    4020 to paint or not to paint???

    One of the best restorers in the country told me he sometimes talks people OUT of repainting tractors if the original paint can be buffed, etc. Thinking is a tractor only has its original paint once. Everybody has their own thoughts but I'd pay more money for a tractor with good original paint...

    seperating a 70

    I can't tell you where to look at a manual on the Internet. I bought mine from Deerly Departed (now Davenport Tractor). Their manuals are exact reprints of the originals. Hope this helps. Bill.

    6329d vs 6359d

    The 6329 is a shorter stroke engine. The crankshaft, pistons and fuel system calibration will be difference. A few other parts may be different based on the application, check your parts books. Externally both engines look the same. The 6359 is more popular just because it produces more...

    Cummins Smoking

    Are you sure your fuel is clean? Winter fuel is a little lighter with slightly less lubricating ability but I don't think this is it. I'd try a new fuel filter first, it is cheap and easy and it is a maintence item anyway. Is your fuel mileage okay? No low power? Hope this gives you some...

    JD collection Auction vs. selling outright

    The Two Cylinder Club is having their annual Expo in Waterloo, IA the last week of June. The final day is a large auction of tractors (some as nice as yours). Anyway, collectors from all over the country will be at the event. I don't know anything about commission, etc. However, they do...

    4320 engine problems

    I have seen this many, many times on wet sleeve diesel engines. Liner pitting is caused by small air bubbles forming on the O.D. if the liner. The bubbles implode causing pitting. You are correct, using antifreeze designed for diesel engines with quality water and an additive to prevent...

    You know of any salvage yards with any 7520 4X4 parts

    I have not driven a 7520 but my brother did for quite a while and also worked for a Deere dealer. He said it was a cheap tractor (vs a new one). Biggest complaint is noisy cab, can probabily be improved with noise absorbing material. Also, I hear the 7020 annd 7520 are not the easiest...

    6 row head

    A friend of mine has a Deere 7720 and it never seems to lack power with a 6 row head. He maintains a good ground speed too.

    Help! 99 F-250 7.3 Overheating!!!

    Are you filling the radiator (through the cap) with the engine cool? The plastic fill tank should heep it full. If you fill the cooling system with the engine hot through the radiator cap the system never will build up pressure and will boil at 212 deg. If the above is not a problem (simple...

    2950/55 vs 4040/4050

    Which would be the best route to do, with a 2950/55 or a 4040/4050? The 2950/55 series is easier to find but it is a lighter tractor with a smaller engine. I have never driven one but imagine you have to shift gears a lot to keep the RPM's up under heavy loads. Does the 2950/55 MFW assist give...

    Warning on doing business w/ DeerelyDeparted.com

    They called Industrial Tractors (normally painted yellow) "Wheel Tractors" during this era. I guess this was to avoid confusion with tractors with tracks (normally thought of today as crawlers). Bill.

    charging 2 batteries..correct hook up

    It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around but I have had better luck disconnecting the batteries and charging them one at a time. Just make sure your charger is set to the correct voltage for the battery being charged. Just passing on my experience, do whatever works best for...

    Original John Deere Paint Formula

    I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. But, the paint has changed slightly several times over the years. Removal of lead, different suppliers, etc.
