When I was a kid guys would tell me they were the best ever made.

Good progress so far...

Ain't nothing cheap about a cheap 4020. At some point I see you'll want to rebuild the steering valve under the dash and if the steering still turns you'll have to pull the steering gear out of the front and replace the piston o rings. These are two really fun projects. There are benefits however to buying one like yours. You have a little bit of a gamble but you can pay a little as you go and hopefully use it in the meantime. Besides, someone has to save them.

You’re right. Probably no such thing as a cheap one. But for what they want these days for the nice ones I’ll take a chance.

You are Correct about in your statement......That steering valve will give a seasoned Deere mechanic The heebie jeebies.....There are very few tractors that can do what a worn out 4020 can still do.....We got a 69 model that single handly handles a complete rebaling operation for going on 5 years.... Probably has been the power source in turning 4x5 rounds into 21 bale bundles worth approx a 1/4 of a million bucks..... GO FIGURE!!!!

Looks like it used to have a loader on it,,that's where the frame cracks

Yup. Also someone had cobbled a combine rear axle under the front. Had a rough life.

Thanks. This is old footage, the D was two summers ago already and this was this last summer. Wish it was that nice here in Wisconsin. It’s kinda fun filming stuff but I’m pretty new at it and I should’ve filmed a lot lot of what I did to this tractor. I might do a follow up.

I had no idea it was that easy to change a frame rail. Lots of new parts, good job!

@@rustyoldjunk Awesome. Thanks.That model is a fantastic tractor. Everything was still relatively easy to access and replace or repair.

That's the best tractor to put on a round baler

I’ve baled some with it. The power shift is nice for baling that’s for sure.

You are could use a steam cleaning

That’s the main reason I got it. I traded a nicer 4020 synchro range for it.

Well done Mike! This big guy is not easy to repair, maybe you need some proper tools. Can you leave your email address, we would like to get in touch with you, thank you ; )
