I know of an older 3020 that has a bad engine and some other issues but the feeling is the Power Shift in that was good. Somebody was saying the parts would fit from the 3020. I see some part numbers are the same but some are not. What do you think? [Reply]   [No Email]

The PS front clutch pack drum(R59494) is common to the 2520 & late model 3020 but according to JD not the early model 3020 [Reply]  [No Email]

He bought it several years ago and it showed signs of serious neglect (the oil among the other issues) but he said he bought it cheap and knew there was a risk to the tractor. He is trying to find a cheap way out but has plenty of other tractors so he is not desperate. I just know of a guy that is trying to unload a 3020 gas with a bad motor and maybe he could do better selling to this guy versus a yard. He's already taken the good sheet metal, tires, remote valves and coupler bodies off for other projects. [Reply]  [No Email]

I have a 4960 in here now that needs the Planetary brake pack RE237934 $10,700 [Reply]  [No Email]
