The Oliver 1655 is a better tractor. I have owned both and like the Oliver 1655 much better. I still own the last one I found in 1988. I use it a lot working with hay. It rakes 90% of my hay. I really like how it handles.
I don't like AGCO on parts. They are getting crazy on the cost. Guys I buy a lot of JD parts they are now where near as bad as AGCO is. I just replaced the brakes on mine. AGCO was over $600 for the disk and seals. I got them through A&I for less than half that.
The JD 3020 really had the worst engine of the twenty series tractors. The balancer in the oil pan was just a poor design. The drive gear in the middle of the crankshaft was just a joke. A JD 3020 gas I would not even think about owning. They just don't run right on the new gas unless you want to buy airplane fuel.
I have installed four JD 329 engines out of 2840 in them. I had to make new frame rails and lengthen the hood but it made real nice tractors out of junk gas ones.
JD 3020 would be easier to get parts for. The JD parts network is much better than the AGCO one. This would be to only advantage to the JD 3020 over an Oliver 1655
