Removing 3020 Starter

Bill Becker · Mar 15, 2013

Is there a special tool I can purchase to remove the starter from my 3020? If so, where can I get one or is there another "tool" I can use to remove the starter?

Are you talking about getting the back bolt out? If so, there is a special wrench, or I use a really short 9/16 wrench.

The special tool is JDE-80. It is a 9/16" wrench with a long, bent handle.

Yes- finally bought one years ago- it is as others described. Finally talked my friend into buying a JD- gave him that wrench as a gift! No more grief with a socket and extended handle. Years ago, cost about 10-12 bucks. It's a weird looking sucker, but wraps around the starter very nicely!

I have one from Craftsman no. 4376. 9/16 & 5/8 should work. Most times considered a starter wrench.

I usually modefy a cheapy wrench to suit the occasion,..the S wrenches don't always fit either

I bought one many years ago off the Snap-on guy just for removing the pump motor on a certain model of commercial dish washing machine.

I used a 2 foot ext on my 3/8 rachet, to get that bolt off for the starter on my 4020. :shock:

Go to any Deere dealer they should have one in stock,not sure of the price but after trying to do without one price was not an issue.We have a dozen Deere tractors so that wrench has got a good workout over the years.

They are correct in that you need a JDE-80 starter wrench. It makes removing the starter fairly easy. Here is a picture of one.
