    3020 gas fuel starvation -- still

    Hi Miangus, my '72 late serial 3020 used the Zenith with the main jet adjustment on the back. I fully rebuilt it and removed the electric shutoff on the main jet during that process. This improved operation but was still not behaving as it should. I suspected a problem with the accelerator...

    3020 gas fuel starvation -- still

    I know this thread is very old, but I read it and it helped me so I'll post my reply for the benefit of others. My tractor was doing exactly what Bob in SD had mentioned. It would not start to have issues until fuel level dropped to about 1/4 tank, when gravity no longer provides enough fuel...

    RE40463 Electric Destroke Kit

    Hey tlock0331, I see this post is very old. Were you successful in making up your own electric destroke setup above? I might look to do the same. If not has anyone else made up a similar assembly for a 3020 gasser?

    3020 GAS starter

    Hi, I would agree, however I would like to note that my old gaser has already been modified with new, short, 1/O or larger positive and ground cables, and a huge Group 8D battery. I still have the original starter, which many here tend to agree is underpowered resulting is a slower rotation...

    3020 GAS starter

    I would completely concur. Are we not dealing with antique equipment here folks? Why would older threads be any less use to the group? I am involved in many other similar forums for antiques and there is no issue with old threads.

    3020 GAS starter

    Hi Mike, in general it appears that vendors offer only direct drive starter replacements for the 9 tooth gasser. One I'm looking at is a 7.5 kW unit. Any chance anyone has some history on what the torque specs were for the original Delco Remy 1107578 that came on the gasser? I had that...

    3020 gas - better aftermarket carb

    Wow, interesting comment...I'll disregard what appears a bit offside. I've owned and worked on many old school carbureted manual choke engines attached to all sorts of machines. I actually prefer manual choke over electric / automatic versions myself. I can't say I've ever run across one that...

    3020 gas - better aftermarket carb

    Thank you RR. I have modified this tractor to full Petronix electronic ignition, new coil, wires, plugs, etc. Ignition side is golden now. Do you agree with others that even when things are setup correct that choke may be required to start warm? I will certainly check my choke linkage...

    3020 gas - better aftermarket carb

    bv are you able to elaborate on the manual adjustable jet that you installed in place of the electric shut off? Mine is the Zenith as well. You also mention a kit was installed. I assume this was just a stock rebuild kit to your knowledge? I see this gentleman notes a secret fix that he's...

    3020 gas - better aftermarket carb

    Hi, I have a 1972 3020 gaser. In general I can get it running, but not cold without being plugged in. Even when warm I have to choke it to get it running. Is there a better new aftermarket or rebuilt carb that works better on these?

    3020 Hydraulic Fluid Screen Stuck

    Well too late for me with regards to a 'wash out' option. I'd be curious to know if some use clean hydraulic fluid to wash this area down to the drain plug or perhaps a solvent. I used a magnet and manually cleaned out a few items, but generally mine wasn't too bad. As an update, I was still...

    3020 Hydraulic Fluid Screen Stuck

    Well I dug in deep and quickly realized it was going to be a demo removal. A nasty task as I suspect it has never been pulled. Once the cage end broke off I had better purchase using an o-ring puller point jammed into screen face. With a GREAT deal of twisting and yanking with a pair of vice...

    3020 Hydraulic Fluid Screen Stuck

    Team, Can anyone advise the trick to removing the hydraulic fluid screen behind the plug in the side of the transmission? Is there a snap ring or something that holds it in? I'm trying to wiggle out with needle nose pliers, but it won't release. I just did the load control shaft, bushings...

    '72 3020 Gas - Hard Starting Warm

    Someone noted that pre 1968 the Zenith's didn't have the solenoid and that the needle and spring from the older can be used to replace the one with the hole in it to accept the fuel shutoff needle. The carb pics on JD site look completely different however. 01E18 old Zenith -...
