Loved the optimism of the two guys stood to the side, 'Is it going to work?' total shrug of shoulders, brilliant. Looks a 100 times better even with taking off that daft canopy. Its going to be a really good tractor when everything is done, looking forward to the next film.
Even with the vines it's beautiful... I love that series of Deere's. The 5020 and 6030 are my favorite. The 7520 is my favorite articulated. Thanks for saving it...
works better to put the snatch block pulley on the tractor your towing, takes half the pull to get it on the trailer, and doesn't pull sideways on trailer
Nothing runs like a Deere with an International pulling it! Lol. Although I am an International man, it's great to see someone take a John Deere in that condition and get it back running again and putting it back to work. No matter what the make is, old tractors are much better than the new ones and will be running long after the new ones are all gone given the chance. With the electronics, once these new tractors sit in the bush for 30 years, they would be scrap, as the electronics won't revive. It will be great to see this tractor turning dirt again.
I love it, save that old iron! I recently saved my first tractor, just a little 8N Ford. I love seeing old equipment put back to use! Just because it isn’t the newest or have the most options doesn’t mean it is useless.
I've been a flat bed tow operator for 20 yrs. I took 2x8s all thread and 2 eye bolts and made my own skid plates they work when the front tires move and you don't want them to. I've also bar soaped the bottoms where wood on wood builds heat and the bar soap acts as a lube. Even if the rear tires are locked up or flat these boards come in handy. They make neoprene skates plates for 4x4s and AWDs cause the front wants to go forward and the rears want to go backwards when in 4WD.just a thought to make your witching experiences run all soomther
any sign of coolant in the oil is an indication your doing a lot of work to be disapointed with the end results find and fix that problem first or disapointment is the best result you can logically expect
sometimes from sitting the cluches can grow bacteria on them well moss mold whatnot and make the clutch act up a Lil bit but overall it sounds nice he'll throw a bigger turbo on it and a few upgrades do thesled pulls on off seasons lol
Every 4020 and 5020 that people in this country wanted to work had turbos added, had to be careful with them because they would score a cylinder very easily
Scout around some of the JD skidder wheels and tires are bolt on , the timber guys have their own tastes in sizes and shapes JD dealers end up with the takeoffs behind the shops can be picked up for much less than new .
As long as that tractor sat, if it was me, I'd pull the clamps off and inspect the turbo quick, make sure the impeller spins and the shaft is tight, also make sure the oil feed line is good and clear, not collapsed or cracked. Nice find boys!
We use to have a 5020 . We put a turbo on it and turned it up to 210 hp . Was a great tractor as long as we kept the hired man out of it. The hired man got it hot and put cold water in it and cracked the block on it and had water in the oil.
That’s a 5020 row crop because of the cut down dust shied on the platform and the row crop fenders. The front axle should be adjustable also. Good find especially with a turbo installed.
Excellent Video Brandon :) I Lol when saw come out exhaust stake look like mouse home went boom out like rocket 🚀 near Dads Strength hope you all seen that 👍 and never drove this John Deere tractor type but have on 4010 Desiel with Loader plus was 2 wheel drive my cousin Ronald has great one too !
Hints, pay attention to pyrometer, them Ole girls will melt #6 piston real easy, plug in bottom of tank, should be a petcock, suppose to open on occasion, drain water etc
Those fuel filters were unavailable and back ordered at my dealership. I ended up buying a case of Wix filters from my auto parts store. That should last me into the next administration. I believe Donaldson made those filters for Deere to begin with. Probably just can't keep up with rebranding them.
Nice save guys! I'm a die hard IH guy but I love seeing old rigs brought to life!! I run RED but I will admit I pull some green.😁 Be safe, just found your channel and subbed.
You boys got yourself a good lookin old piece of equipment there, it just needs a little TLC, once you get everything took care of, that thing will spin right off and crank up right on the money.
That tractor could not been sitting there as long as it took that brush to grow water and residue should be all over the alternator I don't think that tractor set to long should fire up.
What amused me is the three guys standing round, rather than helping : ). Does the steering not work at all if the engine's not running? Usually proportional ps will still steer a little bit by winding and winding the steering wheel
🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOD BLESS JOHN DEERE GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS ALL FARMS YOU KNOW WE TRULY EXPECT YOU TO DROP THAT DAMN YOU ALL RIGHT DOWN IN THAT FUEL THING YOU DO KNOW THAT RIGHT YOU GOT LOOKED AT TIME NOOOOOO Y JUST JOKING JUST JOKING WE REALLY DID MAKE YOU DO IT
Looks like the average tractor here in Medina County, Tx. Especially after Ronnie Reagan's 1984, and 1987 Farm bills. "Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town"
O-light is a no go. A dude fuckin died working on his car with one. He had it in his mouth, the battery exploded and it killed him, AND O-LIGHT EVEN STATED THAT HE WAS USING THE CORRECT BATTERY. This wasn’t an isolated incident either. Their weapons lights are known to be defective and potentially dangerous as well.

