Grandpa had one of those in his collection as wewell. I've driven it a few times. Currently still have it 1958 620 lp. Thing is awesome to drive. I agree don't see them very often

I?ve never seen a lp gas tractor except in picture books . I guess it?s the 3010 lp doesn?t have the god awful tank

The tank is what makes it look so cool

I remember durability testing a 620 propane JD in the transmission brakes there on Westfield in Waterloo in 1956.

We put hours on it equivalent to a 100,000 miles at 50mph, full load, rated RPM sequencing through all gears.

When the engine was torn down, you could see all the hone scratches in the cylinder walls yet, engine super clean because it was running on propane.

We never saw that on gas or diesels.
