I have a factory Oliver propane Super 88. To fill it, I had my supplier add a hose and a valve to my propane tank that heats my house. IIRC, the cost was about $150 to put it on. As noted, you don't change propane tanks on a tractor, just hook the hose to it and fill it. One advantage of propane for the pullers is that you could put some high compressioned pistons in your engine, as some of the manufactured did on their tractors. Decades ago, I remember a racer by the name of Ak Miller who used propane. I remember in a magazine article where he said your engine oil actually gets thicker as you drive as there is no gasoline getting into the oil to thin it down. I know of a local farmer who has a parked Ford F700 grain truck with a 429 engine in it that ran on propane. It is parked in the weeds and he no longer uses it. Years ago, I was a mechanic at a factory that had about 20 propane powered forklifts. In the winter, when they were parked outside, it was always a trick to keep the things running after a cold start. The vaporizers were heated with engine coolant and they always wanted to freeze up before the engine coolant got hot. It took five minutes of babying the things, but once the coolant got warm enough, the frozen vaporizer would quickly melt and it was good to run after that.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
