    3020 gas starter

    Used to have a 3020 gasser, and it ate starters like kids eat candy. Never really figured out what was causing the problem. Always assumed, it was a timing. spark issue that caused to to crank good one time then slow the next. Finnaly gave up and traded for a 4020D.

    Lending equipment

    My Dad had a drill stored in our neighbors barn. At my Dads funeral, this neighbor and I were talking, and the subject of the drill came up. It seemed that Dad had sold the drill to someone, but neighbor did not know to whom. Told my neighbor, that if anyone showed up to get it, they need to...

    4020 Battery Dilema

    Ok, I guess I'm confused here a bit. Are we talking about a gas/lp tractor?? Because if it's a diesel model, they were all 24v systems, with 2-12 volt batteries connected in series. I switched my 4020D over to a 12 volt system, with 2-12 volt batteries in parallel, and have never looked back...

    Safety lock outs at work

    As an underground coal miner, (Maintenance Forman), myself, this is how it is still done. I now also require all MSHA inspectors, to put their own lock, on equipment when they are doing inspections. Pisses some of them off, but hey it's their rule. Besides, I trust no one but myself, and expect...

    Getn the old girl out

    Those rear weights are worth their weight in gold. Use to run a 3300 without them, and on hills, the rear end was always very light. When I bought this machine a couple of years ago, the weights were on it. I seem to have a lot more steering control, and don't have to worry about noseing over...

    O/T Tick Bite

    Just went through a VERY scary week with my wife. It started 2 weeks ago, with some type of bite to her leg, which left a huge bruise. A couple of days later, she starts complaining of body aches, and a headache. That night, she started running a fever of 103. So on Monday she goes to doctor...

    NH 848 and JD 336 baler

    I have a JD 336, bought new in '76. Has been a super great machine. Makes your standard small sized square bales. Only thing thats ever been done to mine is a complete knotter rebuild at about 100,000 bales. Tale care of it and it will take care of you.

    The wooly bear catipillar (Winter Predictor)?

    The old timers around here used to use the wooly like this 1) If it is Black-brown-black, it will start off cold, warm up in the middle and end the winter cold. 2) If it is all black, it will be a brutally cold winter. 3) If it is all white, it means a lot of snow is coming. We have been...

    JD4010 oil weight?

    Used to run straight 30W in 4020D, just like owners manual said. But in the last 10 years or so, oil companies have fixed all the problems with multi-viscosity oils, so we run 15W-40 in all our diesel engines. For a gasser, I'd go with the 10W-40

    Deere 6600 settings and adjustments

    Trying to adjust cylinder speed from anywhere but the cab would be very dangerous. Timing of the sheaves must be done when machine is shut off. Once that is done, the only way to adjust speed, is from the cab. That is why, you must be sure that adjusting chains and sprockets are in alignment and...
