<p>Dean there is a reverse in the highest range. When the shifter
gets worn enough it will go into high reverse. There is some sort
of lockout in that range but I can get into it on my 4010. It
really moves in that reverse...</p>

if I am wrong but there is no reverse in the highest range,
but all other range in the 4010??? I’m thinking 3010 but I
would think the 4010 would be the same. A 4020 is
considered by most JD people to be close to the best if not
the best tractor JD ever made. I suspect there were quite a
few engine changes made between the 4010 and 4020. Don’t
know about the crank. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>The Deere 4010 & 4010 w/ synchro range is a good tractor
for loader work. The reverse in every range makes it easy to
load hay and unload trailers. I need to go get my Dad's old
4010 at another farm setting i a fence row. I also picked up
a 4020 w/cab last week, I think it has a bad or broke
crank...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Cecil: I'm sure you are right... This
1155 probably came from about 3 or 4 states west of
here. My dealer friend made his fortune buying tractors
and combines and other equipment farther west and
bringing them back here to sell. He also deals in some
local stuff but most of the stuff comes from his trips
west because so much good stuff here sells too high for
a good level of profit. When Scott bought this tractor
he was not around because he was busy getting ready to
hit the road the next morning for a trip west for a
couple of large auctions. He has been hauling stuff back
here to sell for as long as I have known him and that
has been a long time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When Diana and I travelled west then
to the north-east last summer I was reminded of just how
different farming is at different locations around the
country. We had been travelling south and east for a
number of years before that. Farmers do have a lot in
common no matter where they are (especially old
tractors) but local differences can be pretty wide (and
very interesting) like different soil types, levels of
rainfall and when, erosion concerns etc. I suspect that
you would be very surprised (because I have long been
surprised) at how much moldboard plowing is still done
here in Central Indiana and especially in Rush County,
the next county east of me.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I used to do some no-till but I don't

the use of speciality finishing tools that are kind of a

<p class="MsoNormal">Field tile drainage is really bigger
than ever here in recent years and I can't really recall
the last time I got stuck doing field work. A seed corn
and food grade corn operation about 2 miles from me just
tiled a farm nearby and they ran tile (plastic) lines
about 60 feet apart all over several fields they
recently acquired. They have their own tile plow and the
tile is reasonable in cost.<o:p></o:p></p>

Believe it or not, dad bought a 966 here recently.
Acording to the<br>
serial number, it was one that came out of the factory
with a narrow<br>
front.<br>
He bought it with a wide front, but found a good narrow
front to put back on it.<br>
He wants to have it all painted up and all that crap
that his son<br>
doesn't care much about. :) Lol.<br>
The mechanical work has all been done I think. That is
what matters<br>
most to me. I care more about mechanicals and tires, not
about the<br>
paint jobs.<br>
And Spencer, when it comes to my father, everything is
for sale...<br>
