Father In Law has a 4020 side console LP. If it's your intention to convert it to Diesel, you pry should pass. We looked into converting it to diesel a couple years back and the cheapest engine we could find was around $3500. You'd have 12K in the tractor assuming you did all the work and you didn't find other problems. That's about fair for a 4020 Diesel console.

On the other hand, if you can stand LP, it would make a good load hauler. FIL claims his tractor is very easy on fuel on the spreader but would burn a tank fast plowing or chopping. I've driven it and hate that tank sitting way up high out front but otherwise don't mind the tractor.

Good luck whichever way you go.

Side console model or the earlier unit with the hydraulic control levers on the left side of the dash?

side console. Yes i know it's set up for pulling. the owner acually said that you can't give it too much throttle at one time or the boost pressure will go way up and you will melt the pistions. but i though about putting a diesel in it or just truning all the goodies down so it ain't so hard on the pocket book IF i get it. i don't know if i have the money.
(sigh) might have to sell a few of the beefers

A side console LP in stock form is a rare tractor. Treating it that way is mean. It will outperform a gas tractor a bit because of higher compression, especially with the turbo and running some exotic fuel. But its abuse of a rare tractor.

That's a puller.
