I recently bought a 5020 for a restore project. This tractor has what I believe to be a 6030 turbo and plumbing installed on it. My intention is to do a full restore on the tractor and then use it for occasional bush hog work pulling a 15' batwing. I had originally planned to remove the turbo and take it back to a straight 5020. I had read that the power on the 5020 was poor and was wondering if taking the turbo off would be a mistake? Seemed a shame to go to all the work to restore the tractor only to have it be a cobble between a 6030 and a 5020. Also, the turbo appears to be working fine right now but looks to be very old. In any case, looking for firsthand experience.
