My dad converted his Ford 4000 tractor back to gasoline, but it wasn’t long after that when he converted it to diesel. He also converted my grandpa’s Ford 861 back to gasoline; IIRC, the hardest part of that was plugging the hole in the carburetor where the propane jet had been. It had actually sat for at least a decade between the time my grandpa died and the time Dad un-converted it; I don’t remember it ever running on anything other than propane, so it must’ve been a good 30-40 years that it was set up to run on propane, and didn’t seem to have any issues related to that.Of course, that’s not exactly apples to apples, as the 861’s updraft carburetor is a whole lot simpler than a truck’s.</blockquote>
