    1965 JOHN DEERE 4020 diesel rough idea of value

    I still think that 158 loader is worth nearly $4,000. Duel outlets, JD front end, weights, sway blocks and I assume power beyond. Ask about the top link. That not a lot of hours if it's the original tac. Agree with Ray.

    Day from h3ll

    What, no major tractor failure and the cow aren't out. Hopefully it was diet pop. Take a short nap and restart your day.

    John Deere 60 Oil Pressure Adjustment Different

    I would remove the oil line to the gauge where it connects to the engine, remove plugs, crank over. Hopefully it will spray oil over your nice clean engine. If not, you need to open it up.

    But guys it's so much fun to guess the value of a tractor we have never seen.

    Tractor Rim Question

    The rims I have on my MF 65 came off an AC Gleaner K series. They had a valve stem opening on both sides originally tube less with both openings plugged with a rubber plug.

    Ruh-roh, that ain't good

    Try letting the tractor set for a few days then remove drain plug and drain out any water. Remove fill plug and check if its overfull. Drain any excess.

    How to fix 3 point lift.and auxilar to work at same time?

    No, however the three point will stay in the position it was in when you switch, if the system leaks down you may need to switch to three point every little while. I have been using my MF 65 like this for years, I carry a bale on the rear and a bale on the loader.

    1965 JOHN DEERE 4020 diesel rough idea of value

    I think $7,000 to $11,000 is on the low side with a 158 loader. I spent a couple of years trying to buy a 148 or 158 for my 4020 and a 158 will bring $4,000 on its own. I would say more like $10,000 to $15,000. The 15.5-38 was more common on a 4010 and might lower the price.

    Does anybody still use vertical silo's anymore

    Dug my share of broken bottom unloaders. I spent the four summers I was in college working unloader service. The last summer I worked my partner and I went on 52 digouts in a row. Dig in with the hydraulic tool, ventilate, crawl in with a torch and cut the cutter chain lose. Pull the arm off...

    Valve spring question ??

    Call Isky they will give you the correct advice. Incorrect matching of valve train components in a high-performance application will result in a failure. Sounds like big block springs and small block retainer.

    3020 carb issues

    Which carb? Zenith or MS, I recently had an adventure with the MS carb on my 4020. I had to get out the service manual and adjust the float. Check fuel pump, change filter and clean the carb. The factory setup had a screen in the carb; most have been replaced with an inline filter.

    Today’s Truck

    Nice truck. We forget that there was a time when single axel gas trucks were the majority of trucks on the road.

    Generator starts but backfires.

    When I shut down a generator after use, I drain all the regular gas and replace with REC gas with a touch of 2 cycle oil. Run the generator a bit and shut of the fuel to let it run dry. This is a bit of a pain, but I have had zero issues with generator start or operation using this procedure...
