John Deere 4520 Re-power Time-lapse - Welker Farms Inc

- When an injector fried a cylinder not long after a top end overhaul, we were reluctant to throw any more money into this old 4520 tractor. It only made sense to yank the newer 404 turbo out of our retired 7700 Turbo and mate it to the 4520 frame. The combine 404t had over 4000 hours on the engine but ran like a champ. With this new engine the tractor now revs over 2400 RPM and makes for excellent PTO operations such as a grain vac. The extra RPM allows her to cruise just over 20 MPH WOT. It was sad to see the 7700 turbo put to rest, as it was the first combine we learned to drive. It was a fun project, hope you enjoyed watching it!

good job i enjoyed the video..
+onelonleyfarmer Thank you!
as soon as you lift that clutch you get that massive reward from achievement 😉 good job fella
+driveheronman that is the best part!
I like how the dog takes off when the machine starts up with all that smoke.
+adrian humphreys It's amazing how those dogs can just lay around while large and noisy equipment is running haha.
Nothing like the smell of diesel fumes in the morning!
How about lung disease in their early- to mid-forties?
It's no less macho to have a good exhaust fan switched on in your workshop.
I just love the turbo sound and the engine sound when its revving
it's nice to see things run and hear their power it's nice to hear machines run with minimal or no problems
bring back old iron, and keep the history alive. great job!
Thanks!
So impressed with your skill love watching these tractor redo viedos
These time-lapse videos you make are wonderful. Thank you!
+MinnesotaEric thank you for watching them, it is fun to see it come together in the end.
Nice Glock hoodie. Even better to see Ol' Glory proudly displayed.
Haha you bet! We love our guns and country!
Restore the combine too!! I love too see the older stuff brought back to life!!
No they still have it but it’s in rough shape
It’s in the hundred K live stream about an hour in
i love the moment when the dog sees the smoke and it's all like ; i'm outta here!
Now she starts like a old 4430
Nice job. Sounds good.
Love the timelapse video. That brings back a lot if memories. The square cab. We had the old bi-cool a/c with water and a rotating filter on top of the cab. When you would hit a bump or go off camber, it would soak you with water. Lol. But, it was worth it in the Georgia August heat.
first starts are my favorite part of a build nothing better then a shop full of smoke as it comes to life and that distinct smell of first start diesel. Definitely subscribed for all the tractor awesomeness!!!!!!
+Michael Casella it makes the heart pump after all that work and hearing her fire up for the first time!
This must have been a lot of work! Great job, guys!!
I helped a neighbor put that same 7700 motor in a 4020 powershift. THAT is a fun tractor to run!
You boys sure can party! Love the time lapse
Thank you! It sure is a party working on old machinery:)
Thanks for allowing your farm on Farningham simulator 17 because I like what you have done it
Farming*
it been a while since I have seen this What a different that new lighting inthe shop makes!
I love the tractor,I should buy one when I get older,it’s a nice one
Fantastic sound
Nice! Glad it fit well
That sounds gorgeous in earphones!!!!! Well full stop actually!!!!
+Matthew Hughes haha nice! Gopro microphone too!
WOW so cooll i like the song this tractor make and im suprised you use it today for grain pump trailer i realy cool for a 1969 john deer tractor this tractor dont want go into the back farm scrap he want continue live with welker farmer familly love you guys !
Sounds like a combine😎
Man this looks like fun
I wish we could work on our tractor at that speed lol I'd put it on a time laps and no one would have a clue what we were doing
imagine how many sunrises and sunsets happened....good job.
Dang yall was busier than a ten petered billy goat ! Wish i could get my youngins to move that quick !
Let’s see one of those MM’s get some some. Enjoy watching keep them coming.
You guys need an exhaust collection system. Dealerships in northern Iowa had them 50 years ago so they didn’t have to open doors when it was cold. I remember a dyno test on dads 444 MH in the shop for seems like a hour. No smoke in the shop.
I think it’s insane you can do that I’d never think of doing that!
This tractor have the best sound ever
You should give that old girl a shot of paint. You do such a damn good job of the big buds and that magnum
Time to rebuild other motor and keep for tractor in 10 years as quick replacement.
Nice. Good to see a Deere run again. Nothing like diesel fog in a shop.
