- Project Auction Tractor continues to grow. What started as a simple antenna replacement expanded to include a new Bluetooth Hands Free Radio, new speakers, a fully cleaned headliner and more.
Link to JVC Radio I chose: amzn.to/3FB9LPP
Speakers I chose: amzn.to/3n2ASNo
Exact Deere Replacement Antenna: amzn.to/3n1RTr5
Antenna I chose: amzn.to/401A7Ts
Not sure it was any better than the original...but at least I didn't break it during install.
What I THOUGHT was a spring allowing better movement turned out to be a fake piece of plastic!

I hope you take us back to those good tractor auctions. Those are very enjoyable and very informational to watch
Hopefully we can catch the one next month. We have had to miss two in a row!
Oh that sinking feeling when ya just snapped that expensive antenna. I admire the fact it didn't deter your motivation to continue with the main goal. Nice job and it looks beautiful.
You can spray 3M scotch guard on the headliner to protect it from dirt ,it wipes clean easier
Tim, I’m glad you share your projects with the actual process and the unplanned things that happen along the way. It helps me realize that I’m not the only one that seems to have things go haywire on a project. And, if I have to rake the roof of of my tractor, I’ve got a good idea of what to expect. Thanks. Blessings.
You know with my job I am focused on economics of rebuilding machines. Cab is always an area of concern and expense. The thing about a cab is, if the operator (in this case the owner as well) feels they are in a new machine then they will perceive the machines is better. They tend to be happier operating and complain less. I think your cab restoration will for sure improve your operating experience. Nice work,
Need a video how the head liner was cleaned. Also need the radio bezel, as mine is radio-less currently. Thank you for the very informative video.
Great video. The 3520 is providing great content. I’ll be replacing the radio in my 4520 to a Bluetooth version soon. Thanks for the help. Over the years you’ve been a great help with my John Deere compact tractor journey!! 3320 open and 4520 cab.
That a/c flowing behind the radio will keep the radio cool in the summer time. My truck is the same way. Air flows through the 2 center ac vents with the head unit in the center. I guess when you have the heat on, most people have it on defrost so it’s not a big deal with heat. My head unit has a built in fan because of the bigger screen, but still gets pretty warm. Your speakers were definitely an upgrade!
A lot of people will be watching this to get to the radio and getting the top off etc. Good info👍
On my mini excavator I have the antenna pointed straight down next to the frame for protection.
You and Christy are a riot together!
Every piece of equipment I own gets a new radio and speakers for better overall sound and ease of use. I often use Kicker, they are a great speaker.
The antenna broke on my tractor too and is still broken. I will look at your solution. Thank you for sharing.
I can't say I like those solder connections very much. The part the ensures a solid bond is heating the wire & letting the solder flow to the heat, creating a solid core bond. That looks more like it's superficial on the exterior of the wire. I'd be surprised if it lasts outdoors, it would have a cold solder joint + air pocket that would crack/break. Also no way to clean the solder joint from the flux which is most likely used. Anywho, just my 2 cents from a CET / Electrical Engineer.
And if you want a strong joint, you should j-hook the two wires together, instead of feathering them. But if it works for a long time, that's cool too, i'm just a little bit worried is all.
That Ken is a trouble maker LOL. No good deed goes unpunished. You do good work and that tractor is coming along and will be a nice unit.
Tim, I understand the antenna problem. At work, we have a John Deere skid steer. We broke the radio antenna with a cardboard box twice. They are not sturdy. Thanks for the videos. Eric
I got a set of those same solder connectors and soldered 4 cables to test them out and let them set for a few minutes and come back and was able to pull them apart. The solder was like gum. I'll have to test them again.
Interesting video. All Your fixits will have the tractor in like new condition. Your antenna was free with what You saved on the axle parts! Cheers.
Your a very kind man Tim with patience like a rock. ❤ amen brother
I like your videos. This radio replacement reminded me of a project that I have planned when the weather gets warmer for my Kubota L4060 with a cab. In the past I got in the cab when it was dark and had difficulty finding switches, etc. I would have liked a light that would come on when the door is opened. My solution (yet to be executed) was to buy two small, lighted switches. I plan to mount one at each door and for them to be assessable from the ground. They will be attached with double sided tape to the front of the door frame, but positioned so that they will not be hit getting in and out of the cab. I will then leave the ceiling light "on" permanently. The lights on the switches will indicate which switch (or both switches) is keeping the light on. I wiil need to remove the roof and/or headliner to do the wiring.
