<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...<o:p></o:p></p>

if I am wrong but there is no reverse in the highest

3010 but I would think the 4010 would be the same. A
4020 is considered by most JD people to be close to the

were quite a few engine changes made between the 4010 and
4020. Don’t know about the crank. </span><o:p></o:p></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>

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>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used to do some no-till but I
don't see a lot of no-till around me. Here they
started switching to no-till but then moved to
mulch-till and the use of speciality finishing tools
that are kind of a mix of tools all in one.<o:p></o:p></p>

<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>
