One side of the shaft is leaking bad. Hopefully the rebuild kit will
solve it!!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi John. I did indeed join that group on
Facebook, and already posted a quick note about buying this
tractor. I’d been a member several years ago as well but
eventually signed off since (at the time) I didn’t have a 10
or 20 series tractor and was getting bogged down with too many
Facebook groups. But clearly the time is now right to come
back. :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also am a member of the “Classic Green”
FB group and posted about the tractor there as well, and right
away someone noticed it has the original Marvel-Schebler
carburetor—which evidently has a rather dismal performance
record—instead of a Zenith. When I test drove the tractor it
started easily but did tend to stumble and require fiddling
with the choke even while I was driving it around, so the
Facebook comments about the carb weren’t really a surprise.
I’m going to replace the original carb with a Zenith from
Roberts Carburetor Repair, but they have a long backlog of
orders so I’ll have plenty of time to tinker with the
Marvel-Schebler.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Was your loadshaft leaking at the seals?
I ran into that with the 3020 I’d owned way back when. One
of those little nuisance things with an old tractor. Hope
your rebuild process goes quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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">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>
