Quality metal model of a 1967 John Deere 4020 tractor in iconic John Deere colors. The model is packed on a pedestal.
The John Deere 4020 was a farm tractor model manufactured by John Deere from 1964 to 1972. It replaced the nearly identical 4010 tractor that was introduced with Deere's New Generation series in 1960 and offered a number of improvements over the previous model, including more power, heavier rear axles and a shutter differential. Model 4020 was produced with three engines: diesel, gasoline and LPG. The 4020 Diesel has a six-cylinder engine tested at 84 horsepower and 91 PTO horsepower. A John Deere Syncro Range transmission with 8 forward speeds and two reverse speeds was standard, a power shift transmission was optional. Other options included dual rear wheels and an enclosed cabin with heating and air conditioning. The 4020 model is notable for its great popularity; more than 184,000 units were produced. It was the most popular tractor of its time.
During the production cycle, several minor changes were made to the 4020 and other tractors of the New Generation series. Some of these improvements included relocating the hydraulic levers from the left side of the dash to a console to the operator's right, a narrower oval muffler for better visibility, and a longer curved shifter.
