Glad to see your dad is warming up to KZread and being videoed.He is a man of many talents as most farmers are. Keep up with the great videos.

I’m impressed by your mechanical abilities, you don’t seem to be afraid to tackle any repair project. Thanks for the videos, yours is the most informative farming channel, technical, agronomist and engineering expertise and consistent. Deserves a lot more subscriptions.

We love seeing your dad in the videos...

Lovely to hear from your dad he's sounds a great guy and that 4020 is amazing thanks for posting

I love 4020s.i have one too it was my dad's tractor ill never sell it love driving it around

Great to see your Dad in the videos. I'm sure he has some very interesting stories about farming.

Great video. It's amazing how you can work on everything and figure it out. Good to see your Dad being creative and 'engineering in the go'. Lol. Y'all take care & be safe in the storm.

Great video on 4020 work and your Dad's lumber steamer. Looking forward to seeing the test! And YES your Dad is a great addition to the show.

Just got line power & internet back, it’s a great day. Love my old 4020 Good to see your dad get involved

Great video!!! We get to see dad working on something with what's laying around the farm. It must be cold there, your wearing something other than your checkered shirt in the shop. lol

Hi Nathan its nice to see Dad i reckon he's starting to get used to the video's, just a little.

Dad's becoming a real youtuber.

Thanks for the great video. You are my number one to watch each day. Keep it green.

Good job and always good to see your dad working together even though it’s his project.

Your Dad is good on camera, great smile, great voice and descriptions, love the steam box lumber bending tool fab. Old lost art, ship building and fancy furniture. Wore 2 inches off my butt as a kid operating 4020s, 1010s, 440s, JD As and Bs, 350 and 750 crawlers, etc. Too much leverage on your cast iron hydraulic valve assembly with the bouncing hoses extending out. Fab a 1/4" steel strap to go under the valve assembly that goes back up to the mount bolts. Welding, valve body in vise. Clamps to hold pieces together. Weld solid through the holes and redrill, cobalt drill. Reduces heat suck out. SLOW cooling.

Yes you did good with the cast welding

Good video learning something new every day. Thanks

Good to see your Dad in the video.

I can see a “Dad Cam” coming soon. Still best farming youtube channel. Thanks for the vids

Need to have more of your dad he has soooooo much knowledge and stories to let all to hear🌽🚜🇺🇲

On Farm Fixing & Fabrication they have a 4020 tore apart and replaced the steering mechanism. You can see the tractor down to the bones. Thank you for your channel.

That how we weld cast as long as you had a good bevel on both sides and good fill preheat look good nice job!!!

Two of the best tractors made the 4020 and 4440

Maybe your Dad could patent his design when done. Pretty interesting

LOL Ok Nathan I put stuff together this weekend and sent you info b4 I watched today's VIDEO. I'm a Day Late and a Dollar short. 👍

GOOD MORNING Nathan!!!!!!!! :)

Well your dad is so much like my dad build what you have laying around. My dad been gone about 28 years now so it's good to see your dad still gone and I can learn from him I never did learn how to well cast iron so your doing a good job teaching me what temperature did you have your welder set on thank you.

Your Dad seems pretty cool!

Wow, good job on that cast.

one important thing about cast is weld in short spurts like inch sections at a time and after each section peen the living shit out of the weld to stress relieve it to prevent further cracking!!

You need to come get your snow. It's drunk and destroying things here in Houston Texas.

We had -5 here in StL this morning. Got 5 or 6 inches of snow too. Crazy weather for this place. Hope you guys missed it.

Nathan, don’t know if you’re familiar with the channel, “Farming, Fixing and Fabricating” but they are in the process of tearing down a 4020 right now and they just pulled the steering assembly apart. They may have some helpful suggestions for you. Really good guy, Andy Hourigan. Dairy farmer.

Would have been nice to see what you had to do to prep for hood removal. Trying to search it on YT and your video was the only remotely close one, but showed me nothing about the prep work. Any other vids that do show it?

