I HIGHLY encourage you toe join the 10 ans 20 series Deere group on
Facebook. I grew up with 2 4020's and the knowledge in that group is
amazing. One of the guys there guided me through converting my 24
volt system to 12 volt. We did it better than any of the aftermarket
kits. I have to rebuild the loadshaft now, guys there told me where
to go to get a kit better than what Deere has.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">25 years ago I bought a 1965 gas-burning
3020. Didn’t know hardly anything about them, or about that
series of tractors in general, but it had a shiny coat of
paint on it and I was at a place in life where it felt
important to buy a tractor. I sold it a few years later,
having learned a few thousand dollars’ worth of lessons about
the problems those tractors can have.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In recent months I’ve again felt the desire
to buy a tractor, and yesterday I became the third owner of
this 1967 gas-burning 3020. It’s got a few issues for me to
tinker with, but it’s about as clean and original as one could
ask for—with only a little over 3200 hours on the original
working tach. I think and hope I’m a bit wiser of a buyer
than I was 25 years ago, but the coming years will tell the
tale. In the meantime, dang, it’s fun to have a new toy!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Or to be precise, to have a new toy picked
out and paid for… I still have to arrange for it to be hauled
about 200 miles from where it sits to my place. All things in
time. :)<o:p></o:p></p>