Oby-1 Walker farms
I really love ur dogs.. Great Farm Btw
That's a nice shop for working on tractors I wish I had a shop like this I hope to build one that I can store my tractors in and restore them in the same building but it must be nice having all the equipment in that shop to do most of it your self
Another great video Nick.
+Parker Jessen Thank you Parker!
Great work!!
FLAVIO RICARDO to to h

Congratulation Dick , a great work ...
+juan asanelli thanks Juan!
I love that John deer sooooooo much
😂 the dogs reaction on the first start is priceless
Nice work!
Thanks!
That took so long, the dog had pups. Nice transplant.
Man I wish I could rebuild as many machines as y'all do that would be fun
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Good works !!
Karol Czaja nawet tu Polacy XD
No pewnie że chłopaki kręcą epickie filmy to warto obejrzeć :)
I got 4000 1972 year one of the last ones that roled off the pruduction line it and the 4020 are basically the very same tractor it is so versatile and I wouldn't take a share in the railroad for it John Deere should still make tractors like the 20 series and also have 2020 1972 year model and never has the lift ever leaked down on it the 20 series tractors were and are still great tractors
Would love to see more videos on this tractor
Thanks!
+CowBoy21 VLOGS You bet!
Great video! Sad to see that old 7700 put down tho...they were the best in their day and yours looked to be in pretty nice shape considering its age. Hope the tractor serves you well for years to come.
I hear you...It was sad to see it go too, I learned to drive combine at 9 years old in that girl. It was in good shape for it's age and at 3,400 hrs it could have ran more. But It was worth more to us in the engine than a combine. The tractor is a beast now and runs a grain vac like no other.
I have a 8820 John Deere combine with barely 1000hr bout it from a old man who did not use it much great shape
I love the intro
+Timelapse fun Gaming Thanks!
Love the flag.. Awesome touch
Thanks Jon Doe! We love patriotic flags!
I always get good vibes from these videos
Y’all need a exhaust fan to pull that smoke out.
Ist a Really nice idea😂😄
Love it! We had an ole 4020 Jd growing up. I hope to come across one in the next few years an restore it.
I have a JohnDeere-Lanz 310 from 1964!
I love your video from Italy :)
+Alessio Fabbretti Thanks Alessio! I don't know of this sounds cheesy but my wife and I just finished some delicious gyros!
+Alessio Fabbretti Thanks Alessio! I would love to see Italy some day!
Be glad you guys don’t ha e fire alarms in there
At first when I saw the tractor and the combine I thought the engine would be way to big, but once the engine was shown in the combine it looked like a baby engine in the combine.
They are the same engine basically but combine had higher hp:) It works great!
That’ll burn the eyes!
Nice video, sound great too
+Jan Kotze thanks! It's been running strong, only use is powering a Brandt 5200ex grain vac.
Thanks, is it a 4020? sorry for asking maybe I missed it
+Jan Kotze Its a 4520, not sure the exact year.
Thank You Nick
+Jan Kotze you bet!
NICE upgrade. And no regen
The 4520 was so underpowered for the strength of the front end and the rear end. I once saw a 4520 with a 4840 engine. It had a bit of a bump in the hood but that was a much better match for the front and rear ends of the tractor. It could really make silage!! The other major advantage was you got away from the wretched Roosa-Master CDC distributor injection (although most farmers converted them to the DB pump) and now had a P Series Bosch inline injection pump. It also had an intercooler.
the 4840 had a 466 engine also instead of the 404.
Good work, guys! Was hoping for a cummins swap, though.......404's suck
You already had it, though, and as a combine engine it never had any thrust on the crank, and was probably never beat.
I sure miss turning wrenches with my dad. I must have been 8 or 9 he taught me to rebuild the starter off our 4020. Two years later my little brother and i took out the transmission while dad was planting corn. We never got in trouble except for putting the splitting stands on backwards. Good job guys
That is great, always fun working on machinery with family. Thanks for watching!
