Here's a pic of the stock up close: ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/karnis/2011-02-21_10-51-03_498.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/karnis/2011-02-21_10-51-35_623.jpg) NICE...! As always, Karnis strikes again. Karnis, where did you find that Avatar photo? That dude must have been last runner up in a "pretty contest". DF

I played with the idea of sights, even had a NECG peep sight on hand to see how I liked it.
DF Hey DF, what were the NECG peep sights like? I considered getting the weaver style mounted one for my 9.3x62. The rifle in consideration is the one pictured below in the signature line. I really like the NECG CZ550 style peep, and wish I could get one like that mounted on the Sauer. Cheers, Troy (AL)

The weak link on the 5020s was the deferential (Unless My Memory has gone south again), or perhaps the rear axles. Anyway, the standard engines had enough go to break them! They could be beefed up a la 5030. Have fun, jack

The stock I used, the B&C Medalist, was too straight for open sights, so I returned the NECG peep. I'm working on a .404 J. and have a lead on a used Safari CZ. Those come with nice express sights. If I had a gun with the right stock set up and just a front ramp/sight, I'd get another NECG peep. For safari use, you'd have to keep it in your pocket and mount it in the field, which should be no problem. They're well built and solid. DF

Troy,
Forgot to ask about Sauer bases. From the photo, they look like Weaver bases. NECG makes several versions of their peep sight for different bases.
It looks like your express rear sight may be in the way for peep sight use, unless it can be removed. Check on line and give NECG a call.

Gunner Yeah Gunner, Kinda like those candid snap shots from various Wal-Mart's around the country that get circulated on line from time to time. It's a "cultural series" sorta thing... And the scary part, those people actually exist... DF

The weak link on the 5020s was the deferential (Unless My Memory has gone south again), or perhaps the rear axles. Anyway, the standard engines had enough go to break them! They could be beefed up a la 5030. Have fun, jack IIRC, it was the PTO shaft. It would break and was very expensive to repair, had to tear into the transmission. The 5020 wasn't one of JD's finest efforts, was heavy and clunky as I recall hearing. But, the way you've got that 5030 powered up, it should be a beast for sure. BTW, what kind of engine? DF

DF Not to turn this into a tractor thread but to my knowledge JD didnt make a 5030, the usual next step up in power was a 6030, and its engine at factory specs was rated at 175 HP. My tractor is a 1968 5020 with 4" axels, its built like a tank and its original 514 cu in naturally aspirated diesel engine was a 133 hp dog, the tractor was very sluggish. With the 4" axels, dual 38" rears and 16 paddle pulling clutch the 619 cu in turbo diesel at 300 HP is on permanent vacation around here spinnin a 20' batwing hog Gunner

I was trying to remember the 5020 JD details I heard and that was a while back. You're jogging my memory. That model was under powered and too heavy for the HP. It was the 4010 that broke PTO shafts and that problem was corrected with the 4020. Got my info crossed up. Post a picture of that monster if you can. DF

I sent Karnis some pics of my 9.3 this morning because the ones here turned out to small to see, if he posts them large you can see a good bit of that beast as the rifle is sitting on its right steer tire.
