I found a clean 4020 but it is a tricycle. Can these be converted to a wide front end? How complicated is it. I can rebuild motors and stuff so I have some mechanical ability. Is it worth doing this conversion?

You can change front ends pretty easily on those, the factory front end had weak spots . if your going to put a loader on it, and don't mind it not being factory setup I would put a 4430 front end on it. If I remember right there's only about 4 bolts holding the front end plate, just unbolt those and unhook the steering lines. Also a rear end out of 6620/7720 combine should fit and you can make it front wheel assist. There's all kinds of info on the conversions on you tube.

if you can build a motor this you could do in your sleep its pretty simple they must have used that 4020 just on crops. If you wanted one you could have bought mine lol.

it seems like skyhightree has had *every* piece of equipment ever built 
We have a model B wide front, and that is only held on with a couple of bolts...
Really interesting about the combine rear end.. that must be a little more complicated

Lol I buy equipment fix minor problems and resell them I have been doing that for about 8 years now. Some tractors I like I hold onto a little bit longer there are only a few that I won't sell.I like old tractors.
