I have never worked on a tractor setup but have on trucks. The liquid propane goes into a converter that is heated by the coolant. When propane goes from liquid to vapor it absorbes heat and will freeze anything around it if not heated by the engines coolant. Between the converter and the intake manifold is a large vacumm operated valve so to speak. The more the throttle is opened the more this valve is opened to let in the vaporized propane. The solenoid valve is hooked in with the ignition system so when the ignition is shut off the valve shuts off the propane. Any propane parts supplier for vehicles should be able to supply you with books on how these systems work. I have not worked on systems with fuel injection just duel fuel systems, gas or propane on older trucks. Hope this helps, if you have more questions let me know.
