The first tractor I got to drive was an old Farmall B. when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old, in 1967. Next year I graduated to the 4020 diesel. I loved them both, but I quickly became partial to the 4020, even though I taught myself to drive a standard on the old Farmall! This was on my Aunt and Uncle's large dairy farm in Northeastern Iowa.
The 4020 is one of the most iconic tractors ever. My uncle had a 3020 with an AM radio bolted to the fender, the hot setup back in the day for a teenage boy like me! 😁 🚜
I love it that you show when things don't go according to plan -- because that's exactly how farming goes. Hookup connections aren't the same size, need an adapter - yep, that's typical. That shows what really happens for farmers merging newer and older equipment. Thanks!
Laura, About a decade ago I retired from a company that sells all kinds of shop supplies for farm and industry. Go on line to see their catalog, which includes the famous Williams hand tools. They will supply cabinets for your fastener needs. They very likely have a representative in your area. The company is Lawson Products and is an American company. You can also start an account and order on line. A great company! Oh, I live in Tennessee and am an old [83 yrs. farm boy! lol! Have a great year!
Hi guys, run don't walk from the Snap On truck. HFT Ikon combo wrenches are every bit as good for your applications at about 1/3 the cost. Best of luck at the Wrecker Games. Rory is one of the best.
OMG... reminds me of growing up!! My grandfather had a JD 4020. I spent many hours as a kid standing between the fender and the seat next to him working the land! Laura, you're right, it was used as an umbrella holder... :-)
In 1965, I drove a brand new 4020 demo off of a 4 foot loading dock and lived to tell the story! The old mechanics referred to me as a John Deere test pilot. I love 4020s.
My Uncle worked at John Deere in Waterloo, IA in the 60's and he came up with the idea to put hand holds in the fenders so it would be easier to climb up onto the tractors.
The guy that doesn't want to see the Hay Day endorsement has a right to his opinion, regardless of how others think. If he was reaching to leave over a 90 second blurb for a game, then he was looking for a reason to spout off and to leave. You keep doing what you've been doing and you will be alright. I like the fenders for the 4020. Girl, you can take some high steps! Wow! I am still amazed at your eagerness to lift and move things bigger than you. Keep your noses in the breeze, and keep doing what you all have been doing. It's pretty evident that you're doing things right; the farm is thriving and growing, you all are key memners of the community. Much respect for you, Grant and Gage.
Hi everyone, my neighbor; employer had bought a ‘69 4020 D / cabless then installed that same cab way better! Then bought a 4430 (felt like I was in heaven) lol / now finishing touch on rockin your driveway cover it up with some 3/4- BN rock from Martin Marietta / Guernsey WY / the fines will stop the big rock moving around almost like concrete when packed down plus it’s a pretty reddish color/ it can be hauled in a grain hopper so truckin freight cost can be reasonable to deliver to you!!! 👍✌️❤️❤️❤️ ps 3/4 minus BN rock has 3/4” rock plus smaller fines rock ❤️
Keep up the good work you two! As a long time mechanic, I see some smoke coming from the exhaust stack which means it is running rich on fuel. It also sounds like it isn't running on all cylinders. This could be from a fouled spark plug from running too rich.
The 4020 is cool. But put a ROPS bar on it for safety and a canopy on that to protect you from the sun. And the 2 step attachment for boarding the tractor. I would like to agree about the umbrella holder, but you really need to have the ROPS.
The 4020 is too cool. I'm really excited to see it get used. I read an article a while back that said that many farmers were going back to using old tractors because they are more reliable than the new ones because of all the electronics in them. Really curious to see how this year goes.
I'm showing my age but the 4020, and 5020, were the big tractor when I was working in the fields. I learned to drive tractor with the 830. They were all diesel. I really injoy this video.
I always struggled with hooking the pto up and then I started some pre hook up procedures and one was before I even backed up to an implement I would make sure the pto would slide up and down the shaft and then I would clean the actual pto hook up and grease it and that solved most of my hook up problems
Neat old 4020. Nice thing about that model is that there's still oodles of parts available. If this is your first older machine, that 4020 probably has the old style JD hydraulic couplers. When they start to leak (and they will) you can change out the cartridge so they take the new ISO fittings, so no adapters needed. In addition to the fenders, a great safety addition is the 2 point ROPS bar, and then put the 2 post canopy on top. Great summer machine, safe, and you work in the shade. If you're needing a winter project, and finances allow, the 4020 can be converted to a newer style 404 or 466 diesel engine from one of the -40 or -50 series machines with minimal fuss. Maybe out of a 4040, 4240, or later 4050. Don't even need the turbo version, just need the diesel efficiency. Toss that battery over to the right side of the machine so you can use the step. :)
Love the 4020 and the 3020, back in my teen years on the farm I got to pull a disk with the 3020, and a spring tooth on the 4020. Great tractors. We got them brand new in 1968.
