The old 5020

a lot of people have asked about the 5020 here and the tires are missing because before I don't know if I was doing much of a YouTube channel the other year and I needed the rice tires off of this to put on the combine because it was so muddy and so that's what the tires are missing otherwise the tractor is complete and intact other than the injection pump the engine took a crap on us and yeah so we pulled the pump off but the engine the engine took a crap and it's kind of that unique engine and so we contemplate do we fix it up do we find an old 619 and Bolton here I have a person who would love to john deere 955 v8 i believe it's the same bellhousing it should bolt up I think he'd be kind of a fun one to put in there but at the same time I mean we own the tractor since the mid 90s when dad had to buy the farm back from the bank that was the tractor he had to do the farm and then we also had it then when we were melka I don't know there's not a whole lot of nostalgia there that's a nice old tractor I just don't know what to do if you put you know we've got the short fat tires that we can put back on at the old twenty four thirty twos we can put back on it for rubber does a guy wanna stick ten grand into fixing it up because I have no idea what I would do with it if I fixed it up a god of running again that's the problem that's the problem is maybe ten grand just sitting there so I think at this point dad had said if somebody wanted to give them several grand for scrap or whatever they can come haul it out of here but I don't know I don't know that that's our conundrum right now so we're not in a hurry to do anything till we make up our mind maybe maybe in a couple years when I'm a Minnesota millionaire and I got a hundred thousand YouTube subscribers and I'm making YouTube bucks then maybe I'll do maybe I'll do a GoFundMe resurrect the track there on the GoFundMe and stuff I don't know I just don't know what to do with it I don't have any money to put into it I've I barely got money to keep myself going that I need every day let alone start doing parade tractors and so yeah that's where we're at guys
