Just a farm kid...
My fiancee's gma has a JD 4010 that has been sitting atleast 10yrs, it was her late husbands. The tractor had a knock when it was parked. It is a gas tractor :9898:. The tractor itself is in great shape. The rear end and tranny were both rebuilt a year before the engine problem, has 3pt, pto, loader, cab w/ swamp box, and decent paint. The cab and loader are off and the cab has some busted windows and I'm sure the swamp box needs some work to function.
Now for my purposes it would be great if it was a 4020 Diesel. I dont carry gas with me at anytime and dont really want to. I was wondering if anyone knows if a 4020 Diesel (not sure if there is turbo diesel that will fit) will bolt up with minimal modifications? I dont need any more than ~100 hp but ~120hp would be nice since that is what my round baler is rated at. I can do some engine work and modifications if anyone knows what needs done.
I need a second tractor and I can get this one for little to nothing as long as it stays in the family. I will use it for small square baling, hay stacking, and raking mostly as well as some normal utility stuff. Dad is getting annoyed with me using his 150hp case loader tractor all the time and my gpa usually has the valtra.
Are there any good/well traveled forums that can help me here? I'm by no means a tractor guru, I just know how to get some GO out of the diesel engines in them.
THANKS
