About 50 years ago, lot of tractors were converted to propane around here. Few worked out well, most were a pain. Exhaust systems eroded away, valves burned, pistons scored, overheating, hard starting.
Even the few factory propane IH trucks were a pain, same thing, exhaust systems falling off, valves burning, pistons scoring.
The thing I noticed was the engines lugged very well and then of course that is what happened. Always a bragging point, they lug so good so, well, I lug it. Especially on the trucks with just anybody driving them. Not pro truck drivers. No spitting and sputtering once you got them running which was kind of nice. Refueling was always a problem.
I actually was one who thought propane was a good idea when it first started out but soon changed my mind.
