Hello everybody. My brother recently stumbled upon a John
Deere 5020 wheatland with a Detroit motor in it on a trip out
west to a ranch picking up some calves. The owner says that it
was a 318 Detroit in it. They used it running the plow in the
wheat field up until a couple years ago when it was replaced
by a 8410 Deere. The owner is pretty confident it will run again
with a jump start and is thinking about selling it. My question
is, is the 318 Detroit the motor that Kinze put together as a
repower or is this another mechanics conversion? I know it's
hard to tell without pictures but I will try to get some posted for
everybody on here. Does anybody have a ballpark idea of
what this thing would be worth? My brother said the tinwork is
really straight on it and the wheatland fenders were in great
shape as well. I've always wanted a 5020 but never thought
about having one with a Detroit. Other than the good old
screaming Detroit, were they a pretty decent conversion? Just
curious, thank you everybody in advance for the help.
