When I bought my 1020 around five years ago the gas gage worked. At some point since then it stopped. What it DOES do is the needle bumps up slightly when power is applied, but never moves from there. I recently installed a new gage and float, and I’m getting the same result - needle bumps up...

1967 JD 1020 gas. My son was using it with no problems. He stopped and turned it off so he could move some sticks out of the way. Got back on and it wouldn’t start. Wouldn’t even try to turn over - completely dead. I got a meter and I’m getting 12v to the ignition switch. Checked continuity on...

I just had some work done on my 1967 JD 1020 (gas). The mechanic did a great job but when I got it back the tach wasn't working. I contacted him and he said to unscrew the tach cable from the gage, pull out the center section, and reinsert. I've just tried it numerous times and the end result...

Hello, I have a 1967 JD 1020 (gas) that has developed a transmission/hydraulic fluid leak. It appears to be coming from where the clutch lever shaft enters the housing on the left side, right in front of where you sit. I took a video with my phone and sent it to a repairman (file is too large...

Apologies upfront because I’m a bit of a tractor idiot, so I may not be using the right terminology here. I have a 1967 JD 1020 (gas). Never had much of a problem with it until a few days ago. It’s developed a bad fluid leak while running. Not a drip, but pretty much a good stream. It’s coming...

Sorry for all of the threads lately...just trying to get a good understanding of my new-to-me tractor. Today when I was running it would occasionally sputter. At first I thought it was no big deal but then it all of a sudden went into what I will call low idle. The RPMs dropped just about as...

Hello, In a previous thread I noted that I bought a 1967 JD 1020. After using it for the first time over the weekend I'd like to ask for opinions on some observations I had. When I was looking at it at the sellers house and also when I got it home the engine oil level was right at the top...

Hello all - looking for some advice... I was looking at picking up a 1020. All seemed good for the price until I checked the three point. It was very jerky when going up. Smooth going down, however. Power steering and wet brakes worked great. I am going off the assumption that the same...

Hello, I have a 1959 MF50 that has seen better days. Recently I was using the rear blade on my driveway and the three point lift quit working. The front loader doesn't work either. If I actuate the valve I can see the three point move slightly but that's it. I'm a tractor idiot so any ideas...

Hello all, First post...thanks in advance to anyone/everyone for their help! I'm a bit of a tractor idiot, so please bear with me... I bought an old MF-50 last spring. So far I have started it up twice this winter (Michigan) with no problems. Last time was about two weeks ago. Just today I...
