Roger that. You know it has a brand new cam and fresh injection pump right? It's tip top shape! LOL

Lol. Im not to worried about it, as long as it loads itself im fine with the rest.

I watched the video. Youtube recommended ultimate tractor fails after. I think there is a theme here.

I am worried about your safety.

I appreciate your concern, Dan and Jeff. If anyone has ever been around a 4020 Deere, they know these are the weakest spots on them. The front ends were never made for loaders in the first place. However, I have broken two spindles with nothing on the loader. The first two were brush hogging in the pasture. If you happen to be turning and the tire hits a hole.....pop...d.u.n. I've broke 4 since 2004 when I bought it. Two turning and two with the loader. The 720 is a large loader for that tractor and you should see the bucket. I can dang sure move some dirt but it gets heavy fast.

The solution is setting in at Aaron's house several hundred miles from here. Hopefully, I can make it work this summer. In the mean time, I'll build a 3-pt transport for them and stop carrying them across the pasture.

And Dan, if you carry them down low....you run over cows that you don't see. $.02

Couple good pics.

She's a good looking old girl Jory! I didn't realize they had front end trouble like that. Having a couple of them growing up we never had an issue, although neither had loaders on them. One of them was a side console and I wish it never got sold. Still have the other one, power shift model.

She is a little rougher now. I don't exactly baby her. It's a 68 with controls on the dash. I wish it was a '69 with the side console. It's a PITA to run the 3-pt on the dash and look back at the same time. Then again, I wish it were 4440 or 4450 with a cab, A/C, Heat, etc....but I wish a lot of things. I love feeding hay in an ice storm and getting my face bead blasted with ice. Absolutely love it. LOL

I have fond memories of driving home in storms, I was out cultivating once and thought I could beat a thunderstorm home. Needs less to say I didn't need a shower that night and the equipment was spotless.

I got the "save the front end" assembly done yesterday. Works like a champ of course. Extremely overbuilt. 4" square, 3/8" wall tubing horizontal and a chunk of 4" x 4" 3/8"wall channel for the riser. Pretty sure the arms will snap off before the attachments breaks. LOL I cut some of the channel out just to drop some weight.

All scrap material from the pasture but I had to buy the spears. 48" @ $59 each.



Took it for a trial run and decided to have some fun with the hell hound.
