I have to go out in the country to look at the 820 and as you might have heard we've had a lot of rain and flooding since the hurricane in the wilmington, NC area. I haven't seen it yet. How will I know if its German made or not/ and is this a good or bad thing? Any problems I should be looking for? Thanks Mike ....

My father has a 72 model 820 and has owned it since it was new with very few problems. If it is a German model(as my fathers is) it will say so on the serial # tag. There is one thing to look out for on this tractor, if it is equiped with a Roosamaster injection pump be aware that if this pump fails (the throttle rod in the pump will strip) this pump is no longer produced, a retrofit kit with pump, injectors, lines,and fittings is about $1200.00 at the JD dealer. ....

Stuart, Had an injection pump failure on my 820 about a year ago. I had my
pump rebuilt for $375.00 including a new rod by a diesel injection repair shop here in Atlanta. It only took about 3 days after i dropped it off. They told me all the tractors dealers in the area bring pumps to them for overhaul .If you
need their number , let me know. Mike. B. ....