Thanks your video is very interesting
Thanks for taking it back to life.
Love old deeres thats gonna be sweet
Hello from Alabama I am 4th generation farmer thank you so very much for your videos
I'm invested in seeing more of this machine back to its glory.
5020 is a great old tractor...especially if it has a turbo on it. Can't wait to see it in action.
we had two of those 5020s when my dad still farmed. both of them had m&w turbos on them. we really liked them and they really rode good
I love how the whole family is out while the tractor is being started. thats good shit right there
My niece dropping he bag of chips is funny I don't know if you caught that lol you got to watch close
works better to put the snatch block pulley on the tractor your towing, takes half the pull to get it on the trailer, and doesn't pull sideways on trailer
Thanks for the shout out my man. Shes a beaut!

Jackpot! The 5020 is a great tractor!
Good to see you saving the tractor from rotting in the ground
Another great video, love the varied content. First vehicle I ever drove was a tractor back in 1963.
5020 is a good tractor 👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍🛠🛠🛠
This tractor really came back nicely. Can't wait to it continuously progress, nice work!
I love it, save that old iron! I recently saved my first tractor, just a little 8N Ford. I love seeing old equipment put back to use! Just because it isn’t the newest or have the most options doesn’t mean it is useless.
now who would let a beauty like that sit??
You told me about Tyler Shumaker and he hooked me up with parts for my 45 loader! Thank you!
What a find ! 5020 is a great workhorse!
I have that light and it’s awesome🤘🏼🇺🇸

I LOVE IT!!! What an amazing rescue. I can’t wait to see more of this. I can’t believe you took off the canopy before banging your head on it!!
Someone forgot simple physics when pulling the tractor upon the trailer 🙄
Every 4020 and 5020 that people in this country wanted to work had turbos added, had to be careful with them because they would score a cylinder very easily

Where are you at I been looking for a canopy for my small cub tractor..
Bushes brush trees nature all grows over time but if the parts are there usually no problem firing it up .
5020 JD is nice man i love it.
Refreshing to see someone start an old diesel without drowning it in ether.
Love your videos 👌
Cool. I thought with the straight pipe and extra oil filter it had a turbo.
Thats a great find/save!
Parabéns mto bom . Esse trator é uma relíquia. 👏👏👏👍🇧🇷
I'm looking forward to the rebuild on that old girl. Enjoyed this video.
Olight is the real deal. Bought 1 to try out, now own 4 of them. 👍👍
Is she going to be named "Ole Grapevine"? lol
Great find! I'm jealous!

we had a 5020 that weighed 28,000 and a 5010 in the early 70's which we repowered with Kinze kits and detroit 8 V 71 engines, what a power increase
Why was this sitting for so long and left to rot?
👍👍
A hookup for a plow
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
I guess that has a syncro range transmission. Mine did. 140 horse power add a turbo 25 more horse. Dad put a m & w turbo on his , worked well.
That was the only *factory* option from what I see
Very Professional.
Dude that is one sweetheart of a tractor
I’m so tempted to make the drive tomorrow it’s only like 4 hours
Excellent Video Brandon :) I Lol when saw come out exhaust stake look like mouse home went boom out like rocket 🚀 near Dads Strength hope you all seen that 👍 and never drove this John Deere tractor type but have on 4010 Desiel with Loader plus was 2 wheel drive my cousin Ronald has great one too !

