Hours are racking up

Wow! The 55 series is the best series Deere ever built. I had a 2555 with a cab, I miss it. How many times have you had to rebuild the engine? My dad has a 1970 John Deere 1020 he bought new and it's been rebuilt 3 times, the hour meter shows around 7,000 but we know it's not right, I used it one day and put 100 on it

I had rod/main brgs replaced at 6500 hrs but still has original piston/liners.

You do know that a lot of "hour" meters read in 1/10 ths don't you? Does 700 hours sound right ?

Our JD 4020 has been stuck on 9,700 since 2001. No idea what the actual hours are.

700 does not sound or look right. Looks like this with the 1/10ths on the right side just like most other hour meters. Dads has 7,000 odd hours on it but isn’t right.

My little NH TC24D is a 2003. I have almost 2400 on it. I've had to have all new gaskets put in the hydrostat and I had to put a clutch in it at about 2100 hours because the center broke out of it. They say loader work really beats clutches.

My Kubota M7060 is two months old and has 46 hours on it.
