    Which tractor? John Deere 2150, 2240, 2440, or 2555 wit

    Thanks Steve! I need the loader about half the time. I agree with having the more modern features. Though I still like the older tractor tires that I can work on. Since you have a 2240, do you think it will run a 7 ft king kutter rotary tiller? Id like 7 ft wide to match the width of the...

    Which tractor? John Deere 2150, 2240, 2440, or 2555 wit

    Just wanted some review/feedback on 4 tractors I am comparing before making a purchase. My main uses would be planting wildlife food plots, tilling, mowing with 6 ft brush hog, using 8 ft disk, and Id like to use a 7 ft king kitten rotary tiller. Tractor option 1: 1981 John Deere 2240. 39.6...

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    To clarify, I have not tested the wiring. From what I am gathering, Im still leaning towards my issue being a wiring problem. Since my tractor will not run, my plan is to turn the key to the on position so lights/electric would work. Then take a multimeter/voltage line tester and check all...

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    Since my original post, I have replaced the 12 volt coil with one from Napa that matches the one I replaced. I put 4 new spark plugs in and a new ignition switch. My tractor will start up and run for a few seconds then shutoff. All the wires look good and everything appears connected. My...

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    Im not sure. I will have to look. If it has that ballast resistor, that might just need replaced? Also, assuming it does, can you get those at a standard auto store?

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    I bought one years ago for the model 2010. I have the parts and service manual. They were quite expensive if I recall. I believe they were bought from John Deere.com

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    It was the back of the ignition switch where the key goes. See image attached. I did not touch the ignition coil.

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    I should have been more clear. The ignition switch where the key goes. There are several wires that run into the back that were scolding hot. See attached image from the parts catalog for this tractor.

    John Deere 2010 starts and immediately shuts off

    I was using my 1963 John Deere 2010 to disc a hunting food plot and it shut off. I noticed prior to this it running and then almost shutting off, but revving up after almost shutting off. At those times when it was almost shutting off, I engage the clutch to stop pulling the discs hoping to...

    John Deere 2010 Tractor with a loader or look for anothe

    Do you recommend a certain JD tractor? I was advised to stay away from tractors newer than the late 1980s do to wiring and not easy to work on without going to the JD dealer. Anything is a step up for me from the 2010. I was hoping to do most of the maintenance myself. A nearby tractor...
