Facts About the John Deere 4020 Tractor
The story of the John Deere 4020 tractor can be traced back to 1963. It was in this year that the tractor was first released to the American public. It became popular almost overnight. Before this tractor was released to the market, smaller farms throughout the country struggled to keep up with the larger ones. Thanks to the John Deere 4020, these smaller farms had a vehicle that could pull a disk and planter simultaneously while baling alfalfa and hay. During the harvesting period, it could then be used to bring along the baler, baler ejector, and even the receiving wagon, all at the same time. Being able to perform multiple tasks concurrently gave farmers working with less resources and manpower more time and energy to focus on other things.
The John Deere 4020 enjoyed a production period that lasted eleven years. Roll-guard safety features were added to the tractor in 1966, which quite literally changed the safety value of tractors forever. Before long, John Deere not only added this feature to everything released through the “New Generation” run, but they made the patent available to all tractor companies.
In terms of features, the 4020 brings a lot to the table, including power front-wheel drive. In addition to this, the longer rear-axel allows for an additional set of wheels to be attached with ease. This dual-wheel system makes it easy for farmers to utilize alternate spacing for their wheels, depending on the width of a particular crop row.
Presently, the 4020 is a six-cylinder engine product that combines the row-crop and standard tractors of the past. It is a marvelous combination of John Deere’s ingenuity and commitment to excellence. With a John Deere 4020 Engine Overhaul Kit, you will be able to rely on the tractor for many years to come.

What are the most popular Detroit Diesel engines?
The easiest way to categorize Detroit Diesel engines is by classifying them as “2 Cycle” or “4 Cycle” engines. A 4cycle or 4 stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes—intake, compression, power, and exhaust—during two separate revolutions of the engine’s crankshaft, and one single thermodynamic cycle. Below is a list of the most popular Detroit Diesel “4 Cycle” engines:
Detroit Diesel Series 60 (S60) engine 6 cylinder In-line (11.1, 12.7 & 14L)
Detroit Diesel Series 50 (S50) engine 4 cylinder In-line (8.5L)
Detroit Diesel Series 40 (S40) engine 6 cylinder In-line (6.7, 7.6 & 8.7 L)
Detroit Diesel Fuel Pincher engine 8 Vee (8.2 L)
A two-stroke or two-cycle engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle in only one crankshaft revolution and with two strokes, or up and down movements, of the piston in comparison to a “four-stroke engine”, which uses four strokes to do so. This is accomplished by the end of the combustion stroke and the beginning of the compression stroke happening simultaneously and performing the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions at the same time. Below is a list of the most popular Detroit Diesel “2 Cycle” engines:
Detroit Diesel Series 53 engines: 2-53, 3-53, 4-53, 6V53, 8V53
Detroit Diesel Series 71 engines: 2-71, 3-71, 4-71, 6-71, 6V71, 8V71, 12V71, 16V71, 20V71
Detroit Diesel Series 92 engines: 6V92, 8V92, 12V92, 16V92
Detroit Diesel Series 149 engine 8V149, 12V149, 16V149, 20V149
