Seriously!! Buy some good ear protection and wind her up! I didn't know "Big John" ever built a 20 series without HUGE pump noise. I've only driven about 26 loader tractor's of that vintage, and they all "clatter, or chatter". 2520's thru 4620's, if they don't have more hydraulic noise than engine noise, better check the hydraulic oil! Or the muffler.

The best thing about that 2020 is that the only thing you need electricty for is to start the it. And if you park it on a hill you don't even need that.
My 6300 on the other hand won't do anything without electricty. I supose i will have to trade it when it starts to act up.

I sure would like to get my hands on another 4020 one day, we used to have a couple and they are fantastic old work horses. One of ours was a powershift, really nice transmission. Only thing I did cuss was the electrical system (as little as there was of it). The way I remember it, it was positive ground. And electricity confuses me enough when it's negative ground. Confused

The price on 4020's now is about what they were practically brand new, maybe more. Around here $14,000 is about what it would take to get one thats half decent, no loader.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I think I might have it whipped!!
It was a problem with oil bypassing the solenoid valves which control the front wheel assist.This bypass was eating up all the oil flow from the pump.
I just disconnected the FWA and capped the lines. I won't need the front wheels until next winter so I'll probably end up fixing it when it is 20 below!!! Laughing

Silver, 4020's are cheaper here. I paid 15g's for mine about 4 years ago and that was with a 158 loader on it plus it is a factory FWA.I see a lot of them advertised for between $8500 to about $11000. Smile

Your 4020 was probably a 24 volt system and not negative ground.They went to 12 volt in '67 or 68(I think). Smile

I don't know what the shipping would be from central Indiana but I bought a really prime 4020 diesel for $6,500 US and could probably find a couple more if yhr shipping did not eat up the differance. I would be glad to scout around and see what is available if there was interest
