I found an LG gas JD 4020 tractor online he says he will take 3,000.00 for it. Pig in the Poke, do yall think its worth it? What do I have to loose? What would it cost to do a tractor split to do a transmision over haul?

Early 4020 or late side console?

I would say that the big question is not "what would it cost to repait the transmission" since if it is a syncro, that is unlikely. The "Big" question is: "what is the condition of the engine and the lpg fuel system"?

LPG tractors have a bit more power than gas tractors and the fuel for them is a lot cheaper (usually) than anything else you can run.

If the tractor starts and runs well, it is a really cheap 95 hotse tractor, and a John Deere to boot!

LPG has lost a lot of popularity over the past decades since they were last made and sold, but so far as I know, lpg prices are WAY better than Diesel of Gasoline. THOSE two fuels are the "price gouge" darlings of the oil industry right now.

I would check LPG fuel prices and if they are even half of what the other fuels cost, the decision becomes apparant.

I wish someone in MY area would sell ME an lpg 4020 for $3000.

So you say it is a GOOD chance the transmision is in GOOD shape due to it being a syncro trany? Were these seemed to be GOOD transmisions for these tractors I guess....

IMO it is a GOOD chance that any JD will have a good tranny. You really have to abuse them to break them---or else use them heavily for 25,000 hours.

Concerns about powershift are mostly due to the increased repair price. Both are really quite reliable.

The only tendency a SR tends to have is for the gears to sometimes pop out of gear. This is due to wear on the shift gates and it is more of an adjustment thing than a "broken" thing to take care of.

I would say it all depends on how much it costs to get it home ? Does it have a wide front end and 3pt. ?

Wide front and 3 pt hitch as well. It woulde be about 400.00 to send it here. So your looking at $3400.00 to have it on the farm.

I think it would be tempting you can always part it out ? If you have the extra money you may as well put it in a tractor than the bank. If it would happen to be a late model with side console it might be worth big dollars as these are rare.

You can't loose that much as it has value for scrap iron. LOL plus the wide front is worth some too.

No they did not say the Transmision was bad or anything. I, my self am just saying the worst case could be that the transmision needs OVER Hauling. I am saying this MY SELF... What would it cost to overhaul a transmision in a 4020? It is a synchro shift Transmsion..

The only problem I have ever encountered on a 4020 tranny is sometimes the synchronizers will go bad if it has been shifted a lot such as on a loader tractor. The gears in a used 4020 tranny usually look as good as the day it was built unless some dummy ran it out of oil. At that, it"s hard to run one out of oil since other stuff starts working funny like the three point hitch. If one is paying attention at all, he will know something is awry and start looking. If this is a late model unit with the hydraulic levers on the right side console, a lot more likely problem will be the hydraulic PTO clutch which had some updates to try to stop oil leaking.
