    Negative ground fuel gauge for 5020

    John, It sounds like you've forgot more than I know. I haven't had the tractor long and the guy I bought it from didn't know what year it is. Sounds like I need to do what you said and got to Deere with the serial number. Thank you! Jeff Wellington, Ks

    Negative ground fuel gauge for 5020

    Hi all, I have been looking on Ebay for a fuel guage for my 5020. Every page selling a fuel gauge specifies that is a negative ground, usually in caps. What does this mean, and; negative ground as opposed to what? I've never seen anything else for sale. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but...

    Can a rops be added to a Wheatland 5020?

    Hi guys, I suspect I know the answer to this but thought I'd double-check. I bought a Wheatland 5020 this past weekend. It's got super-straight tin and was overhauled about 800 hours ago. I bought it from a retired farmer. It has been cold her for a while and when he tried to start it for us...

    Bought my grandpa's '46 John Deere A this weekend

    John, Wow and thanks! Some of the things you mentioned sound awfully familiar from when we did this when I was a senior in high school. I know we re-ringed it and honed the cylinders and remember using a block of wood. Thanks again, Jeff

    Bought my grandpa's '46 John Deere A this weekend

    Ron, Thank you! Is the best way to fill the cylinder with diesel to pull the plugs and pour it in that way? Sorry if that's a dumb question. Jeff

    Bought my grandpa's '46 John Deere A this weekend

    In 1985 as a senior in high school, my shop class and I restored my grandpa's A John Deere. After he died, my dad sold the tractor and I have felt like we lost a dear family member as gramps bought it new. This past weekend I was able to buy it back and my son and I plan to restore it. I am...

    John Deere 6030 before and after pics

    Hey thanks, I plan on changing the oil and fuel filters before using it, so didn't bother. I got the fenders as good as I could. I used body putty for the first time in my life. I probably should've done better. thanks, Jeff

    Was the aircleaner on a 6030 black or green?

    What size are those tires? Did your tractor come with those, or did have to add them?

    Was the aircleaner on a 6030 black or green?

    Mark, Man, thanks. I did not know that. Where did you get that information? There are very few 6030s where I live and nobody seems to know anything about them. I have a couple of "before" pics and soon will have "after" pics. Do you have a 6030? Thanks again! Jeff

    Was the aircleaner on a 6030 black or green?

    Hey guys, I'm getting ready to paint my '73 6030. The air cleaner is currently black and most of the photos I see of 6030s also have black air cleaners. However, a few are green and, the owners manual I recently purchased shows it to appear green. Which is it? Thanks, Jeff Kansas

    Are used 16Lx16 tires available anywhere?

    I've already spent about $4,000 and don't have it painted yet!

    Where the #%@* can I get a kick panel?

    I got one from John Deere and it was the only one in the system as I understand it. It was $125. I have 4620 that we restored a few years ago and it appears that the kick panels are the same as the 6030. I've tried salvage yards and they say there are none to be found.
