Diesel has its place and gas has it's place that's my motto grew up with both of them on the farm and loved running all of them

I personally love GAS tractors and I have a IH 606 GAS😊

That 4020 they did a really nice job restoring it. Paint looks very nice

When I first seen the title I figured this was going to be a carburetor video. I'll be, that aluminum square of sadness wasn't the problem. The mere sight of one of those carbs triggers memories of past trauma. You sure got it running nice with that new distributer. By ear none the less.

I'm glad I am not the only one who had difficulty trying to figure out those Deere gear shifters. One of my relatives had a 1967 3020 gas in the late 80s and I could never figure it out.

Watching Ross the oliver man ride the struggle bus with the deere shifter is great

Great video Ross, I wasn't expecting to see a 4020 on this channel. I just purchased a 67 4020 ps diesel, the engine was bad which I knew and am in the process of inframing it now. The tractor lived it's life here in Aroostook County potato country and it looks it. I'm in hopes some day it will look as good as the one here. I suspect it won't get that good of a resto but I will for sure try to come close. I'm not a farmer but have some field work to use it for. Just enough to keep it around after I retire.

My dad has two Farmalls, a '47 C and a '65 140. Other than rebuilding the generators and new points & condensers the motors are stock. Original valves, rings, seats, bearing. The '47 C has only had the valves adjusted three times in 77 years. The 140 once. And your right, they have straight pipes and sound great. Just pulled a cultipacker with the '47 yesterday. Ran perfect.

Hey Ross, , gotta say, , pretty nice 4020. Sound was great, , and you seemed to be having fun with it😅😅😅

[dillinpicklesworth]

If the wheels were white, it would fire right up!😉🤣👍

[markflick]

Doesn’t matter what color they are, when they’re pretty, they’re pretty . When they run good, we’ll you know . Great video Ross, see ya tomorrow

[keithwuchter]

Good video Ross. Good to see you got old John going again. Thanks for sharing.

[mattwilkinson]

Very nice. Grew up on 4020s. Good video Ross

[benalten]

Starting to enjoy the Ross videos more and more. Something to be learned off every video even if it’s a Deere.

[danielwinger]

You should start Mechanics Without Borders! Just like the medical Drs., you work on any brand to give it a chance. I bleed Orange but I am glad to see these older units still running. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to entertain us!

[mikei]

Lol watching you shift the 4020. I was the same way the 1st time I drove my grandpa's 3020.

[rog]

Boy that is a rare 4020, you rarely see a late model side console 4020 in a gas version. That one is worth some money as a collector piece. Pretty nice one too.

[Nick-tzvl]

The old synchro range transmissions are so easy to use and understand, I don't get why people have a hard time with them. That old gasser has one hell of a growl to it! Sounds so good.

[Oliver-kvmm]

I have 1972 4020, that l could never get running right. It finally lost coolant and took out a main bearing. Luckily I found a 1969 diesel for it. The original problem turned out to be a worn lower bushing in the oil pump, the points could not be set properly. The diesel made it aa much better tractor.

There's always a convenience of having a gas chore tractor in the winter...
