Greatest Tractor Ever Made?! John Deere 4020 Transformation.!

[@SilojensenDK]

I'm glad to see guys restoring these classic tractors as they are, like a veteran automobile. It's a shame wiping out the wear and tear. Great video.

[@tmonteIH]

I love the way these tractors look after 50 years. Why lose the character.

[@AJ67901]

Major improvement to remove that old cab! Even the 4020 looked tough with the big fenders :)

[@tmonteIH]

Agreed

[@jasonbeecher509]

I couldn't agree more. 4020 is the best tractor ever made. I own 3 of them

[@tmonteIH]

I'm pretty partial to the 806/856 IH myslef.

[@thumperjdm]

@5:08 That moment it goes from a nice tractor, to a BEAUTIFUL tractor. 👏

My dad had a 700 jd , bought it new from the factory in 1970 , it was yellow , construction tractor , same as the 5020 , same body style ,.just different color , great tractor

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video what transformation a beautiful tractor

[@tmonteIH]

Thank you very much!

[@sterff89]

It turned out pretty good for a green one! I can’t believe how cold it gets there too.

[@tmonteIH]

-15 in the winter. 110 in the summer.

[@realmongo7565]

That Deere looks pretty good now!

[@tmonteIH]

It does!

[@brianhayes7618]

Stay safe and warm. I remember the minus 15 weather when I was farming in nw Pennsylvania. Don't worry miss it one bit. Suppose to be lows in 30s here in Florida that's too cold for me.

[@tmonteIH]

Stay warm!

[@gleanerk]

Enjoyed watching all the video!

[@williammatzek4660]

I grew on a 4020 , then a 5020 standard. My first tractor was a 5020 row crop standard. I now have a 4010 standard and 4020 row crop standard. If I remember correctly you could order a 4020 with 17 or 18 inch front wheels.

[@tmonteIH]

I don’t disagree but an incredibly hard sale with the cab.

[@williammatzek4660]

​@@tmonteIHl'm glad we live in a country with the freedom to believe as we want. Stay warm! Have a good day ! Unless you have other plans.

Great job she's a surviver only original once ❤nice job

[@tmonteIH]

You said it. A lot of original paint ruined by bored old men.

[@phillipmorgan5822]

My dad put 30 inch tires on the back , looked real beefy 👍👍

[@davidbarnes706]

Really nice tractor

[@tmonteIH]

It sure is! Thank you.

[@corydriver7634]

She’s a sweetheart.

[@Peanutbeards]

I’m guessing the white paint splatter might be from driving on the edge of the road after lines were painted and not fully dry. I had that happen to my f450 dually. It was white specs of paint everywhere on my black paint. Just a guess.

[@tmonteIH]

Could’ve been. Their farm was right by the highway.

[@217daryl]

Did you adjust the clutch yet?

[@tmonteIH]

Nope. Still forgot.

[@williammatzek4660]

A couple of yrs ago i bought my 4020. It's not as slick as yours. Engine sounds good. I have a broken wire between the push button and starter also. Mine does not have a turbo. It's a 1967 row crop standard no cab.

[@tmonteIH]

Synchro or powershift?

[@williammatzek4660]

@@tmonteIH synchro range.

[@Mr-er6fg]

That tractor "AS IS" would generate a lot of attention at our shows in and around Indiana. Hate to see the cab come off. Nothing like that around "here".

[@tmonteIH]

The egging cab is pretty common around here. A lot better visibility and usability without.

[@shawnhagen6871]

Grant from Laura Farms KZbin channel is looking for a 4020

[@tmonteIH]

Something tells me he’s going to want one with 3 point.

[@phillipmorgan5822]

1100 's on the front

[@miniaturefarmer464]

That tractor was set up to pull harrows and drills.

[@tmonteIH]

Much like a lot of tractors of this area.

[@miniaturefarmer464]

I bet that's a Crenlo cab.

[@tmonteIH]

Egging cab

The 4020 looks good, you Kansas people have too much fun. HA