Tim that was a fun episode to watch. Thanks for putting it together.
I love those new rims and tyres!:)
Good job old boy.
Tim, I’d make a metal bracket to help support the back of the radio. The reason is all that will be supporting the radio is the plastic housing it sits in. As plastic ages it becomes brittle, hence the need for the rear supporting bracket. Love the content!
When I was in high school, my friend and I was putting in a new rad in my 91 Subaru. The wiring harness we order was not the right one, plus the cars wiring was so odd, we had to get schematic of the wiring from the dealer. The dealer said my car was 100% built in Japan, and that's why nothing was matching up. After we got the diagram, we had it done in 10 minutes. This was back in 2002 when there wasn't much of internet resources available as there are today.
I would put dynomat or some other sound deadening/insulation mat above the headliner. You have it out and it is so much quieter
Nice video. You’ll go from regretting this purchase to restoring it into your favorite 😀
I have been having lots of fun with it. I guess it is all in one's attitude about it.
Hi Tim, thank for the great informative video. I enjoyed all the detail you were able to share. I can see similar details with a project I will be attempting soon.
My project is orange but I was able to see very similar issues I will have to deal with that carry over from your green tractor.
Thank you for sharing, it was very helpful. 😊 👍 I look forward to seeing the antenna and roof repair videos sometime soon. 😄 Dan
Thanks for the kind words, Dan!
Christy did a fabulous job cleaning up that headliner
though one might suspect that the finance committee is still a tad bit less than thrilled with this particular ongoing project
🤣🤣🤣
She is coming around.
It looks like your getting it together. I think that you will like the quality of $20 antenna.
Our 5m antenna broke. I bought the new one from Deere and replaced it. The new antenna was a little longer and thinner, so I positioned the top of it towards the back of the cab so that it wasn't sticking straight up (Hopefully giving me the chance to free a small tree limb if it drive into one.) I hope your spring antenna is a good solution because I'm always worried about breaking our antenna off our 3046r. I hope there is a spring antenna I can get to replace the current plastic one before I break it. (Also, why is the antenna made out of some kind of delicate pewter metal? THANK YOU for recording this video. I've had all the same concerns with our 3046r that you've addressed in this video (radio, antenna, speakers, taking the headliner out, taking the roof off. I wish there was heat reflecting material installed in the roof to keep the sun heat out of the AC system. Our cab AC in Texas just can't keep up. I also wish they would redesign the AC filter system to keep dust out better. We ALWAYS have dust/dirt when using our rotary cutter that gets around the filter and into the evaporator core and I can see where it will eventually clog up the EC and be a pain to clean out.
Hi Tim,
Great video showing the fun of removing and modifying the cab interior headliner and radio.
I was really surprised how the replacement antenna broke so easily. Very poor design.
We you careful to have the polarity consistent on both speakers? Having one backwards will make them 180° out of phase. It won't hurt them, however the low frequencies will cancel out making it sound like there is no bass sound.
Great stuff Tim, sorry I cost you some money 🤣. Well, not really 😇
Great content Tim! I noticed some new shoes for the tractor as well?!!
Tim they have short antennas instead of the long ones maybe get a shorter antenna so a tree limb doesn’t break it off
You could put a car shark fin on the roof it would have less chance of getting broke
Move the microphone to the dome light or near the radio. It will improve the signal to noise ratio and get the mic. further from the engine noise source.
If you'd move the phone microphone below the radio closer to you would help alot.
What type of cleaner did Christy use to clean the headliner?
Great improvements to the 3520, that's unfortunate about the antenna, not very durable to break like that.
Not sure, however I believe she called you windy.
you gotta get one of those flip up screens so you can watch youtube while mowing hehe
Yea!
Did she say you sounded like static? :-). Good job. You will appreciate that new radio when your using the tractor. I will be looking forward to the finished product.
You need to bend the triangler pieses of the radio instal frame to secure the radio or als it wil come out. And the conector is not only for volkswagons bud its a standard iso conector and is instald in the most brand of cars of europa .
As always, I learned something new. Volkswagen connector. Who would have thought?
