I can trade for a 1972 JD 4020 with the hydraulic front wheel drive. It is a very late model. Within 500 of the last one built. Now the bad part. This is a one owner tractor. It has been a loader tractor since day one. There is not a straight piece of sheet metal on the entire tractor. What is not bent is rusted. If there is a way to break, bend or just in general tear it up then this tractor has had it done to it. The reason the owner stopped using it is the oil pump failed and it spun a rod bearing. Then the rod broke and knocked a hole in the block plus breaking one of the support webs in the block. So the engine is toast. The transmission and clutch also need attention too. It has been hard shifting for several years. The owner told me the clutch had started slipping in the last few months as well. So it has a head ache and belly ache. LOL
I would have a fair amount of money in it as-is. I know the later JD 4020s are very hot right now with the collectors. I have not seen a power front wheel drive JD 4020 sell lately. So I am not sure what the restored value range would be. I know it will take a lot of time and money to get this tractor back in shape. It might be easier to move the front wheel drive over to another tractor. I know you would easily have over 20K in parts alone in a true "restore" on this tractor.
So what do you fellows think it would be worth now and after being restored?????
