sounds like my 4020,, THEY ARE good Tractors ,, And this one gave a local Farmer GREAT work for some 7000 hours befor he traded it in ,it was sold on credit before I could get the money together ,, about mid summer the dealer repossessed it , and then I bought the 4020,. I remarked to the dealer ,if you would a give me the same benefit of credit we wouldn't had this problem .he said "You Did not Ask "I said "You did not offer credit since I was a CASE Man ." ,,I did get the 4020 for 1000 when 1st priced ,,. doggone the things that have gone wrong makes me only use it for round baling ,, I Love the P -shift,, But THis Poor 4020 is possessed or Jinxed and Seems to know when I have a thousand I can spend for repairs, . I had new rear tires installed , 2 weeks later my son was putting round bales along the woods and backed over the rotary hoe in the weeds, ONE MORE NEW TIRE .. here is just some of my litany. the 1st year the motor seized from a bad injector , new injectors and a sleeve and piston , fought water getting in tranny somehow for some 10 yrs, always changed out to new 303 when pressure went poor .. new steering motor , NEW Front hydro pump and rebuilt 5 times under warranty, in one summer by Easterday in Orleans ind ,. I did not have the heart to tell them the brakes come apart in 1990 and polluted the tranny , same dealer installed new brakes again and a magnet in tranny . consequently new oil and filters in tranny at least once a yr every yr for last 30 yrs ,new injector pump twice, and the worst of all headaches is the electrical system ,. the problematic 24 volt system was swapped out for the 12 volt jdeer kit about 15 yrs ago ,. my neighbor installed it for me , and the starter would start the tractor a 3 am in the morning on a damp nite , happened 5times ,. this went on all summer long ,. my neighbor is a good mechanic ,.and deer sent out someone, to chek installation ,, all was good ,. but they told me not to park around flammables until i put on a new wiring harnes ,. WELL GREAT, we will do that when haying is done . one evening after baling , the deer started a fire under the dash,. luky I was rite there to disconnect batteries, and put it out .. the jd kit 12 volt starter proved to be borderline rebuild from one end to the other , R and R in palmyra ind , told me this is what was trikling the battryis down,, the only thing that was good was the starter drive . .I fought dead batteries and poor starting for 10 yrs , to where I would start the 4020 and never shut it off all day.. the original owner of the 4020 is a family friend since hi school days is perplexed about all the problems I have had,. He told me they had a loader on the tractor and it was trouble free ,,. well that explains the crakt frame rail that I welded shortly after I bought the 4020 . I mentioned Case. I will not turn no one loose with the 1070 til I have fully exposed them to all the quirks of the "NOW ALSO after numerous repairs DEPENDABLE 1070, . The 4020 is the most nimble friendly and idiot proof of all the tractors I have. This is not meant to be ugly toward Jdeer or to Mr SELLEr , whom I respect greatly both,.. but geewhiz this pretty 4020 lady has put me thru the paces ,,. I think I have at least 18 k in it ,.at least its resale value is good as compared to the Case,i have to work the repair money out of them . trouble is each one especially the old Case letter series gassers have a horrible attitude if I let them sleep over 2 monthes ..
