Isn't that part of the multi-fuel thing the Military does... Don't know but just throwing a guess out on the table. Someone either confirm or shoot me down on that one...

The old Farmall MD's had a carburetor and distributor on one side and an injection pump on the other side of the engine. They would start on gas and then switch over to diesel fuel.

They would sound like they were coming apart when you switched over, it use to scar me but never had one blow during the tranaction. It was a lot harder on a engine than starting fluid.

Nice, I have my Grandpas 1950 H Farmall that he bought brand new. I'm fixing to install a head and cam from a 350 Farmall and a carb from an M to get a little more power for the antique pulls. Next comes the Super H cylinder sleeves and firecrater pistons.

Awesome! Right after I scan this site in the morning, I head over to YTMAG.com and check the red posts
Folks into cool old stuff are few and far between around here, so I've gotta get my fix on the web.
My tractor's mechanically original with some odd sheetmetal on the front. It's a 113CI that will get 123CI sleeves and pistons later this summer when I freshen it up. Folks can't figure why I want to mow my lawn with a 55 year old piece of equipment...I can't figure out why they want to make monthly payments on a gargen tractor that weighs 450 pounds??

Guilty! 
After clearing the driveway (about .2 mile long) for a bunch of years with a 1955 MF TO35, and more importantly waiting like a minute (generally in sub zero wind chill) for the dang back blade to go up we had enough, John Deere 4400, 35hp diesel, 4wd with front loader, and a fast PTO pickup. The old Fergi was a great tractor, but was just to dang slow and even with those meaty tires it got stuck in a whim going through big snow piles. The new one doesn't mind turning the 6' tiller nearly as much as the old Fergi somehow managed to.
Propane must be all about emissions because I can't see how it is cost effective, so little btu/gal but yet the price is still up there. Maybe they should invest in B100 instead.
