John Deere 5020 Repower

This is a 1968 john deere 5020 repower that I restored for FFA. It has 315 hp and in the video I am pulling an 11 shank disk chisel in 6 th gear.

Wow talk about ear sex. Beautiful sound

@kdowning08 Without the turbo though they weren't very powerful. Hence the doggy reputation. Too much weight and that engine wasn't responsive until you put a turbo on it. I think the power train itself could handle a lot more power but the 531 could not. At least not very well.

@SilverGleaner The 5020 was a good tractor until the motorheads put turbos on them. If you left them naturally aspirated like they came from factory they were cheap horsepower

Unless you're enclosed in a cab, hearing protection is always a must. Kudos.

Can you tell me if the ear protection comes standard with those chrome pipes or is that an option you have to by separate?

@65JD5010 Back in those days the 5010, 5020, and 6030 were actually referred to as dogs even by Deere men. My neighbor had a 5020 that he blew the engine up on and he ripped the front axle right off of it once. My old 220 Allis I used to have would walk circles around it. That was back in the 70's.