Yep, Parker ag quick connects don't fit those old JD quick couplers. A couple of adapters and you'll be all set. As far as the brush hog tie the shaft to the tractor and get to start moving, then exercise it and get some powdered graphite to lube it with, grease will collect and hold the dust and grit.
When you first talked about the beautiful warm sunny day, I wondered if Pepper would appear in the video. Lo and behold, Queen Pepper in her radiant shiny coat! That cat has no problem mounting the 4020. Cool cat!
Hi Laura we had the same little Tractor at are Farm to . Only ran Gas ... Great Tractor and it's good to see Miss Pepper 🌶️ .... Up on next to her buddy on the Tractor... It's great to see anything you guys buy and restore them up again God bless you Both and your family and Animals 😮❤
Living in constant sunshine could get old after a while, Utah weather is cozy, that's why my entourage and I bounce to Vegas frequently! We bring the boys along, as well. You should come! Grant would enjoy the different casino flavors. I love the buffet's, Luxor especially. Ethnic food choices go on and on...
I have been a customer of snap-on tools for over 30 years. Your first trip into there truck, you will be leaving with more then one socket. There layout in the truck is for instant sales. Enjoy
Reminds me of 'Green Acres' - 'Farm livin' is the place for me' - That 4020 Rocks. Just think, back in the day it was State of the Art, newest and best John Deere had to offer. Ever wonder in 35 years what farming will be like for your kids?
Love your channel Laura. You have such joy and enthusiasm in your heart and I love your projects. You are truely blessed and a blessing to 1000s! Cheers from NZL, David💚💛
Some have said that God made the 4020, and gave it to JD to sell. They were the creme de la creme in the late 60's, especially for the up and coming farms. Red 1066 was a match for them, and I was raised Green. Old doesn't mean unusable. I'm only a few years younger than the 4020 model....😮
Good video Laura.. Change the John Deere couplers to pioneer and Battery change before the Cab and Fenders... My 4230 had to be changed 35 years ago!! Hasn't sputtered at all and then Grant tripped!! "My guess Laura the young ones Grant are not as good as John built in the sixties...."
This farmer I know maintains his gravel equipment yard on his farm with a spring tooth that he drags around behind his pickup... What it does is it keeps the gravel exposed and up on top so that a tire can't go through and splash debris out of the mud puddle and... Understand... the tire can't make contact with any water if the gravel is up on top.... So you just drag that spring tooth around once a month... You will never have any mud puddles... And your equipment yard will stay nice and flat.... And will have a wonderful maintained look to it.
13:48 One of my cats, Miss Stripes, this BEAUTIFUL tortoiseshell and white striped cat, is following me everywhere. She sits on the arms of my chair in the office when I'm here. She gets up close and wants me to hold her when I'm doing prayers. She wants to sleep with me in bed at night; she buries herself under the covers. Last night, when she realised I was going to bed, she came running! When I go out to work on my farm, she acts like she wants to go out with me, but, she's a house cat. She lived outside for a while before I finally managed to get her. She was abandoned and somehow, she managed to walk about half a mile to my farm. She also loves to watch me when I play my farm sim.
Yeah the neutral/park safety switch on those tractors was kinda a pain. Every time I go to start our 4010 I make sure to give the shifter a bump just to make sure the switch is contacting.
Laura you do what you want on your videos, you make them and if you want to advertise something worthwhile than you do that. I love your videos as they are keep upbthe great job, it's nice that you put an old tractor back to work even tho you have all that technology setting around
If you're going to go see the Snap On guy bring money. They are great tools and I used them myself when I was an Aircraft Mechanic but just remember professional tools are in a different class and cost category.
@@p71collector Don't know - been away from that world for a while. I do know that a set of 6ea I/4" drive 12 point swivel sockets I got back in the 80's for about $80 is now $348.75 and you have to have them to work on small turboprop engines and nobody else makes them. I'm talking about 6 sockets you can hold in the palm of your hand.
As a single digit aged kid I remember when the 3 semis pulled into our drive and unloaded our first 4020s direct from the factory, then spent 2 days watching the local dealers crew prepping them all for use in cold mid-Feb. weather.
I spent many hours sitting on the fender of a 4020 as my Grandpa worked his fields. He would add dual rear to pull through the fields and I accidentally stepped on the hydraulic pedal that drew the wheels together and when Grandpa went to turn we just plowed straight forward. That is when I learned what that foot switch did!
Hi Laura. Don't think you'll be able to float the gears when you shift the ole 4020. Tell Grant to go back where the fenders where and see if the two-step ladder is laying there. Makes gettin on a lot easier.
