fwiw,
The only part of country living that can leave me GRUMPY is repeated visits to my local John Deere parts counter in my effort to replace the 1973(two years older than I am)4020 Diesel that my Grandfather bought, my father rebuilt, and I am trying to keep the exterior and particular the battery system from eating me alive... I coulda boughta kubota for the money I've spent...(true)

Beware of old tractors. They are mad about the lack of a retirement plan...

Regards, Matt.
No offense, but there's no such thing as a 1973 4020. I don't know when the actual production ended...maybe they made them into '73, but the models years end in 1972.
