Regarding the Beemer and Petersen book, JOHN DEERE NEW GENERATION TRACTORS, it has a lot of fine pictures, they write and include some useful information (all gleaned from other sources) on the ten series, BUT they compress everything they have to say about the most popular NG tractor of them all, the 4020, into a few column inches, and even then they hardly talk about the 4020. I can't look in their book and find out about chassis types. I can't look in their book and learn about production changes. I can't look in their book and read about matched equipment, or find anything at all about even best guesses for production numbers. Yes, they have some anecdotal comments and some pretty pictures (some of which actually show correctly decaled and equipped tractors---what a surprise!) I sure wish someone would write an informative book on the 4020 and 3020 detailing chassis types, optional equipment, decal placement, matched equipment, all of the Nebraska tests and reprinted pages from the original sales brochures. Picures of unrestored, original tractors along with pictures of correctly restored tractors would also be nice. I'd pay good money for such a book. Hope someone writes it, before I decide I have to do it myself! I'm sure tired of waiting!
