Good. Have a 65 JD 3020 gas syncro that is used almost every day on the ranch and haying business. Very nimble and right sized for a lot of duties. In over 10 yrs of use I"ve only replaced the battery, fuel pump, plugs, and fluids. Lots of power and doesn"t use a drop of oil. Does ok on fuel unless you overload it or operate at max hp but gas is cheaper than diesel for now. I use my bigger tractors for the heavy duty work but the 3020 is my favorite for all medium chores. Be sure to check out all the gears, work the hydraulics under load, look for leaks, check out the pto and pto brake, check hydraulic coupler, type of carb, listen to engine for bearing wear and balancer noises. Look for any repairs under the gas tank in front as these tractors are over 50 yrs old and the steel tanks are getting prone to leak. Replacement tanks are poly. Well maintained 3020s are great tractors but ragged out ones will be a money pit. Try to get a work and repair history if available. Good luck.
