My grandpa had a 3020 gas that he bought a few years old. It was the only tractor he kept when he quit farming and sold off the farm and equipment. I used to ride with him after that plowing tobacco and such. The tractor has sat outside the majority of its life. It has a crappy rattle can paint job. That s half peeled off. The hood has a nice dent in the front. Air cleaner is all wrapped up in a trash bag because the bowl broke. None of the gauges work. None of the lights work. 3pt adjustments are all froze up and possibly the cable. Both side tins are gone and the Spears that day John Deere. It needs brakes, ($800+ for only labor) he ran it that way for a several years. I couldn t tell you the last time the oil was changed, air filter, etc any maintenance was done. I can try to help get pictures to upload.
It is a
1968 John Deere 3020 gas
Syncro
1 remote
16.9x38 tires that were new 10 years ago but have set out
5600 hours on meter but probably closer to 6,000
Wide front
I was wanting some help and opinions on if this tractor is to far gone to bother buying. Or if I should buy it, and at what cost. I have many memories with him on it but I feel it would take atlesst $2,000 to get it to be useable. I need to purchase a tractor to help with my small farm instead of borrowing equipment. Work full time and try to get 100 acres tillable taken care of on weekends and nights. I was originally looking for something 100HP+ and didn t need work..
If anyone has any advice I would be all ears..hate to let it go but I think it is maybe in my best interest to save the serial number and keep track of who buys it..

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
