3020 4230 engine swap Think we might Do It

RBnSC · Jul 26, 2013

Thought about it and think we may do it. 3020 worked fine other than the engine. We have a complete 4230 that the engine is good (has other problems)have most of a 4020 parts tractor. I don't know just seems like a fun challenge.Do yall think the hood from a 4020 would work? We have one but the front beat to snot. Probably do it around Christmas.

4020 hood should fit with the 4230 engine.

RB would you be interested in selling any of the parts off your 4020? If you would let me know and I could email you.

Thanks

You can make anything "fit" any where with enough work. You are going to have to use the frame rails and hood from the 4020. The only real issue will be the controls. You are going to have to make the throttle control/linkage. It will be the little stuff that take the time. Like extending all of the hydraulic lines that go to the pump. It is not rocket science but it will take time/money/thinking.

When your done you need to remember you now have a larger engine in a tractor designed for a smaller one. So the brains will be in the tractor seat. Meaning if you do not watch what you are doing you can easily tear up the rear end with the larger engine.

Good luck and have fun!!!

That would become an updated 4000? Right?
