Turns out to be a relay on the little circuit board on the ignition switch module. I found both relays at Mouser for $6 usd. I replaced both. At least it wasn't the solenoid. Regards.

Has there been a change in the steering wheel shaft cover from a two part plastic set up to a one piece rubber boot system? Is this a recall type of thing that a dealer will provide to owners with the older plastic system? Thanks.

There is no seal. It's simply a hole in the plastic rubbing the steering wheel shaft. I've used grease. But if this doesn't work again. I will clean it off and try silicone. Thanks.

Actually I think the two halves of the shroud are resonating and I don't think the hole/shaft rub is the actual problem. I might try a silicone film between the two plastic halves to act as a dampener. It's very loud.

Is there a standard/best procedure for jacking up the rear on a 4020 series tractor? <br>
<br>
Are there jack stands available that would fit someplace suitable? My jack stands hit the tire and can't be put under the place where the top of the stand fits the axel properly.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

Great discussion regarding hills and CG.

What effect does a loader have on CG? It seems like it would be to raise it.

I have a 4720 and I usually run around with the loader on. And it seemed very top heavy to me. I had a down hill wheel sink in and the uphill wheel popped up in the air and I popped off the tractor on the downhill side. I rolled around to look at the tractor, expecting it to be landing on me, and saw it sitting there with 3 wheels on the ground slowly continuing to tip over. I quick ran up the hill and stood up on the raised wheel and was able to recover the thing. Very lucky. I only had a banged up knee and pride.

I think I'm going to get the tires filled, pronto. And maybe using front weights is better than the loader? The wheels are out but not fully out.

I've got muddy hills. Springs everywhere. I didn't want to make it so heavy, but I've got to get the CG changed.

R1 tires. Bad idea not wearing the seat belt. But in my case I traded a smashed knee to prevent a roll over.

4720 fuel filter started leaking fuel and couldn't be tightened up to stop it. New filter all OK.<br>
<br>
It was leaking at the water drain cock. Is this meant as a bypass for a clogged filter? Seems far fetched, but you never know.

On a 4720.<br>
<br>
I was wondering about the Top and Tilt option,<br>
can this be purchased and installed by the owner?<br>
<br>
Or do you have to return the tractor to a dealer?<br>
<br>
Or will a dealer come out and install it?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks...never owned a Deere.<br>
