Kent, While propane does have it's advantages, it also has it's disadvantages. I am not running a combine or other farm implement for trade. I am a hobbyist, doing this for fun. The tug does not have a propane tank mount. Someone bolted a piece of plywood to the top of the engine cover. There were a few nails bent over which I believe was the means of holding the tank to the plywood. The greatest problem I have with propane is that, per your suggested equipment list, I would have to buy (or rent) two propane tanks, build a proper bracket for the tank, plus replace all the hoses and have the prpessure regulator and propane carburetor rebuilt. Any volunteers for financial backing on this?
A gas carb I can rebuild myself, and gas hose is under $1.00 a foot. Sometimes I have a reason for doing things the way that I do.
To all, including Kent, sorry for the tone of this message, but I need/want a gasoline carburetor for a reason, not a whim.

Name: Kent R Phone: 417- Location: Message: About the LP system on your Clark tow tractor. I would almost bet it is set-up for fork lift tanks. These tanks have a gauge and if you had a spare running out would be unlikely. One tank with no larger a engine than the little Continental is would last a long day towing planes. What I am trying to say is not to dismiss LP out of hand. Dad was this way when he had the chance to buy two LP fueled combind. This was before I had mine. Since I have had mine for 10 years, he now wishes he had bought them. Hind site is always 20-20. Kent -------------------------------------------------

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
