Dad bought a new 4020 LP in 1966. It was the first and only LP tractor sold at the local dealership, for $6,000, if I remember correctly. He then bought a 1956 IH 400 that had been converted to LP on a 1969 farm auction for $900, as no one wanted the LP tractor. I bought it on his retirement sale in 2002 for $3,000, I wanted it and so did some machinery jockey guy.
The 4020 was our big tractor and the 400 was used for everything else, Stan- hoist loader with hydraulic bucket, pulled a 456 IH planter with field cultivator attachment, 2MH mounted corn picker. The tach had a couple thousand hours on it when Dad bought it and the farmer he bought it from said that if it didn't pull 60 horse on the dyno, bring it back. We kept it. The tach broke about a year later, Dad replaced it and then that one broke when it had about the same hours on it. He never did replace it and we don't know just how many hours are on it, but it is a lot. Pull the dipstick and the oil looks just like the day you put in there.
I plan to freshen it up as soon as I quite moving snow with it.