We had a 4020 and a 4520 when we farmed. Neither had a cab. But we had a umbrella on the 4020. You could get a mount from the John Deere dealership that mounted on the fenders. We also had a 4620 that did come with a cab.
Anytime you work with something new to you there is going to be a learning curve. Y'all handled it with a smile as for me I would have kicked tires ,threw my hat down................!
Please get the correct u bolts to mount the fenders correctly to the slots in the final drives. The u bolts will keep them from moving or twisting. You do not want them to move out into the tire when you are moving! Also get some John Deere Multi-Purpose spray lube TY6350. It is a penetrant and has lube in ii. Works a lot better than WD40. Do not use WD40 on lug nuts or lug bolts mounting wheels because it will dry out and be harder to loosen next time. Same goes for all bolts and nuts. Use this TY6350 and it leaves an oil that will stay there for easier removal. WD40 is a water displacement (WD) not a lubricant. Good luck on your 4020!
I worked in a garage for my brother-in-law when I was a teenager and I found out that the Snap-On truck is when you know that you have outgrown the candy store. It would be fun to see you do a video of visiting a Snap-On truck but, since your primary goal is to fix things to use to farm and not fix things for a living, you can get tools to do the job and not spend as much money. Another thing is, when you use an impact to tighten nuts, you do not need to hold the bolt for the most part.
WD40 is good stuff!!! And thank you so much for putting up those short videos about scammers! They are all over and you are so popular that they are attracted to you. Never quit trying though because there are so many who love to see you and Grants farm life! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Hi Laura and Grant, say that JD paint is awesome, i washed my 1980 about 4 times then waxed her, you do that and the tractors will be almost the same color
It is kind of nice getting some good weather considering last month we were all freezing to death, and the powerlines were breaking. Down here in northern Kansas.
Howdy from still cool southern Ontario. Laura just as a FYI, when you spray the threads of a bolt, and then tighten the bolt, the torque applied is doubled. Enjoy the video journey, keep them coming. Ciao.
20 years ago, the CEO of John Deere was asked, what is the worst tractor they ever made?, He replied the JD 4020, cause it was solid and every farmer could fix it…..it was a great tractor!
SnapOn tool truck would love to see you. In my 45 years of turning wrenches I think I bought my tool dealers a few condos. But seriously, I’ve lost snap on tools the same as I’ve lost harbor freight and husky tools.
Don’t buy snap-on unless you intend to make your living with their tools. Harbor Freight has good tools--buy their “best” ones. Or buy Craftsman from Lowe’s, Napa, or the like.
It sounds like the 4020 has a valve issues. You can see by the the rain cap on the muffler is bouncing up and down it should be held up when idling and you should run regular unleaded gas with a lead additive, gasohaul should not be used . Be safe ❤️🌹🙏✌️👋
Grind the fender mount lower plates smooth and spray them green to look lots better. Yes you need different batteries and batt boxes meant for John Deere.
Please fab up a roll bar for the 4020.. obviously; with a yellow umbrella attached .. seriously tho.. i doubt you will find any statistics on-line as to how many lost their lives to that era of tractor. Not just JD.. They all came without safety in mind. Take it from a very old hand. The numbers are substantial. Anyway.. got my Pepper fix.. much love and Thanks so much for sharing
I don't know if you know this or not, but the pto on that tractor is interchangabl from 540 to 1000 rpm. That electrical system is 24 volt. Needs a 24-volt battery unless it was changed to 12 volts.
@user-ui5zj2ss1t correct, are 4010 was 24-volt, and we changed it for it would kick the starter in gear burning it out. Made it expensive, changing when it did. 12 resolved the issue.

The john deere 4020 is a legend of a tractor.good to see you are keeping
the 65 ,4020 alive.
My Uncle worked at John Deere in Waterloo, IA in the 60's and he came up with the idea to put hand holds in the fenders so it would be easier to climb up onto the tractors.
Used them every day on my farmer friends 3020 and 4020. Great idea!!
Neat idea but like a GMC forgot to put the step gate on it and not every lady can lift her leg like Laura!
Those handle are appreciated. Necessity is the mother of invention
@@davemurphy2774 Battery was ratchet strapped to sit on the step. Actually they came with two steps, but the lowest one never survived long.
Been and toured the waterloo plant twice. Really enjoyed watching them build tractors

Yep, Parker ag quick connects don't fit those old JD quick couplers. A couple of adapters and you'll be all set. As far as the brush hog tie the shaft to the tractor and get to start moving, then exercise it and get some powdered graphite to lube it with, grease will collect and hold the dust and grit.
4020 has way more class than new ones
“You can come visit if you want” made me crack up.

