Sorry, not sure where my mind is. Getting older and can't remember anything. The first thing to do is add diesel fuel to the LP Gas. Make sure you are not around any fires or something that will ignite the LP Gas. Drain your LP filler hose. Hold it out straight from the tank. If you let it drop in a "U" from the tank to where you are holding it, all the LP will not drain out as it will vaporize to fast and "freeze off". When you pour the diesel in the hose, the LP will thaw, create pressure and blow the diesel out. MAKE sure the hose is empty. Pour the LP hose full of diesel fuel. A 15 ft. hose holds about 1 quart. Connect the filler hose to the tractor and fill the LP tank. The LP will push the diesel into the tractor tank. Run the tractor on VAPOR. DO NOT run the tractor on "liquid". Diesel fuel is heavier than LP Gas and will lie on the bottom of the LP tank. Running on liquid will allow the diesel fuel will go to the vaporizer and plug it. Diesel will cut out the oily gum in the vaporizer caused by the "refining" process when the vaporizer breaks the LP Gas from high pressure to low pressure. Some people use Marvel Mystery Oil to do this. This may solve your problems by cleaning out the vaporizer. It is the "Lazy Mans" way of fixing it. This does not work every time, but is worth a try.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
