Hmmm... Looks like you may have a problem. I believe the numbers you found on the engine by the starter are the engine model and serial numbers. You will have to talk with a JD dealer to see if they have a way of tracking what year that block is. The engine information you had should have come from the right side of the engine block on a tag - correct? Anyhow, your serial number or "PIN" - as Deere calls it (Product Identification Number) should be located on a tag on the right hand side of the transmission case. Keep in mind, the transmission casing is about where your right foot would be on the floorboard. Look the whole right side over good, from the clutch housing (rear of engine) to the back of the tractor. It is possible the tag is hiding under paint, dirt, debris, or it may just be gone (hopefully not). If the tractor needs a bath, clean it good with a pressure washer! I don't own a 1020 tractor, nor have I been around one in quite a while, so I cannot describe the exact location of where the tag should be located to you. I can tell you that your tractor was built sometime from 1965-1973. I can also tell you that the serial number should range between 14501-157109+. The JD 1020 was a 38 Hp (gas or diesel) utility tractor that ran the typical 8 year production cycle that Deere commonly runs. Good luck and hope you figure it all out.
