3020 4430 front end

[Robert23239]

Hello.
I know i can find information in many places about 4020 front end conversion in order to fit one a from a 4430 .
it takes an adapter plate. Well that adapter plate won't fit a 3020 cause of the hydraulic pump sets a little below the frame rails and the adapter plate hits it.
the original 3020 front end piece had a piece that went down 2 or 3 inches to miss the pump.

so anyone know of adapter plate that fits a 3020 ?
so I can use the bigger front end.
or bigger front end option?

thanks

I know they make a 4630 conversion and also a Case heavy duty front end. I would guess it's the same adapter plate though. I have a 4430 front end under my 4010. It lists fitting a 3020. I have no experience with a 3020 but I've never heard of those conversions not fitting one. I'm pretty sure the same front end fits all those tractors.

Due to the fact that 3020's utilize the same pump support bracket(R46774) as 3010,4010,4020 & several other models I fail to see how your 3020 hyd pump could be lower than the other tractors mentioned. Could you please post a photo of the underside of hyd pump of your 3020?

I have never seen this wide frt end adapter plate for 30 series frt ends earlier model RC tractors

I have got them from Anderson Tractor parts in Bluffton Ohio,,and the same one for a 4020 will fit a 3020

Ok well maybe the frame rails are broken ?
This is a loader tractor but i just move hay with it.

This repair started with hyd pump coupling broke.
Than found hyd pump bad.
And pump little A frame was also split on one side.

More likely the front bolts through frame rails to engine block are broken / waddled out / a real mess. Loader frame will hide this destruction. Remove loader frame and be prepared for a shocking mess.

Hey TJ, how have you been. You are right. The adapters will fit both 3020 and 4020 tractors.
Those adapter plates are welded assemblies originally made by a guy in Iowa I think.
About all salvage yards had them. It gave them a market for their stronger Case front ends and
even 45/4620 fronts. After 44/4630s came out he made the plates for those fronts.
I think that guy died a few years back but someone else took over that work.
