    Sound Guard cab on new generation JD

    Personally I would leave a 72 4000 powershift original and if you still wanted to to do a sound guard cab conversion maybe buy a less rare tractor like a 4020 powershift to do it on. I do think a new generation with a sound guard would be pretty neat. Heck, if you wanted to sell your 4000 to...

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    Out of curiosity I got my 3020 out of the barn today.....I was wrong it does have a slight creep in neutral when on flat ground. It is a slow creep and I guess that is why I never noticed it before when I wasn't specifically looking for it. I probably thought it was just rolling due to the...

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    Yeah, repair bills can really add up.....I have already spent way more than the tractor is worth. The smart thing to do would have been to cut my losses from the start and resold it for what I could have but I didn't realize at the time how much it was going to cost to get it back into good...

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    The engine does not lug when brakes are applied, it just stops. It really is more than just a creep, it moves along pretty good. For those that are saying that this is normal for a powershift why doesn't my 3020 powershift do this?

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    I will give it a try. Brand new oil and filters and sump srceen has been cleaned. When I changed the hydraulic oil filters right after I got the tractor they were collapsed.

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    I also have a 3020 powershift and it does not move in neutral at all but it has way less hours and wear than the 4020. I do not care for the creeping of this 4020 and would like to fix it....don't really want to call it a creep because it moves more than just a creep. I kind of doubt a 2x4...

    JD 4020 powershift moves in neutral

    I have a 1971 JD 4020 powershift that I bought without looking it over first that has turned out to be a money pit. When in neutral the tractor will keep moving as if it is in gear but will stop if I press the brakes. It does this in both forward and reverse depending on which direction a was...

    JD 4230

    I have a 71 4020 that I'm currently fixing up and wanted another tractor about that size but with a cab and I thought that a 4230 might fit the bill. I really like how nimble my 4020 is for its size and I thought about getting another but I really need a good cab with A/C. I just didn't want...

    JD 4230

    Thanks guys that is just the info I was wanting. I don't think this is correct but I have been told that the 4230 used the same 404 engine design that the 71 and 72 4020s had? I have also been told that 4230s were fuel hogs for their size but then others have said it just seemed like they...

    Needing Bracketry for 343 Corn Head Drive

    I'm needing one of those brackets as well to run a 343 corn head on my 3300. The combine came with the drive sprocket but not the bracket thing......wasn't sure if I had to have it or not. Would any damage happen if you ran it without having the bracket? I will give Bowie a call maybe they...

    JD 4230

    I'm thinking about possibly buying a 4230 and was wondering what changes and improvements were to made to the tractor over its production run. How different would a 73 model be than a 77? I have been told to stay away from the 73 models as they had some problems in the final drives. I know a...

    4020 with combine engine ???

    It looks like John Deere made a printing mistake on that 3020 repower brochure. It says to replace the original 270 gas and 270 Diesel engines but the 3020 gas engine was a 227(early) or 241(late). I wonder if many 3020 gas tractors were switched over to diesel with that repower engine?

    JD 4020 third scv

    If you could get that for me I sure would appreciate it.

    JD 4020 third scv

    I didn't realize that the third valve would have different levers than the others. Where are the levers located?

    JD 4020 third scv

    I want to add a third scv to my 71 4020 powershift. I should be able to get the parts through a salvage yard I'm thinking but I'm under the impression that the original kit from JD to add a third scv came with a stencil to show you where on the rockshaft cover you need to cut the hole for...
