I bought a new John Deere 4020

[@steveaaron6941]

4020 is the best tractor ever built. I had a 1968 with a power shift for 10 years. I cried the day it sold.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I’m not sure if I’d say it’s the best tractor ever, but it is a darn good one. There’s a reason that there’s still gobs of 4020s around

[@steveaaron6941]

Yes, but you have been spoiled with rolling living rooms with a steering wheel, grasshopper.

[@leol1682]

Love the 4020 JD Tractor and yours is looking very good .

[@ampride5900]

Nice 4020. I have a power shift too. Thats what I use for the little farming that I do. Haven't been able to afford a new one, but I'm happy with it.

[@wry569]

Great find. Another classic! Look forward to seeing you get her in shape.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

This one will take me awhile, as I’m about out of money to fix it with

[@stevenweir7236]

I remember beet harvest time and my uncle on the 4020 pulling the 3 row digger. Those tractors just never die. I pulled disk and roller harrow with the same old 4020. I miss those days

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I’ll pull a planter or a disk with this one. I’ve never seen a field of beets before

[@teebugg66]

The 4020 is the best tractor Deere ever made! I’ve been to the factory where they were made in Waterloo Iowa, it’s now a museum. I live in central Florida, diesel is $5.60 here today and I think $5.85 on the interstate

[@goldingerfarms9357]

Fuel is expensive at the moment…

[@dallasschwartz6131]

Congrats on the new (to you) tractor! It’s a great find!

[@goldingerfarms9357]

It should serve me well. I’ve always kind of wanted a 4020

[@alviney5138]

everybody should have a 4020 -- looks like an excellent tractor and buy

[@goldingerfarms9357]

So far, it seems like a good tractor. It’s no 4320, but it’s better than an 806

[@meathead2676]

What's good about old John Deere tractors is , they built them to last..💯

[@briancrossno]

That is definitely awesome find big time. I love the 4020 John deere hit a grand slam when they built that tractor. First tractor I learned on was a 4020. Definitely keep it in its working clothes great way to always have the older equipment all the time. Keep them videos coming and stay safe my friends 😎🌞👍

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I like the original paint look, plus I can’t afford to have anything painted up real nice

Eventually I’d like a 4440 but that’s a step up in expense

[@thewjs3738]

Happy Birthday Arthur

[@robertheinkel6225]

My uncle had a 4020 with the power shift. It was parked on a hill with the baler attached. I decided to move it, by taking it out of park, and start it by rolling down the hill in gear, like I did with my Oliver’s. Imagine my surprise to find I have no steering, no brakes, and zero control. Thank heavens I didn’t hit anything.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

Yeah the 4020s don’t roll start. Rolling one down a hill is not something I’d want to do

[@bobearthquakepumpkinfarm7455]

I like tractors in their working clothes as well. I think you should keep the 730 on your planter. I noticed how you shift your powershift. Normally, I'll grab the green side bar and use my thumb to shift. That way, I have something to hold on to when it jerks, and I don't miss my gear. Try it.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

Judging by the worn paint in that very spot, I’d say that’s what the previous owners were doing. I guess I can try the 4020 on the disk first. It’ll take me a few weekends to get it ready to run the planter anyway

[@peteparker7396]

That 4020 is rare with the power shift and 12v system. She’s a dandy! More then likely the combo of the calcium sloshing and maybe adjusting the shifting linkage she will stop moving.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

The calcium is getting sucked out this week. I’m having dad go and look at a set of rims for me sometime this week too so hopefully I don’t have to run the rims I have now for much longer

[@jimrankin2583]

Let the oil warm up and it’ll stop rocking in park. Might help to have new HYGard fluid in it too. In any case it doesn’t mean anything bad.

[@missstarry11596]

I wrote my comment before the junk yard joke it made my day I was raised on John deere

[@Kleman09]

Unless there is a hole in your rims, you can have them repaired. That will save you plenty of cash! On our farm, both the 4000 and 4020 had calcium in them. We repaired leaks from time to time, and replaced calcium with a less corrosive liquid. You might want liquid in the tires for an overall better balanced tractor.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I want zero liquid in my tires. I’ve been trying to hunt down a pair of rims

[@kennethnevel3263]

I run 1964 , 4020 and creep in gear with clutch/ dump valve is normal and good for hooking up things . I think it was made to work like that .

[@michaelberardi4126]

If you end up taking the tires and wheels off that 4020 don’t be afraid to heat up up the bolts holding the wedges.some times the bolts come out east but if they’ve had calcium it always seemed like the bolts were a pain to get out. A torch and a air hammer will get them out..

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I’ll be sliding the wheels in soon. I was afraid that the wedges may be frozen up a bit

If u clear coat your un painted Tractors it would protect what paint is left and it would give it some Shine possiblyWould definitely preserve the "PATINA"

@@goldingerfarms9357 everything is going for good money right now. I just bought a 1968 4020 powershift yesterday at a auction with my son and I’m sure I paid a lot more then many people would consider but I don’t plan on ever selling it. I can make more money but can’t buy memory’s. My boys are happy.

I enjoyed the video!! If the tach was still working, how many hours were on that beauty when you purchased it?? Thank you!!

[@bladewiper]

You can rebuild a machine as many times as you want, but it is only original once. I personally would not be too concerned about the two layers of paint, it is part of the tractors history, just like the step and the decal.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

I already started peeling the top layer of paint off on the hood, so I’ll at least get the hood stripped and then go from there

They are nice, as long as you’ve never ran a deere before. Everything in them is eurotrash and the controls are not intuitive for me. They seem to hold up well and I wouldn’t turn one away if I had the chance to run one in the field

You should straight pipe the 4020 and clear coat it to keep the tractor from getting more rusty

No on the straight pipe, but yes on the clear coat. I still need to get all of the original paint exposed and then I can figure out what to do

If there is rust under the clear coat, it will still rust. The rust will slow, but not stop.
