5020 Kinze Repower Restoration - 8V71T Detroit Diesel

Thanks for stopping by!
Today's video is all about out 5020 Kinze Repower! Back in the 70's, John Kinzenbaw was known for his repowers, and made kits to outfit 4020's, 4520's, and 5020's with either 6V71 or 8V71 Detroit Diesels. This 5020 is equipped with one of his kits and has an 8V71T as its engine donor. The "T" in the "8V71T" stands for turbo, and since restoring this tractor, I have only found one other tractor with this configuration. The turbo increases this engine's horsepower from 318 to about 350 horsepower. To start the restoration, we first removed the cab. This was not challenging at all, and Jake and I had it off within a couple of hours. We also removed the LP tank on the side that they used as an extra diesel tank, and removed the tank off of the front. We knew this tractor had transmission problems, and in the sake of time and money, we knew it would be cheaper and faster to find a donor tractor for a new rear end. A friend of ours had a 5020 back in the day and went through the transmission, and shortly after that the crankshaft broke in the tractor. Since then it had been parked, so we called him and bought the tractor. With the help from a dealership mechanic, Jake, and Grandpa, we had the tractors spilt and put back together within an afternoon. The engine was in great shape and the only thing we did was loosen up all of the injectors so they did not stick open and make the engine run full throttle. We then addressed the radiator situation. In order to put a 5010 fuel tank back into this tractor, we had to remove the second radiator they put in this tractor, and the oil cooler as well. To accomplish this, we removed the smaller front radiator and 5010 oil cooler from the tractor, left this radiator out, and replaced the 5010 oil cooler with one from a 4030, which has a much slimmer profile. We also had the radiator rebuilt and had the put an extra core in place of the old unit. Under a load for a long period of time, it is very hard to get this tractor over 190 degrees. We then addressed the rear tires. Since this tractor was so unique, we decided we needed to do something that very few people have done. I cut two rims and welded in 16 inch wide bands to make the rims wide enough for 900/60R32 rear tires. The shear size of these tires alone is something to be amazed by, and really makes this tractor stand out. To help these floaters hook when pulling a plow, we used a 300 pound cast iron weight on each side, then added an additional 140 gallons of windshield washer fluid to each tire to add additional weight. To match the behemoth rear tires, we put a set of 16.5-16.1 Firestones on the front. This makes the tractor sit very close to level and matches well with the rear tires. We were also very lucky to find a set of Wheatland fenders for this tractor. Our friend Lance Little stopped by one day with a set and Grandpa looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "those are not leaving." And through some negotiating, they didn't! From day one he wanted to put those fenders on this tractor and boy was he happy when Lance sold them to us. We had to seriously repair and customize the hood on this tractor to make everything work. This included filling in the hole where the front radiator used to be, adding a hole for the new 5010 fuel tank, and welding in a small LP tank to fit around the turbo. The tank turned out great and really adds to the customized look of this tractor. The hydraulic remotes used to sit where the turbo is now, so before we got the tractor they moved the remotes to the back of the tractor and hooked then up to levers in the cab. With the cab now gone, we took a console off of a 4520 and I made linkages to then hook up to the hydraulic remotes and 3-point hitch control. We also found a quick hitch for the tractor and although it comes very close to hitting the fender, it doesn't, and wraps up the rear end of the tractor quite nicely.
If you made it this far or watched the whole video, I want to thank you for sticking around. A ton of work went into this tractor, and I am extremely proud of the outcome and being able to share it with you. For more on this tractor you can check out the first video I did on it, or come to the Half Century of Progress Show in Rantoul, Illinois where we will have it there hooked to a 6-bottom plow!
Thanks for watching, and I'll see ya on the next one!

S 5020 person. Used to seed with a 1968 Wheatland .what a beast. In the dead of night .2::00 am . Heading up a long hill. I'd pull out the stop button and let that 531 cid spool up to 2500 rpm .And watch the muffler turn cherry red Id e ven see flames come out of the muffler What a blast. Who can relate?

Love the Kinze repower. Worked part time for a friend that had a 8640 that was repowered with a 400 Cummins from Kinze. Hated when he sold it.

[@RennerStockFarms]

A neighbor had an 8630 repowered with the same kit and they loved it as well.

We had a 8650 repowered from kinze 855 Cummins it was a well done by them

It’s amazing that a 5020 and exhort that kind of horsepower and torque the website I was looking at said 380 hp to 425 turbo and 1100 foot pounds of torque that’s amazing that that transmission can sustain that we’re actually in the rear end

[@RennerStockFarms]

They were tough that's for sure! If you were to really weight the tractor down and force it to hook up I am afraid it wouldn't last very long at all.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

@Renner Stock Farms Years ago, I worked in a tire shop that served the Farm Community. I remember a guy and his 6030. It was a hot machine and spun out pretty easily pulling a huge field cultivator. He had plenty of cast iron on it and wanted all 4 20.8x38s filled with fluid. He called fuming mad the next day, complaining that all 4 tires were flat and the tractor covered in fluid. We went out to put new tubes in and refill the tires when he asked how to keep the tires from spining on the rims. In steps the young drag racer saying we should drill the wheels and screw the beads to the wheels like they did top fuel dragsters. I got that job because I suggested it. It worked but it took quite a while and a few 3/16ths drill bits. To this day, I hate straight head screws.

I need to make or get wider rims for my combine tires. I have a 9600 jd combine that someone wanted more traction with so they put some 900/80 r32s on and I love the tires but the sidewalls so bubbly on that I just can't stand them they got put on the oem rims for the combine. I love the way your rims are and how your tires look on the rims

Did you know that Detroit Diesel and the John Deere were very close to a merging their engine operations back in the mid 1980s? The new company was going to be called DeDec.

[@RennerStockFarms]

I did not know that, I'll have to look into that!

[@petercarlsen3462]

Deere had a big part in developing the Series 60 while Detroit was losing a big market share from Cat and Cummins.

[@gonerydin4225]

@@petercarlsen3462 Yes, we made parts for Detroit, Cat and Cummins at the Waterloo Works back in the 1980s.

How long will the fuel last ?? I love the shiny green paint .. I got to go pick up a new combine at the factory in Moline Illinois just across the Missouri river & took a tour of the factory.. & left later that afternoon to head back to Kansas .. My boss went & picked up the other one we ordered .. Thank you for your videos they are always interesting .. From a retired farmer of 40 some years ..

[@RennerStockFarms]

I wish I had that answer for you. I generally top off the tank when I go to use it but only run it for an hour or so at a time, so I never actually get to run the tank down. With that being said, I highly doubt it would last a full day on the 5010 fuel tank!

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

It might just be me but I don't think Bernie could run that tractor. Lol 👍

I think u should have left the row crop fenders on

[@RennerStockFarms]

We thought about that, and it still would have looked great, but with the big tires we thought the wheatland fenders would match everything better

[@bryantyeskie3]

did they do anything to the transmission on these tractors? or just left stock?

Late to the show as usual. But would you have the paint code as well as single stage or base clear , etc. Also what paint manufacturer is used most often. Thanks, and I’m sure you’re buttons are bursting every time you drive those beautiful tractors.

[@jimbaker7133]

Will the rear end stand up to the hp?

[@RennerStockFarms]

If you don't weight the tractor down too much and let the tires slip a little then yes. Forcing the tractor to hook up with that extra horsepower will tear it up fast.
