Had the tractor not overheated and started having trouble then it would not be unreasonable for it to handle that type of mowing with the 10 ft. But you would have to keep an eye on it for sure. Also it wouldn’t be to terrible hard to add the turbo to that engine and pick up 7 or so more HP. But...

I would suggest sticking with TYM for the gasket and make sure they have your serial number. Some of the gaskets will look similar and would probably work if you carefully inspect the journal cutouts. They were a little different spots depending on models and you don’t want to block one with the...

The first thing to determine is why it overheated in the first place. I suspect the radiator fins need to be cleaned. Do you blow it out ever with compressed air? To determine if the head gasket or head is damaged you could do a combustion chamber leak test. Go to O’Reilly Auto Parts or...

Might try this process posted in another thread.

Have you tried both speeds? Is this tractor new to you? I have never broke the shaft on mine but I did replace the rear seal so I have had the shaft out.

Finding one is going to be difficult and expensive. I have one on my Beaver but was lucky it had the reverser when I bought it. I don’t use the tractor anymore but had plans of restoring it one day. It’s been sitting for about 7 years because the sector shaft out of the steering box broke. It...

This is a very challenging situation and I would imagine the most challenging part is the family members. How involved are they in this situation? How has the maintenance of this property been handled to date? I don’t believe there is one single piece of equipment that can properly maintain...

It probably would be better to start a new thread with your question so that in the future people with similar issues might find it beneficial. That said, for some reason your A remote is not in the neutral position when the lever is in the neutral position. At least that’s what it sounds...

Is it two separate filter housings, one for each circuit? Also is the pump a tandem pump, one for each circuit? Being that there is a problem with both circuits, one would want to look at any shared components. In this case it may be two separate issues. For the wings, swapping the relief...

I would think there should be filters somewhere around or on the tank. Have you ever changed them? There also should be a manifold for each motor that would have pressure relief valves. Those might be the problem. Might have to rig up a pressure gauge on a long enough hose so you can see...

The 4020 is probably the best tractor JD ever made and could be the best overall. I would not be replacing that tractor.

This debate never gets old. 😂 I am in the gear camp. I never have found myself changing gears a lot or wishing for more gear options. But one time I was out of town working a lot and knew when I got home the grass would be 2ft tall. But as I pulled into the driveway everything was mowed...

You could remove the left lift arm side link and drill another hole about an inch above the bottom hole. Then use this new hole when you reinstall. Then adjust the right lift arm to even things out again. That should give you plenty of lift. Like this arm that was on my Kioti.

On my ditch bank mower, I don’t use my top link to set the height. I have found I have a better cut by using the lift arms to level the mower and adjust my lever stop to that point and tighten it down. Then I adjust my top link to the mid point in the slot so the mower can follow the curvature...

I get the frustration of a lights being on and lack of support from the dealer or manufacturer. That said, have you tried to diagnose it yourself? Maybe we could help you with that and get the lights off. Another question would be what all will trigger the MIL light to eliminate? I suspect...
