we put the D360 in the 756, gas usage went down by 900 gallons and diesel usage only went up by 300 gallons. We got the engine CHEAP, and the mechanic who did the conversion took the piston-slapping C291 gasser and any other leftover parts in trade for his labor (we think he enjoyed the challenge more than anything), so Dad only had pay for the engine and parts. It's been a few years now, and with fuel prices the way they are... That engine made a tractor out of the 756, and has more than paid for itself.
