I ran across a CA that's on propane. Were there any CA's built at the factory that ran on propane?

I don't believe so: I was looking into that possibility (for my puller) when high octane gas became hared to find. Propane is 105 octane. All that I could fine were conversions, nothing that was Factory. That lead me to go to E85, it is also 105 octane, cheaper than race fuel and much easier to find. All it needs is carburetor re-jetting.
I've read that power units were available propane/natural gas fueled. Edited by PaulB - 21 Oct 2020 at 11:33am |

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

I've never seen pictures of a CA from the factory with propane. After market, anything is possible.

Don't know about which model tractors ran on propane or natural gas but, I do know that engines were built (dept 75) at the Harvey Engine plant that were configured to run on propane or natural gas. Also over in department 76 gasoline engines were converted over to ether propane or natural gas on commercial power units as per customer choice.
