The 4020 came back to life today.

After I got back from the sale I went out and was tinkering with it for a few minutes when dad pulled in. I had him crank the engine while I bled the lines and had it running in a couple minutes. Sometimes it just take a extra hand.

Glad to hear it's running and was a simple fix. Question is, how did air get in the fuel lines???? Chris

I had to take the pump off and get it rebuilt. I just couldnt get the air out doing it myself. It was the hardest tractor to bleed I have ever done.

I ran my 4 cyl. Ford out of Fuel back in Sept. I didn't even try to bleed it. I just went and got another tractor. Next day I spent probably two hours bleeding it. It has no primer pump so you have to crank the motor, so you have to keep charging the battery.

Bill are you getting snow in your part of the state?
We have a pile of the new stuff on the ground since last night. The bull was walking along fence line looks to be about knee high on him.

Bill, could you email me. I would like to ask you if you can find some information about a bussiness in your area.
