John Deere 820

This 1969 3 cylinder John Deere 820 tractor serial number 032919 is from Bedford Hills in Westchester County NY. This tractor is used to mow pastures along with his John Deere 2510.

We replaced the clutch, rear main seal, rock shaft seals, repaired the seat adjuster, cowl side panels and the clutch pedal. We cleaned and relined the gas tank, cleaned the hydraulic inlet screen and adjusted the valves.

The rims were badly damaged when someone had changed the tires and we had to repair and weld the rims before they could be painted.

Almost 20 years ago the owner purchased a spare hood from JD. We were able to use these hoods measurements to make changes. The cardboard templates represent the correct shape of the hood.

This tractor came in close contact with a tree and pushed the front support, hood and gas tank backwards. Everything needed to be moved forward creating plenty of tin repairs and re-alignment of the hoods seams.

A slit was cut into the front edge of the hood so each side could be reshaped without creating more damage. After many hours of work it is ready to be welded, primed and painted.

After two months of repairs this John Deere tractor is prepped for painting. The types of paint we choose to use are John Deere Green and Yellow and a top clear coat.
