I ran across this on marketplace. Anyone know anything about the propane model of the JD 40? I have not heard of such an animal before. Or is this someone's modification?

I can't speak specifically about this JD, but...
We had a similar sized Ford of the same vintage that was propane (we converted it to gas).
The history for the Ford (and probably the JD) was they were used inside factories. Being indoors, the gas engines produced too much noxious exhaust so they ran on propane. The tricycle setup was for easier maneuverability inside the factory.
