I've attacked my 4020 some.

Front tires are 11.00-16 on 8" wide rims. Raised the front a few inches. Keeps the tires from sinking in the mud when I pick up something with the MF-135 loader that's mounted on it.

To run the loader and a 3 point back hoe, I've added a couple hydraulic outlets and returns to supply the valves on the loader and backhoe.

It has an electric fuel pump (gas tractor) that won't ever put fuel in the crankcase and makes it start a lot better.

It has an alternator for better charging of the side terminal battery that sits on the left side replacement step that has a step only 16" off the ground in front of the left tire.

The rear tires are 12.4-42 for better row clearance. I had to make custom mounts for the Unverforth rims I found in a salvage yard with adequate tires. Didn't change the height any but clears the crop better sideways when spraying.

I have a front hitch receiver part of the loader mount and keep a hitch there handy for backing wagons into tight places.

On the right fender where the extensions for the MF-135 loader valves are, I have a truck mirror mounted for watching implements, especially the planter out back.

I have a hole drilled in the top of the right fender to hold the three sprayer controls or the planter monitor.

I cut out a spare gauge opening in the dash and added an ammeter so I could judge the quality of the original charging system. The alternator is much better.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
