john deere 4020

I looked at a Deere 4020 today with a cab. Runs and drives really well, all the glass is there, AC is non-functional but otherwise, it's complete and runs really well. They're asking $8900 for it. Buy it?

I'm purchasing about 12 acres of pasture land & I have the opportunity to buy a 1966 4020 John Deere for $12,000. I was told it has 97 hp. The seller told me he replaced the injector pump, new clutches & had the heads fixed. It would also come with a 8 ft. Westondorf FEL & I believe an 8 ft Big...

I am replacing the rockshaft seals 1. Lift arms are all they way lowered 2. Load sense handle is adjust all the way down The rockshaft sensor arm is now blocking me from putting the shaft back in place. I have tried putting a rod in and can not move it. The arm is too far forward. I...

Thought I started a thread about this but then couldn't find it, not sure what happened. So I'll do it again, sorry if it duplicates..... Ran into this 18 year old young man plowing with a very nice JD4020 and 5 bottom plow. Doing it for the fun of it. He's plowing a small field on a large...

Hi Folks- I have a John Deere 570A motorgrader that supposedly shares the same powershift transmission with the 4020, less the PTO. Anyway, all forward gears are working properly, but reverse has quit; no backing up. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas about that, and also if anybody can...

I recently purchased a 4020 Gas from a friend who got it through a barn find. It's a 4020 Gas Powershift, with a cab and seems to be pretty clean. The main plans for it is just do some plowing for some food plots I want to put in probably roughing 3-5 acres a year. I have a 5 bottom 14" fully...

Hello I'm working on my 4020 again, getting ready to put the new head gasket in and I'm finding different info on cylinder head torque specs useing new bolts. Does anyone have any advice??? Calling deere got me no place. Thanks in advance

People say size, weight and tires make a difference. Obviously the 4020 is bigger and heavier and this one has old R1 tires, but they still have good tread. His FEL is a lot bigger too. Same field, same conditions, same time. We were pushing the same freshly dug pile of dirt, filling in a...

JD 4020 keeps getting water in hydraulic fluid. I have heard that a gasket under the floor plate in the cab can go bad. Has anyone had this problem. Never has done it in 20 years-now twice in about a year. Tractor does sit out in weather. Thanks, J.

OK, so the engine(s) aren't in one of my tractors, but in my trawler - Grand Banks / American Marine marinized Deere 6404 tractor engines with Roosa Master DM injection pumps. One engine, particularly when warm, occasionally stalls following shifting into gear from neutral (i.e. applying a...

I'm looking at a JD 4020 that is a few hundred miles away. The asking price is 8900 and hours are unknown so I'm assuming the hour meter isn't functional. The paint is good and there are no leaks although the 3pt will leak down overnight. Assuming this thing doesn't puff clouds of blue smoke and...

I'm looking at a old 4020 2wd, thinking it'd be good to pull a large bush hog mower. Not running right now, but looks pretty good, not all beat up and has good rubber. Wondering what $$ I should offer? Also is there anything to be concerned with? Just looking for the good & bad on this model...

I just bought a JD 4020 tractor and am attempting to complete some well needed maintenance, including changing all the fluids and filters. The fan belt is very poor so I bought a new one for changing. Can anyone give me advice on how to change it? Pictures would be great. A video would be...

Hi guys, My neighbor has a 1969 (I think) John Deere 4020. He only really uses the tractor a few times a year to bush hog 30 acres. He was bush hogging and literally made one pass and the tractor just cut off on him altogether. I saw him in the field broke down and I went down to see if I...

When my 4020 gets hot the hydralulics and power steering and brakes stop working. After sitting a short while they work again. I changed the fluid 2 wksd ago. Maybe I put in the wrong fluid, Can anyone help

Hi all. I have a John Deere 4020 that is getting diesel in the oil. Dealer says it needs Injection Pump. I've never used a additive to lube the pump and wonder if the pump is worn because of this. Has 5500 hours on it and runs good except for an occasional rpm surge when I have my wood spliter...

We have an old (dash model) 4020 that the steering is acting up and I need to know what the probable cause is. The issue is it seems to steer to the right fairly well. When turning to the left it acts like it's binding. The wheel stops and doesn't want to go any further. If you bring the...

Just to make sure I'm not missing something. Our 1968 4020 seems to lose prime on the hydraulics after it has been sitting for a while. I don't see any major leaks and it's not losing oil. It started a couple years ago where after start up you would have to wait 10-15 seconds before any steering...

I bought a 1968 4020 a year ago and it has a loader on it. The numbers on the tag are "1010". Is this the right loader for this tractor? I noticed under the green paint there was yellow paint, but I do know JD used this color as a primer back then. I have attached a couple pics for review...

Inherited a 4020 diesel. The tractor runs but appears to need some work to make it right. I am interested in seeing if this is something a collector might be interested in and what someone would be willing to pay for the tractor. I will then see if it might be worth my while to pay someone to...

I have a 68 4020 and haven't ordered an operators manual yet. The tractor has a Powershift Tranny which I love but I can seem to find the diff lock. The repair manual discusses one but Alas I cannot find it. I can kick power side to side with the brakes but never have both wheels turning...

Has anyone changed one before? is it something I can do myself? My steering works great to the left but is sluggish and weak to the right. guy I bought the tractor off said to buy a rebuilt steering valve and swap it out. Any thoughts? :confused3:

Actually two questions I have a 68 4020 with a 148 Loader. The loader controls are actually the rear hydraulic controls and somewhat hard to reach to control the loader with any finesse. Can I add a set of controls in a better location and if so where do I tie into supply and return lines...

I have a John Deere 4020 that runs on propane - however, a new radiator was installed so there are no tank shutoff rods going into the cab. The tank seems to leak propane anyway and I don't have a good method to refill it. Therefore I'd like to convert to a gasoline engine. What would I need...

I've been knocking along with my little JD 850 diesel, and the hay making needs and business have grown around here, and it's clear I need 2 tractors, and one needs to be larger. Most of my needs are for square bales, but I always end up in the situation where I need to get some of the hay...
