Can someone please explain to me or give me a good place to find out how an lp (propane? butane?) tractor or any engine for that matter works. I am currently attending a vo-tech school so I totally understand how everything on a diesel and gasoline engine works but as for as the theory of opperation of the vaporiser and other parts I am clueless. I will be working either at the local case/kubota dealership or the local john deere dealership so I will need to understand this stuff. Thanks for the help!!!!

Do you have a local propane equipment dealer? That is where I would start as he should have manuals that explain in detail how the systems work. Basically, the propane is liquid in the hose from the tank to the vaporizer. The hot water from the engine heats the vaperizor. There is a spring, diaphram, seat and lever that that control the liquid when it turns from liquid to vapor. This vapor then goes through a slide valve that is controled by engine vacuum which acts as a throttle, letting in the proper amount for various throttle positions. This is how a dual system, gas or propane, works. A dealer who converts cars to propane can give you up to date details. Good luck.