Cool!!!!
Those fuel filters were unavailable and back ordered at my dealership. I ended up buying a case of Wix filters from my auto parts store. That should last me into the next administration. I believe Donaldson made those filters for Deere to begin with. Probably just can't keep up with rebranding them.
Id take the 86 series that drug it on the trailer over 2 of those jd's
Olight will do anything to get rid of there light ...even give them away. Nice tractor
That’s what I said. Their weapon lights have a horrible reputation from people that actually use them
Don't cut them off, they're foot pegs for the Jolly Green Giant !!
Why was it parked?
Nice find, also y was it park outside
How long has it setting in that spot? Is it stuck? Nice find. I'm still trying to send you the pictures of the 720 i told you about last month.
I use the same light every day as a flatbed driver hope you like it
I'm not a tractor guy but do you think those things on the side are pivot points for a dozer blade or something like that?
We put a 7520 head and intercooler on ours.
I think the reason John Deere doesn't have filters at the moment is because their supply chain is backed way up.
Seems like the only supply chains that haven’t had any problems is fentanyl and human trafficking. That just seems to flow right in.
That dang Dad Strength I bet that is one strong rascal, if you grap him to throw him on the ground you better eat a good breakfast 😆
You got a good work horse there
Didn't the old JD A have a filter similar to that, only vertical? Hey, you do have an A
Nice save guys! I'm a die hard IH guy but I love seeing old rigs brought to life!! I run RED but I will admit I pull some green.😁 Be safe, just found your channel and subbed.
Nothing like seeing an old red tractor dragging a dead green one lol
love your channel, from out a Junk Deere you make a John Deere 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the good work!!
Why not center the snatch block so it will pull straight?
Are you going to put the canopy ROPS back onto the 5020 or no? I'd be interested in the CANOPY ROPS as long as it would work on a 3020 diesel tractor.
That is not a ROPS it is just a canopy someone jury rigged on there.
You boys got yourself a good lookin old piece of equipment there, it just needs a little TLC, once you get everything took care of, that thing will spin right off and crank up right on the money.
All the tools you guys own, and you dont have a winch on that trailer?
That tractor could not been sitting there as long as it took that brush to grow water and residue should be all over the alternator I don't think that tractor set to long should fire up.
That’s a 5020 row crop because of the cut down dust shieds on the platform and the row crop fenders. Good find
he looks heavy

I'm Brazilian, you don't have a vacancy for me to work there in your workshop.
Brandon my first tractor was a 1968 5020. I weighted it so i'd know. If I remember correctly it was 21000 lbs.
🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
GOD BLESS JOHN DEERE GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS ALL FARMS YOU KNOW WE TRULY EXPECT YOU TO DROP THAT DAMN YOU ALL RIGHT DOWN IN THAT FUEL THING YOU DO KNOW THAT RIGHT YOU GOT LOOKED AT TIME NOOOOOO Y
JUST JOKING JUST JOKING WE REALLY DID MAKE YOU DO IT
I thought you had a portable duck blind going there for a second
why dont you build a push bar to load tractors and move then around where you want them your a puller and you have seen then used lots of times
I grew up on them tractor's. My dad farmed in south Louisiana. We had 3 of them. They stayed bogged down....to heavy.
What brand is the rake on the wheel loader?
Is there a way to unload a plow tomorrow
Who would abandon this and why?
Looks like the average tractor here in Medina County, Tx. Especially after Ronnie Reagan's 1984, and 1987 Farm bills. "Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town"
cool tractor get a 619 to put in it!
The steering motor becomes a pump when there is no hydraulic pressure. It will turn the wheels but very slowly and is high effort.
😂😂😂😂😂💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍

Damned if I’d be in line of sight of that cable
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💚🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🙋🏻♂️
Pegs on frame could possibly be for a front blade
6020 or what?
