there's a nice looking 5020 (no cab) on Ebay.. I don't go to many auctions anymore and wonder what tractors like this bring now.. for you experienced owners of tractors like these what is the first thing you check to see if it's mechanically sound.. any pointers on tell-tale signs that something will need to be checked before it's ready for the field.. any other comments on what to look for before you buy?

Im here In north central Kansas, and I saw a 5010
sitting in an old church lot just sitting there looking all abandoned.
The condition was pretty good, and the tire,s were all right. It,s, the first 5010 I had ever seen ever ,
I guess John Deere didn"t make that many of them
In the early sixty,s

JD Guy, if you're going to move up to one of those big horses, you should consider going all the way and getting into a 6030, which is basically a 5020 on steroids. They have a turbocharged 531 in them and were available with intercoolers or without. The powertrain is tremendously strong and heavy, and they will take a lot of abuse. They are factory rated at 175 hp but most will pull 225 or more with ease. A 619 engine can also be installed fairly easily. I've seen some 6030s pull in heavy farm classes (18,000 lb) and they are simply awesome to watch pull. The best pull-off I've ever seen was between a 4640 with a quad-range and a 6030. The 4640 ended up winning by a hair, but he had a lot more trouble getting the sled started than the 6030 did, which finished it's pull with the front wheels four feet off the ground. Good luck with whatever you decide to go after. By the way, where are you located in Nebraska?

thanks for the input. I'm located in Waverly, Ne. and a member of the Camp Creek Antique Machinery and Thresher Club. You can see a pic of one of my tractors, a '56 720 diesel and a pic of a 4010 preproduction cutaway in the Tractor Photo gallery..

Interesting picture of the cutaway. At what time was it at SCC for restoration? I remember looking at a cutaway many times when I was attending SCC from 9/92 to 6/94 in the Diesel Truck program. I was just curious if that was the unit you pictured or if the other one you mentioned was still at SCC. Anyway, it is very interesting to see all the internal parts and how they relate to each other when they're completely assembled. I hate to imagine how many hours someone put into building that thing. By the way, I'm located in York. I wanted to make it to Waverly this year, but didn't get the time. I was also interested in joining your organization. Where can I find membership info? Thanks in advance.

The 5020�s were great tractors in their day. The tractor is 1000 pto only, which limits you to what you want to do with it. If you are going to use it for tillage work, it will need a set of duals. These came thru with either dual 18-4`s or 24.5x32 single rubber. And you will need a big fuel tank to feed it, You can run 10-12 gallons of fuel an hour thru it on a hard pull. They did have some engine problems with them, especially if they were lugged hard. It would be wise to pull the pan and check or replace the bearings and check the oil pump for excessive side play at the drive gear end. I�ve had 4 of them in the shop with no oil pressure caused by the oil pump getting sloppy and jumping away from the camshaft gear. ( this usually eats up the gear on the cam also). By the time you notice the oil lite on it�s too late!! If you want one for a toy there are alot of these out there in the $4000-$7000 range in original condition. Theres a nice original one on Machinery Link with duals for $6900 with a cab.
