    Plastic replacement fuel tank for JD 1020 ?

    My JD 1020 (diesel) has a leaky fuel tank. Not sure where the leak is coming from. I'd have to pull the tank to find it. Being that the problem part is just a TANK, my thought is that I'd be better off replacing it with a new plastic tank. At least in the short term, I could get it up and...

    JD 1020 - what is the correct tire pressure?

    1020 head gasket problem

    I'm reposting this from the repair section ------ I noticed that my JD 1020 coolant is always about 1 gallon low. So I tried filling it up, but then started getting a lot of smoke out of the blowby tube (or whatever it's called). I also noticed that my freshly changed oil had water in it. So...

    JD 1020 Hydraulic filter problem

    Well, I tried changing the fluid and filter this week. Fluid went okay - filter - not so much. It is in a steel bell housing under the transmission and held in place by a bolt through the center with a gasket around the rim and the whole thing is under spring pressure. I could not seat the...

    New owner of a 1020 - LOTS of questions.

    Hey all. Just took delivery of a JD 1020 diesel with about 6,700! hours. Very new to tractor ownership, and a very old tractor, so bear with me. First off - It runs.... pretty darn well from what I can tell. It handled a 6ft bush hog through 5ft saplings like it was nothing. I'm really...

    Would a compact tractor meet my needs or should I go for more horsepower?

    I'm in the market for a used tractor and bush hog. I see a lot of used Japanese tractors out there, mostly grey market. Most run in the ~15 - 17hp range. Higher HP are usually American and VERY old. The need I'm trying to meet with this tractor is at my hunting land. Problems I hope this...

I have a 35 acre hunting tract with about 3 acres cleared. One acre is a grass lawn. The other 2 are fields that I mostly...