WD40 is good stuff!!! And thank you so much for putting up those short videos about scammers! They are all over and you are so popular that they are attracted to you. Never quit trying though because there are so many who love to see you and Grants farm life! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Hi Laura, here in southern Brazil there was a drought and we lost all corn production, we had no irrigation
Here on the other side of the equator, we never know what to believe about Brazil's ag production. How big of an area was affected by the drought?
Yeah I'm glad to see you Laura it's about 70° here today❤
Once again… THE best looking tractor of all time!
Hey I hope you painted it that tractor deserves a little love lol !!
I LOVE 😍 ❤THAT 4020 TRACTOR 🚜 I ALWAYS WANTED ONE
Hi Laura and Grant, say that JD paint is awesome, i washed my 1980 about 4 times then waxed her, you do that and the tractors will be almost the same color
Love the 4020 grew up driving one of those on my papwpaw's farm
I love the 4020 it's so beautiful 😍!! I am a john deere man till I die!!
Please also add a ROPS for that 4020. Enjoy the old iron!
It is kind of nice getting some good weather considering last month we were all freezing to death, and the powerlines were breaking. Down here in northern Kansas.
The tractor looks awesome, but it really needs a roll cage
Yep, I live in SoCal and I'm looking forward to moving back to Oklahoma. I miss having real seasons.
Sometimes even the nicest weather days have there issues. Better luck tomorrow! 😁
Мне нравятся трактора без кабин,ты словно в кабриолете,свободный как ветер))
Howdy from still cool southern Ontario. Laura just as a FYI, when you spray the threads of a bolt, and then tighten the bolt, the torque applied is doubled. Enjoy the video journey, keep them coming. Ciao.
20 years ago, the CEO of John Deere was asked, what is the worst tractor they ever made?,
He replied the JD 4020, cause it was solid and every farmer could fix it…..it was a great tractor!
First tractor I drove was a 4020 pulling a Donahue through a hayfield.
SnapOn tool truck would love to see you. In my 45 years of turning wrenches I think I bought my tool dealers a few condos.
But seriously, I’ve lost snap on tools the same as I’ve lost harbor freight and husky tools.
Love you and Grant doing all this work!
Lovin’ the 4020 with its fenders instead of the cab, but DAGUMMIT, I’m now hooked on Hay Day!!
Y’all are living a dream. Keeping working hard. Love your videos.
As always a great episode, I just love the fun you guys have with this old gear.
Don’t buy snap-on unless you intend to make your living with their tools. Harbor Freight has good tools--buy their “best” ones. Or buy Craftsman from Lowe’s, Napa, or the like.
It sounds like the 4020 has a valve issues. You can see by the the rain cap on the muffler is bouncing up and down it should be held up when idling and you should run regular unleaded gas with a lead additive, gasohaul should not be used . Be safe ❤️🌹🙏✌️👋
Congratulations on locating those fenders, guys!
That round gravel your showing will never pack firm. Crushed stone is angular and interlocks when compacted.just a suggestion.
Good morning,and come away armed with inspiration and practical tips to put in action for your farm team!
FOR SURE get a role bar on that tractor ASAP for safety reasons!
Grind the fender mount lower plates smooth and spray them green to look lots better. Yes you need different batteries and batt boxes meant for John Deere.
I love that old 4020. I have a 1/16 Ertl diecast of a 4020 that looks just like yours only smaller.
For sure back in the day the 4020 was the tractor to have. Everybody and their grandma had one. First tractor I learned how to drive.
My uncle has two 4020 diesels. One is a manual shift, and one shift on the fly. They're real workhorses.
Just go to 7:28 for exactly what you came for. Dream on, bubba. Dream on.
Looks like the only thing missing on the 4020 is a roll bar. Be safe and keep having fun.
Please fab up a roll bar for the 4020.. obviously; with a yellow umbrella attached .. seriously tho.. i doubt you will find any statistics on-line as to how many lost their lives to that era of tractor. Not just JD.. They all came without safety in mind. Take it from a very old hand. The numbers are substantial. Anyway.. got my Pepper fix.. much love and Thanks so much for sharing
I don't know if you know this or not, but the pto on that tractor is interchangabl from 540 to 1000 rpm.
That electrical system is 24 volt. Needs a 24-volt battery unless it was changed to 12 volts.
The 24 volt systems used 2- 12 volt batteries
@user-ui5zj2ss1t correct, are 4010 was 24-volt, and we changed it for it would kick the starter in gear burning it out. Made it expensive, changing when it did. 12 resolved the issue.
24 volt was on diesels only not gas tractors
@@davecramer9725 OK, ours was deisel. Did not know there was a difference. Thank you.
At the 6:03 mark...SUPER---DUPER---NICE ☺😍🖒🤘
Large machinery is an effective tool in the construction industry
I am enjoying watching the work on the 4020. I bought that t-shirt last fall; and I wear it here in northeast Missouri.