Good to see ur dad again and the box it'll work yup working on them old girls no computer and bull shit like the new ones straight forward

It's really cool to start seeing your Dad on the channel. I think he and I would get along pretty well because I build and engineer things that I want. Also Farming, Fixing and Fabricating on KZread is rebuilding a 4020 at this time, they put in the "New Style" steering valve.

New Generation were designed in SAE, however they were designed for easy conversion to metric.

Could you please show how to install the other second valve block and the steel lines also the left hand sirvo.

😊

don’t know about preheating cast iron before welding or slow cool down thanks

Likely was a prototype mechanic that took a hole saw to the shifter mechanism when they were testing various steering valves... And tell Pop to put a few pieces of small pipe across the tube where the water is... Making a small "fire tube" boiler.. it increases the surface area for the flame to heat the water...

I wonder if there is an additive that you could put in the hydraulic oil to fix that sticking valve in the steering. We had a 4010 that did the same thing, it was the steering valve and John Deere said that it was from sitting

Wouldn't that make a great reality show? Make things with what you have without buying anything.

Check out this link on the steering valve conversion

You need to log on to Farming Fixing and Fabricating, they are currently working on a JD with the same steering problem.

What does your dad think about buying a cheap steam generator? I have no idea but they seem cheap on eBay 9KW Sauna Steam Generator

We got 8 inches of snow with 3 foot drifts in South Bend

I'm working on taking the column off my 4010 because of 2 issues. One it only will turn one way and not the other very good. And I broke that pin like you did. I had a guy tell me to take it off the first break he said so it's up father then where you took apart. I have everything off but one bolt in the middle on the right side. I'm starting to wonder if it's easier to take it all the way out like you did?

I must've missed it before if you said it. What was the issue with the steering in the first place?

Mine creeps to the left as it is driven so I'm constantly adjusting to the right. After a few minutes it will apply full right turn. In road gear it makes for skid marks on the road and my shorts every time it happens. My JD mechanic (50 years experience) told me the problem is a weak spring or leaking valve in the steering motor under the fuel tank. Is this problem similar to yours and did the pump replacement cure the problem?

Farming, fixing, & fabricating is rebuilding a 4020. In recent video they replaced the entire power steering column assembly. Typical JD, they changed component specs during serial # production run, You might benefit from a phone call? Just FYI

Take that valve to a welding shop Do it right

I wish you had diagnois the valve or motor, all you have to do is undo the 2 steering lines at the front of tractor by the fuel tank and cap them on the valve end . start the tractor and turn the steering wheel right and hold then left and hold. if it holds the problem is in the motor

First thing I did was look at the manifold and see how easy it would be to put a turbo charger on this tractor if you needed 30 or 40 more hp and about a 40% reduction in fuel consumption. Only one item would be needed inside the engine that is probably off the shelf. That is piston oil spray coolers. The pistons would overheat without spraying them down with 20 30 lbs boost on the inlet manifold. Not sure your farm needs a 4020 with 40 more hp, but everyone likes 40% less fuel use per day. This addition would come with one major caveat-----that is NEVER EVER LUGG A BLOWN ENGINE AT LOW RPM PULLING HEAVY. One must always have the rpm up under heavy load or it will bend a rod or low a head gasket. Same on airplanes. Never give full pitch to the prop when rpm is low.

17:04 ... yeaaa... you are heating up the whole TABLE THERE TOO!!! maybe it would have heated up ''easier'' if ya put it in the vise with the 'WORKING ON' PART UP in the ''air'' ???? anxiously awaiting the results... UNPAUSING.... ou yea.... is it better if WE as VIEWERS watch the whole thing thru one playthru FIRST then pause to comment???? I know someone said something about rewinding and rewatching CAN squew the result numbers or something.... ???? again stupid algerhrythim.... I AM NOT A BOT :) lol
