My first JD was about that year and an LP 4020, purchased around 1990-95 time line. Had been looking a long time for a 4010-20 diesel and none to be found locally so I was easily wooed into this monstrosity.
The weep holes on the side of the block were leaking and I didn't know what that meant at the time......found out later. Owned it for roughly 5 years.

Ambient temp was your enemy. Either the tank pressure was too high or too low. Ran really hot at the operator's station, not the engine's running temp, the temp of the air that the cooling fan blew across the operator's (open) station.
