My neighbor ran through two engines in his. He was a long-time Deere owner with two 4020s and a 3020. He wanted to trade in one of his 4020s for something a little bigger - to pull some big chisel plows. He reluctantly bought a Deutz-Allis DX 7.10 140 horse 4WD tractor. He said the Deere he wanted was too expensive. So, he bought the Deutz outright and kept all his Deere also. He hated it from the day he got it. I had to work on it many times and most repairs were minor - except for two clutchs, and the front drive axle falling apart. He complained about the noise also, along with the lack of a block heater for cold-winter starting. He kept a oil-fired space heater outside and would point it at the engine, run for half an hour, and start it that way. First engine siezed up at 4000 hours. He threw a blower-belt and overheated it. That was 100% his fault. 2nd engine blew up a few years later - but it was a used engine when we installed it. Hours unknown. He sold the farm a few years ago and retired. The new owner put another engine in the Deutz, and not long after it burnt to the ground. Really hot fire and I have no idea what caused it. I could of bought it for $1000, put passed it up. My friend might not have taken as good care of it because he hated it - but he had very few problems with his Deere tractors. I did two engine jobs on one of his 4020s, and he got around 10,000 hours each time. I'll note that that tractor salvage yard near me has many Deutz tractors and all are half-melted. Fires seem to be problem if brush collects around the engine.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
