A good feeling for a Sunday. The tractor I grew up on is finally sitting in my shed. My father decided to retire it this year after over 20,000 hours of service. Just to let you know what this poor thing has been through, it was our biggest horse on our 200 cow dairy. It did all the plowing, all the tillage for that matter, it was the chopper tractor and the baler tractor and it pumped the manure pit. My grandfather quit farming the year we sold the cows on my fathers farm. Now my father farms on a smaller scale but has Grandpap's 4430 for the big work and a nice 4010 and 3020 for the lighter work. After some engine problems with the 4020 back in 2008, we had to overhaul it. Since then he's only put 300 hours on it so he sent it to me for some oil leaks on the back end. After a while he said he didn't have room for it so for now she resides in my shed. This 4020 was purchased new in 1966 by my grandfather and passed to my father in 1979. It was the first tractor I ever drove at 4 years of age. It's a nice sight in my shed.
