Miniature Deere 3020 Tractor Built Out of a Deere 110 Garden Tractor
I thought your readers would like to see this miniature Deere 3020 tractor that I built out of a Deere 110 garden tractor. It isn’t built to any particular scale. I chose the 110 model because it has a hood that looks a lot like a 3020. I replaced all the original tires with larger ones and also installed new fenders that I had made to look like the original 3020 fenders. I also replaced the original steel seat with the seat off a full-size tractor.
The tractor still has its original 8 hp, 1- cyl. Kohler gas engine, and the steering wheel and hood are original. The 3020’s muffler came straight up out of the hood so I made a new muffler by removing the original one and cutting a hole in the hood, then installed a length of bent steel pipe. The tractor has a set of wooden weights on front.
I liked the story in your last issue on the multi-colored Deere Patio Series tractor collection. Last year I bought a Deere 112 Patio Series tractor from a lady in Alabama who had been using it to do her gardening work. The tractor is painted Dogwood White, with the hood and seat painted Sunset Orange. I bought the tractor complete with a blade, rototiller, and cultivating system. Only a small number of Patio Series tractors were ever built. You can’t really call these tractors rare, but they are hard to find.
