I just acquired an old 1975 Behlen KA170 grain dryer i want to use to dry sunflowers with. Ill only be drying less than 1000 BU a year with it if that much. Its all electric with a propane burner. No PTO.
Im going through it trying to get it in usable condition and understand how it works. I did get a manual for it but it doesn't explain the burner operation to any extent. I'm assuming its supposed to run on liquid propane not vapor?? The propane seems to run through , first a manual shutoff,then a solenoid valve, then into the burner assembly into which I can only assume is a vaporizer. From there back out to an adjustable regulator, then a Penn Temperature control then back to the burner assembly to the nozzle.
Does this have to be hooked up to a liquid propane source or can I run it on just vapor? I really don't want a lot of heat to dry sunflowers.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
