4010 or 4020 JD went over the bank and into the Ohio River many yrs ago after a farmer left it out during a flood this time of year in river bottoms.This was near Evansville IN. He figured it was gone forever and forgot about it until maybe 6-8 yrs ago. Got to thinking some collector value was there. He knew where to look for it and got a barge crane to do some exploring for it . Long story short he found it (he remembered where to look). Tractor was too heavy to drift very far. The crane retrieved it. We're talking water depth 20 ft or so. The tractor was completely submerged for maybe 15 yrs. Think the lack of oxygen kept the rust at bay from eating the parts up. Farmer completely restored the machine,was a story in one of the farm tractor magazines about this few yrs ago.
