JD 3020

[Jim Dippel]

I have a JD 3020 that I want to sell. Bought it new and I think it is a 1972 model. Serial number is 157375R. Can anyone tell me if it is a 1972, and if so, how much it might be worth? It has 3500 original hours, diesel, cab, and is in very nice shape.

WATCH EBAY FOR A WHILE FOR PRICE RANGES. GOOD 3020'S SEEM TO BE PRETTY HOT ITEM LATELY.

In the '20 days, all the cabs were aftermarket, even if the tractor parts catalog shows parts for them, it also hints at who made them.

Stolpher and Crenlo(big old box) cabs were factory options and a 3020 with either would be worth more than an add on cab.

Should be a tag on the inside if the cab is either one.Stolpher was a nice, but noisy cab. The other one, I hated.

It's a 1972 model, one of the very last ones, the last one was 157734. Do what you'd like, but if it was me, I'd try to sell your 3020 in one of the JD enthusiast publications, rather than here or TractorHouse, you'll get more money that way. Can't and won't say what it's worth, but there's lots of people looking for low-hour late-model NG tractors, and are willing to pay a premium to get them. And a lot of those folks don't read this or other internet sites.

I wouldn't sell anything I cared about on Flea-bay.

 

[Jim Dippel]

Thank you for the information. Would you be able to recommend one of the JD enthusiast publications that you feel would work well?

 

[Jim Dippel]

Oh...one more question. Do you know what the first serial number was for the 3020 in 1972? I am trying to get a handle on how many of these were built.
Thanks, Jim

The big magazines of the trade are

"greenmagazine"

and

"two-cylinder magazine"

You can look both both publications up by dooing a google search.

 

[Jim Dippel]

Thanks

The first serial number for 1972 was 154206

" Antique Power" magazine is another option.

I would still like to talk to you, Jim. Please drop me a line, if you would, at [email protected]

I am looking for a '72 3020. Thanks.

Don't think I'd bother with AP. Antique Power has always had a sort of anti-JD flavor to it. The high rollers read Two-Cylinder and Green Magazine, an ad in TC will cost you less.
