I went and bought another tractor today, a John Deere 3020 diesel. It's old, ugly and needs some doctoring...just like me! :D

The 3020 has been one of my favorite tractors since my uncle brought twins home back in the mid 1960s
I think it was my first encounter with diesel. I love the lines of their biuld. You've made a wonderful selection :).

I like tractors like that too. I guess for the same reasons...:)

Nice, definitely one of my favorite tractors. My dad had a narrow front 3020 syncro diesel in the late sixties, never had a problem with it. A few years later we both bought 4020 diesels, my dad got a new PS wide front 1972 and I bought a 1968 syncro wide front. Often wish I still had one of these.

I am amazed at the prices these tractors bring today. A good candidate for a restoration from what I see.

One of my "all-time" best tractors, too! Congrats! I figured I was gonna duplicate having a 3020 when I bought a cab, 5075M. Nope, it's not the same... The 3020 had more low-end grunt!

Let's have a look-see..

I'd post pics but I don't have a camera. Heck, I don't even have a cell phone...

I don't believe you.

How'd ya take that "selfie" for your avatar if you don't have a camera?

I have a good amount of seat time on a 3020 and a 4020 from back in my earlier years on the farm. Those were great tractors and would pull just darned near anything. They were built to last forever and would be my number 1 choice for restoration.

How about posting some "before" pics so we can more fully appreciate the "after" pics when you're done?

You are living my dream! I wish I didn't need a cell but I have to have one with my job :mad:. I hate having to sleep with it beside my bed, wondering if I will get a phone call in the middle of the night to go to work....

It isn't just cells that cause that problem; back in the 70's/80's I didn't have a cell(and still don't), but had a land line beside the bed for that very reason, night time misery calls

I guess you would love to live in the 1850s like me.
hugs, Brandi

1850s? Not quite that far back in time! :laughing: I'm not a techno geek; I don't have a desire to have every gadget going but I do like some of them...for example I'd hate to not have a computer now and I like modern dentistry and health care. I'd be dead without the later! :eek:
