    1970 JD 1020 Gas

    Hi all, it was raining tonight so I though I would spend a little time with "Deloris". She has a fuel gauge that has always read full since I bought her this last fall. I was able to get the gauge to modulate when I unplugged the signal side of the gauge. So that tells me it works and I am...

    Tractor Under Load

    I just noticed today as I was moving residual snow filled with gravel back onto the driveway that the tractor seems to run "strange" under load. It almost sounds like the choke is open, but I made sure it was pushed all the way in. As you can tell, I am not much of grease monkey, but willing...

    Premium or regular unleaded

    There are probably a million threads on this, but I can't find a single one. I am a new tractor owner and with my small engines I try to use premium (no ethanol) for gas. Is this also true with the gas tractors? I have a 3-cylinder gas in my JD 1020.

    ROPS for JD 1020

    Anybody out there build one of these for the 20 series JD tractors? I just purchased a 1020 and live on hill. I would like to install one for my own safety. I would love to see what you have come up with. Particularly how it gets mounted to the tractor.