Nice, used to have a 6600 (which is at least that series of combine), you won't find one better. (Or you might have some things to say about it while in the shop ;))
Wow
👍👍
YEAR 2018 I AM WATCHİNG
My dad had a 4400 once. He converted it to a forage harvester using parts from a junkyard new Holland that didn’t run
R.i.p 7700 John Deere combine how long have you guys had the 7700 turbo? Anyway glad to see that the 4520 is running again you should call is old rloller because it looked as if it was rolling coal in the shop it is understanding that you would make a engine transplant we had to do it with our kenworth a few years ago ah well glad to see that the 4520 is running again great time lapse as always
Rollin' Coal!
Hi I'm new to the channel I have your map in farming sim and I live on a farm in North Dakota I really like your 7700 cobines and your 4520 and l'm a Jonh Deere fan
Thanks!
Are you guys planning on restoring eny of the old tractor that you have sitting around?
That’s awsome .. sounds amazing .. love how you guys repurpose things on the farm .. not only savings in purchasing newer tractor but accomplishing a project together as father an sons .. creating memories forever !! Curious of the horsepower tractor originally had an what it has now ? An combine motor was turbo which the tractor motor probably wasn’t lm guessing ? Really great idea an excellent job well done !!👍
Darren Sager the tractor originally had a turbo
South Dakota Ranch life oh ok thanks for the reply appreciate it 👍
Interesting
You guys should look at getting into the Motorsport of truck and tractor pulling
How much power increase did you see if any? What are each motors rated at?
That's what Dad did. The old Combine had the same engine as our 8N had. Flathead 4. A direct replacement, though. Nothing complicated.
@Ethan Brooks Not our combine. Ours ran a flathead 4 from the Model A Ford (different cam).
@Ethan Brooks No, but that we had a motor from our combine (worn out) that we salvaged, rebuilt and used as a spare in the 8N. As soon as the 8N started getting weak, we'd start rebuilding the other. Worked nice.
@@oldad6207 wouldn’t it just be easier to rebuild the motor in the 8n then switch them?
@@xade7863 Why? Dad worked full time AND farmed. We could switch the engines in a couple of hours and be back in the field.
Then dad could tear it down and rebuilt it at his leisure.
@@oldad6207 still wouldn’t it just be easier to do a in frame rebuild that would take about 8 to 10 hours and not have to pull the motor out
👍👍👍👍👍
Great video! I just replaced my first engine this winter with success 👍. I was wondering where you farm at? Your fields are huge! Our 50 foot cultivator would look tiny in your fields! Haha, once again great video. I love all of them, keep it up!
+Isaac Albert nice work! It's fun replacing an engine, lot of work but fun when done. We farm just outside of Shelby montana. The drone makes them look bigger than they are but to some areas I imagine they are pretty big. Average field is probably 100-150 acres. We only run a 57ft cultivator so not much bigger than yours! Thanks for watching:)
Looks like you got the conbine engine reconditioned?
We didn't do any internal work to the engine, pulled it in a running condition and its been running ever since which is great!
you guys need to restore a combine it would be amazing to see in timelapse
Haha well with wheat prices as low as they are you might see us do that someday! Gotta save money where we can!
You guys should fo a full restoration on it some day
And the combine, too
Some day
12 year old Farmer Trust me they will never touch that old piece of crap combine
wkLeoTrooper There is no point that thing is a piece of junk
I hope you guys saved the original engine!
When an injector fried a cylinder not long after a top end overhaul, we were reluctant to throw any more money into this old 4520 tractor. It only made sense to yank the newer 404 turbo out of our retired 7700 Turbo and mate it to the 4520 frame.
Awesome video! What was the hp gain from the old engine swap
+Drew L Thank you! I could be way off but I seem to think the old engine was 145 hp and this new one is 175 hp. So 30 or so? It definitely feels more powerful!
Nick, when you do your next time-lapsed video, is there a way you can set a timer on your camera to show people how long that 7 minute video ACTUALLY took you guys?
looks good. going to need to do that to my 4520 soon it's got over 14000 hrs on it. that air filter rig looks pretty strong got any more videos/info on it?
14,000 hours is a good life on that engine! I don't have any more videos besides what was seen in that video. The reason we didn't use the original air cleaner is the engine from the 7700 combine had a different exhaust manifold and turbo design than the 4520. We found it easier to reroute the intake to an air cleaner taken from the combine and put it between the passenger rear wheel and frame and then run a snorkel above the cab. Only problem is we run a grain vac and I think that intake sucks up a lot of the dust our vac is putting out haha.
