Why would you want to convert it to gas?
 There are a few people like me that still want those tractors, why not just buy a gas one to start with? And let someone that wants an LP gas tractor own an origional.  the answer is yes... but you have to buy carb, hood panels, center strip and fuel tank and a few other misc. items.

Aside from the complication of refueling it, LP is just about the cleanest fuel you can run an engine on. They do have some collector value, so I'm with JC on this. Sell your LP tractor and buy an original gas burner.

Sounds like you are considering using an LP engine as a replacement? Should be as simple as changing to a standard gas manifold with a carb and throttle linkages.
 
Otherwise, I kinda agree I wouldn't convert a factory LP tractor if I could work a trade for a gas. That said, I wouldn't have an LP tractor myself and I can understand if you wouldn't either.

If you do convert it drop me a line I would be interested in purchasing the LP parts.
