I hear what you're saying about the 4WD. Just hard for me to justify the $10,000.00 difference. Granted, I stuck the 1020 a couple of times by getting on a down slope and trying to pick up a bucket load of wood or rock. Never stuck so bad I couldn't dump the bucket and reverse out.

I'm thinking about pulling the plug on a new 5045E, 2 wheel drive. Let me hear the good the bad, should've done, problems, wish I would've got, etc. Why would you, or would you not get one. My 66 1020 has been a trusty steed, but recently developed liner leaks in 2 cylinders. Thanks in advance.

Looks to me like a FB 11-7. Eleven drops on 7" spacing. You can go to https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/68663/referrer/navigation/pgId/15745 for parts breakdown. Some parts are still available. Hope this helps.

I'd recommend using plenty of lube/coolant, don't force the bit, and drill the correct size. If you drill the hole oversize for the pin, it allows the pin to move around, eventually egging out the hole. Most top link pins have a shoulder to stop the pin from going all the way through the hole...

25". With the lower pins located an inch below, or centered on the cross beam, this put the top link attachment at 26". IIRC that's a typical category 1 3 point standard. Sorry, I meant to put that measurement in the last post. Hope this helps.

Yeah, you can use grade 8 or whatever you think you need. I just made what was needed using some grade whoknows 1/2" bolts and some scrap pieces of 1/4" diamond plate to make the brackets. It's what I had in the shop, and is plenty tough enough. Welded the pipe to a 3"x5" piece of plate, and...

Yes.

In your original post, it's the 4th picture down. Date in the corner is Mar 7 2012. The picture shows the beta version when I was playing with the idea. A piece of 2" square is temporarily sandwiched between the upright, and the pipe to hold the cultivator shank. There are 2 nuts welded to...

I built the hillers in the first and fourth pictures you posted. They're made from 2" square 1/4" wall tubing. The orange painted hiller got sold to a neighbor of mine, and he uses it every year, 10 years now. The 2nd hiller I added a pipe to place a cultivator shank in. It's purpose is to...

I built this 35 gallon sprayer partially to use on my peach and apple trees, and other field spraying needs. It has a 12' collapsible boom, 12V solenoid valves that toggle between boom and wand outputs. A 6 roller pump supplies plenty of volume/ pressure. I mounted the stub of a PTO shaft on...

Bought mine for $750.00, 2 years ago. Replaced the blades/bolts this last week. Still have less than $850.00 in it. The gearbox doesn't leak, and works just fine. Don't have rear chains, just the front ones. The only issue I have with it.....it blows a lot of chaff forward, through the...

Dudette, two words. Bungee cords. 😁

I prefer the KISS principal........"mounted" on the left side of the buggy top framework. Admittedly, there is a fair amount of flutter when playing a cassette tape. 😁

H Here ya go. Hope this helps.

I'm in the process of reworking a JD 37 loader. The boom cylinders were rebuilt. The cylinders for the bucket were "previous owner added", too short, and leaking badly. The two links are for 20" stroke, welded cylinders. Which would you use, and why? I've read many good things about Surplus...

I'm wanting to put in a set of quick connect couplers on the bucket circuit of my 37 loader. The idea is to have the hoses sweep up the right frame, and 90 into the couplers. They'd be mounted on a plate, with the connection facing the front. When I don't want to use the loader it'd be simple...

Here's my 66 model 1020 w/ #37 loader. The bucket on the loader is the manure bucket with extension sheets that create a small materials bucket. I've found a 5' material bucket, and will be fabbing up mounts for it. The boom has single action cylinders, the bucket is double acting hydraulic...

Tractor is a JD 1020, loader is a JD 37. I need to replace the 2 spool valve, and I want to get a 3 spool valve to facilitate a grapple function. My question relates to the max flow rates. The 1020 hydraulics flow at 10.5 GPM. I have yet to find a valve with a matching flow rate. How will a...

I bought a used Agrifab Mow-n-vac tow behind vacuum for picking up the leaves in our lawn. It's been on my wish list of toys......er equipment, but couldn't justify the cost of a new one with SWMBO. Got a great deal, some use and wear on it, but nonetheless, it will be a welcome addition to...

I built this sprayer a couple of years ago. It was loosely based off of one built by Pine Ridge, in a post several years back. It worked great, the boom and frame were way overbuilt. Features include a 12' collapsable boom, 6 roller pump, 8 s pray tips, 30 gallon tank, pressure regulated, and...

I built one of these last year, worked good. Over the winter, I used the steel tubing it was made of for a different project with the idea I wanted to build a better one. I wanted to include a shank to pull a small furrow in the top of the hill to plant in, and make it removeable for when I...

Got a late start on this plot, no rain when I wanted to plant. Still yet, the turnips and rye are doing great. I had a partner today when digging a few turnips for the table. If I didn't know better, I'd think he likes turnips. :D

Being a long time lurker, and after reading Lostinthewoods thread "Shame on you people", I submit my first post. Man, I didn't realize I'd joined over a year ago. At any rate, thus follows my food plot project. This project started out when we first moved to our home and acerage. I've had an...
