How to Adjust and Replace John Deere Valves and Head Gasket on a gas 3010, 3020, 4010 or 4020

[@tomaskey6844]

Visiting a friend and he is working on removing a cylinder head on a 4020 so I’m helping him. We got the injectors out today and will finish removing the head tomorrow. Sure enjoyed Rachel’s presentation. I love watching competent people and always learn something new from them.

[@pianoz4u1]

Always great presentations. And a priviledge to meet your Dad, the man who no doubt played a huge part in your expertise in mechanics. A big salute to you both.

Don't you think she looks prettier.

[@bobmiller9018]

Rachel, always like your videos, Hats off to your parents for raising such a amazing young lady

[@Cheatman1342]

This is the first time I’ve found comprehensive tutorials on 4020 repair. This is a great resource. Thank you.

[@colmone5592]

Hi, Rachel. You're looking great as always. It is really good that you are teaching your dad how to fix tractors but it will be a long while before he reaches your level of knowledge. You are a really good teacher. I look forward to your next video.

[@garyprn2000]

I think that I speak for all of us when I say that we appreciate your time in preparing these infotorials (yes, it’s my word).

[@kevinjohnson9710]

Dad you should be very proud of your daughter she is awsome.

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Great seeing you and your father work together. Can see you inspire each other!

[@georgetweedie1231]

No matter how hard I look around for information on my tractor. Your videos are always of the most help! If you’ve got any hidden secrets for more horse power on these old deeres. Do share!

[@s.salari5800]

i don't have a tractor but i enjoy of your skill and your smile.thanks

[@markschwartz5614]

I found for installing engine heads make up some guide bolt. Take old head bolts, cut off the bolt head and then round off the shaft where the bolt head was cut off. Install the guide bolts, slide the head gasket down on the bolts and slowly lower the engine head. Unscrew the guide bolts and proceed as normal with the head bolt install. I have used that on many a Cat and Waukesha engine, it just makes life easier and you do not have to worry as much about damaging the head gasket. Good video!

I don`t even own a tractor but I am a mechanic, so I can relate. Thank you for posting.

[@bucktownpsd1590]

Great video. I first found you working on the carb for the 3020. I recently was given a 3020 that belonged to my wife’s great grandfather and I want to get it back in good shape. Hope you have a lot more videos about this tractor. I have a lot to learn about it. P.S. I am also from the great state of Michigan.

[@davidbriggs1408]

Another great tutorial, Rachel!!!!

[@tomrobards7753]

You are such an awesome person Rachel , such a good mechanic ,, you go girl , love all of your videos keep up the good work and God bless !!!

[@rogercarrico4975]

Lots of commits about wearing gloves. I like the Gingells, also find it nearly impossible to handle small parts with gloves on. Of course wear them when cleaning with strong solvent. One tip that I was taught by my shop teacher. Before starting to work with clean hands. Rub a little go-jo or similar into your hands. Helps keep them from chapping, easier to wash when done.

[@jth030966]

Great video as always could yall do one on a case ih 685 cab tractor on hydraulics the three point lift wont stay up it keeps drifting down thanks for everything yall do i watch every video

Would you do a video on a 2140 head gasket and valve adjustment

[@josephinenickerson5359]

I would like to see how to get the oil pump out of a JD 50 tractor . Do you have a film on that ? I like your show very much .

[@CarolSaunders-yf9ss]

How did you rotate the engine . did you used the starter , our did you used wrench on front of engine?

[@imallearsru]

Just an FYI, when you're installing the valves into the guides use rear axle ( diff. ) oil, it contains a large amount of lead and will lubricate the valve stem well past the break in period.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great video

[@marcijunebug]

Just discovered the channel! Love it! New sub from Indiana!

[@stevepeat1719]

Hi Rachel. Why not use a countersink bit to remove the burr from the valve guide? Also can't you use the rule of 9 for setting valve clearances ie set #1 with #8 on full lift etc. ?

[@joylewalthall8409]

Rachel u are amazing at what you do your husband is a very lucky man

[@carlboehm3858]

Question ... What is the reason that you did not lap the valves ? I was taught that the valves should be lapped to get a positive seat to valve contact. Thank You for your tutorials ... wonderful teaching on all your videos

[@johnboyington3456]

Carl Boehm , actually valve lapping is not a good practice. Valve and seats should have a one degree difference which is called interference angle. For example for a 45 degree valve you grind the valve at 44 and the seat at 45.

[@carlboehm3858]

@@johnboyington3456 thank you for the explanation and answer ... I will be doing the valves on my Ford 2N and also on my Ford 300 six ... I was going to get the lapping compound but now I can reconsider that

[@8.2deck]

Oil is the number 1 cause of head gasket failure so make sure you clean both head and deck very well

[@northpole9311]

This helped me out....thanks.

[@arussianasset3948]

I just bought a 1967 Massey 2135. Do you stock MF parts for 135/2135? I did see the vid you did on a MF hydraulic pump, so I'm guessing I shouldn't have trouble getting parts from your website Rachel. Very helpful videos, thank you.

Have you all ever thought about doing a Oliver 77 we have one on the farm that we used when I was a kid and would like to rebuild it for my dad it hasn’t run for 15 year after it got water in the cylinders and we just put it out back and at the time I was to young to fix it.But would like to now for him. It green just not jd green

[@anjanjana6183]

Good job

[@jonathankipps9061]

Word of caution -- I replaced the head gasket on a JD 2750. A very similar engine, but diesel. I learned the hard way that the head bolts should not be dripping with oil like yours were. I'm not sure how you escaped the problem that I encountered. I dipped my head bolts in motor oil, immediately dropped them in their respective holes, and proceeded to torque them down. Unknown to me, the excess oil was wiped off as the bolt was screwed into the block threads. That resulting puddle of oil seeped out around the head gasket and appeared on the outside of the engine. This oil contamination of the head gasket is an obvious problem. This mistake cost me a head gasket, as I had to remove the head again, clean both the block and the head, and reinstall with a new gasket. This time, I just drizzled a little oil on the bolts, and let them drip on a towel for a minute before installing in the engine.

[@irvinwittmeier5208]

Great video !;-)

Very nice

How do you know when your on the compression stroke?

[@oby-1607]

Does this tractor in 3010 gas version have cylinder liners or a solid bore? I am looking at one that is getting coolant in the oil but is very cheap to buy.

[@DanGingell]

3010 gas tractors have liners. An engine rebuild is a little costly on these models, so calculate the cost of the engine rebuild into your offered price on the tractor.

[@oby-1607]

@@DanGingell The tractor comes with a loader and is running and is going to cost me $1000.

[@58dorsett]

Don't the valves, and seats have to be lapped?

[@johnboyington3456]

Actually, no. The valves should be ground at a one degree difference from the seat. For example with 45 deg valves the seat is ground at 45 and the valve at 44.