Welp Tim, need to see what you finally end up spending on your auction hall when you are done. Like the radio with bluetooth,
On my jd 4230 the antenna just lays up in the roof worked good and can never get broken
Now you can listen to good ol gospel blue grass in stylec. From gary
Tim do the Midland antenna work for those? You should take a look at the long rang ones … I get 50 miles on a 15 watt radio
I hope that someone told you about the speaker phasing + to + and - to- if one of the speakers has that reversed they are out of phase and will be distorted ..
I gasped when the antenna snapped.😮
Me too! Very frustrating!
Looked kind of good without the headliner…. Matte Black…. Headliner probably gives a little better acoustics. Making that giveaway tractor look nice
I recently did the same bluetooth radio upgrade with my Side by Side and used same radio. It works really well. I will say I never use the AM/FM as I run everything thru my phone.
The AM/FM works fine for me and I just laid the antenna inside the roof console, so it’s underneath the roof and not exposed to anything. I’m sure range may be reduced but being I can get radio stations thru phone if I want so really is a non issue.
One tip…..clip those zip ties otherwise you will have to remove roof to access wire connections should ya need to pull radio again. With the slack you can just release the clips on the radio slide mount and pull it out…that’s what the two slim metal tabs are that likely came with radio.
Headliner turned out nice….what did y’all use to clean it with?
Christy used 4-5 different treatments. …and a LOT of scrubbing!
I was going to recommend that you look for one with a spring on it. Now you won't break it off easily.
Unfortunately, the one I got had a fake spring! Junk too!
Did you find a good replacement?
@@johnsullivan824 just installed my replacement today. I don’t really care for it. Someone else suggested an ‘internal’ antenna under the roof. If this one breaks, I will try that.
Do you have to have the roof of to connect the radio harness. I see that you did in the video but was wondering if it was necessary? I have the cab version that came with the radio pre wired but no actual radio.
I don’t think you need to take the roof off…but it might help, and it is easy. 13 bolts.
Good morning Tim ! Love your videos! Do you still have your 2038R?
Im interested in getting one and was wondering if your going to post more videos ect using your 2038R
Yes. Still have it. With 9 tractors now, it is hard to feature all of them. We had it in several episodes last fall. Moving the hump, installing culverts, etc.
Hey, you know what really going to hurt after you finish and the only channels are AM spanish and hiphop FM as a long viewer we know you like your hiphop music. See you bouncing down the lawn.
Yea, gotta have my hip hop :-)
First lol Anyway cool tractor
Tim, instead of cranking the radio volume when on a phone call, verify the Phone's Bluetooth Volume is all the way up. By default the phone resets it to a lower output volume so it will require adjustment almost every time you connect initially.
when did you change the tires
Showed it in a recent episode…”Worst fear”
Do you think these are the same parts for a 5e series tractor?
Likely.
Liner looks 10x better!
Yep!
Hi Tim and Christy. Tim, are going to be singing a tune with the radio on? Just asking for Christy.
Christy made that headliner look 100% better.
Yep. I’ll be Singin along having a good ole time!
Great to hear from you!
Thank you Ilmo! It took a long time cleaning! Hope you guys are doing well! Christy
Hey Tim, how you doing
Just wanted to let you know that everything here in Minnesota is business as usual spring is around the corner and that’s OK by me
would that antenna work on a 1585 or 1575?
Likely I would guess.
@@TractorTimewithTim yeah because the 1575 and 1585 have the same cab as the 3520
Why, why, oh why would you buy or think of buying one from JD? Is it supposed to only pickup green stations? ;)
Eh, forget the antenna! Bluetooth all day!
Mission Creep !
Next time you need an antenna replacement, let me know. I'm right down the road from you. I can show you better options that will cost less and last longer with better performance. Besides, I like drooling over tractors. ;)
Roof still off. I’m not thrilled with the one I’ve chosen. Lemme know!
Nicely done. The radio and speakers in my orange tractor is just basic basic although it does have weather… and i hit some major ruts last season and knocked the unit out of the mount in the cab…. So definitely fab something up to connect your head unit to that other bracket metal…
Hmm. Ok.
I can't believe what a bad design they had on that antenna. I hope someone in design saw that epic fail 😮😢
It would have been hard for me to not throw that garbage antenna across the room after it snapped off. So frustrating!
Yes, it required some discipline…but you saw my reaction right there on camera!
$500 sound system for your tractor!? Reliving your teenage years? 😅
Less than that. Buying from factory so much more than that.
All Ken's fault
Poor design on John Deere's part!
Cab looks awesome
I need a upgrade on this Kioti stereo ..........my arm is flinching now lol
