    Thanks for help folks. Looks like I might have a short term and a longer term project here.

    Removing fluid from tires

    I have a 3020 with Calcium Chloride in the rear tires. Don't need the ballast anymore, what's the best way to remove the salt water and is there anything that should be done for the rims? Thanks,

    4030 transmissions

    If I am not mistaken, the JD 540A log skidder utilized a Dubuque 329ci engine with a Turbo for about 100 hp (which oddly enough could be had with the powershift, we had one) So I suspect all the part exist to make the franken 4030. Tim S needs a new project, but this one probably isn't nearly...

    4230 vs 4040

    Didn't they have different injection pumps? I seem to recall reading the 4040 pump being harder to turn up. But have seen plenty of people talk about adding about 10% to pump output which would seem to bring it right in line with the 4230.

    Height of 3020 exhaust

    My folks have a 3020 that was purchased new in 1968 and was a part of our ranch from that day on. Dad retired but kept the 3020. Now I am looking at keeping the old tractor myself but want to know if it will fit in my garage//shop. Does anyone know the height of the exhaust? It’s an...

    Thanks all... looks like it wasnt very close at all, 40 series in a landslide.

    4240 or 4430

    Which would you prefer, a late model 76 or 77 4430, or the slightly newer naturally aspirated 4240. Figure SGB and quad range for both. Work would include primary tillage with a mold board plow and disk harrow as well as running a baler in the summer time. Maybe they are similar enough that...
