    4020 Powershift issue

    Well I got the tractor split and its bad. The clutch basket actually looks ok but the C2 shaft from the clutch basket into the transmission blew apart. Do not have a smart phone so I do not know how to send a picture, it is pretty impressive (in a sad way). I will have to do the 2nd split as...

    4020 Powershift issue

    I need to split the tractor because even though the pressures are in spec the C2 is gone. I only have 1st and 2nd gear, which use C1, every other gear that uses C2 slips and barely moves. Interesting point, Brendonh I just used universal tractor oil, my local JD dealer told me I did not need to...

    4020 Powershift issue

    Well I will be splitting the tractor. Bought some pressure gauges and went through the tests, all pressures are good. However, when I took out the C2 test plug, a bunch of black crap came out, looked like clutch material. Obviously I will need to also disassemble the shifter assembly and...

    4020 Powershift issue

    thanks. 2 reasons about the PTO brake: 1) I was out of money and did not want to tackle the 2nd split required to do it 2) the conditions I work in with lots of little parcels I am constantly taking the PTO in & out which is hard on the brake anyway

    4020 Powershift issue

    Hi there looking for some input. Had the tractor split last winter and replaced all the clutches and seals in the C1/C2/PTO basket. Got all back together and seemed to work great. A couple days ago I headed down the road with the hay bine to cut a field a few miles away, noticed that when I...

    JD 4020 PTO low pressure

    Sorry I cannot post a pic I do not have a smart phone and I taxed my tech knowledge to the limit just figuring out how to join a forum! You guys are right, it is not a 1969 (the old guy I bought the tractor from a year ago told me he thought it was a 1969 & I was just going off of that). The...

    JD 4020 PTO low pressure

    Tx Jim that nut you mentioned was loose, and the slot on the linkage actuator #9 in the diagram is all worn. There is no way that the valve was moving all the way down - will see if I can get that #9 piece from JD still. And yes, it is a 1969 but it is a strange one. A few times I have had to...

    JD 4020 PTO low pressure

    Ok will check out that linkage and nut tonight. Scott, I have a trans pressure gauge on the left side of the console and a trans temp gauge on the right. It is not a psi gauge, just has a line about 3/4 way up marked "min trans pressure at 1900 rpm". Before changing out the clutches it would...

    JD 4020 PTO low pressure

    Hi there I have a 1969 4020 power shift. The PTO was slipping under load, and whenever I engaged the PTO I noticed a drop on the trans pressure gauge, and when I tested the PTO port I only had about 8 psi showing on the gauge. So this winter I split the tractor and replaced the PTO and C1/C2...

    John Deere 4020 PTO

    Hello have a 1969 4020 Power shift I am planning to work on this winter. Suspect I need to rebuild the PTO but looking for some advice first. I have noticed 3 things: 1) PTO will slip under load - can run a 9ft haybine, but will slip if try to run a baler; 2) PTO brake not working, have...

    John Deere 4020 Powershift

    Ok got it working now! Lubed the linkage and looked into where that suction filter that was mentioned is located. Would never have guessed there was a filter there! Drained the oil and pulled it out, and yikes! It was so bad I could not even clean it so just bought another one from John Deere...

    John Deere 4020 Powershift

    Hi just bought my first ever 4020. Ran terrible when I picked it up but with adjusting the injector pump timing and installing new pencil injectors it runs like a dream now! But have an issue with the power shift. It often does not want to go forward - have to shift from reverse to forward a few...
