Hi all, I have recently acquired a 1968 JD 4020 powershift diesel. This is the first 4020 I've ever operated, and have some pretty basic
questions.
First off, what is the lever on the right side of the dash for? This lever seems to swing back and forth pretty easy.
The PTO lever on the left side of the dash (I'm assuming this is the PTO lever) is very hard to pull back to disengage the PTO, is that
normal? I also don't like having to use that little knob by my left knee to keep the PTO shaft disengaged.
Is it normal that when the PTO is not engaged, the tractor doesn't drive? With the PTO disengaged, shifting into gear doesn't do a darn
thing in forward or reverse. No problem when the PTO is engaged.
I'm sure I'll think of some other questions, but I appreciate any input on the above!
