    4240 Fuel filter change

    It took all of a minute to change and no issues with trapped air. Not sure if the filter was bad, no water in the fuel but it was old, been on there the three years I've had it. Old filter had the older JD logo on it. I pull a 9' NH 617 disc mower with this tractor and lately it started having...

    4240 Fuel filter change

    I need someone to walk me through changing the fuel filter on my 4240. I only have a manual for a 4440 and it is not the same. Is there a fuel shut off valve under the tank somewhere like the 4440 has? Only way I see to prime it is the little lift pump that runs off the cam? Is this right...

    1850 pto drive hub

    I'm about to install a new pto drive hub and long shaft in my 1850 and was wondering if I should lube the splines with anti-seize or just keep them dry. These are replacement parts from A&I so I'm hoping they hold up simular to an OEM part. This is a low use tractor maybe 15 to 20 hours a year...

    how to hook up outlet for wagon lights

    I just mounted one on my 4240. It's easy enough, the plug can be bought a your local auto parts store, Deere sells a small bracket that mounts the plug above the scv or you could make one. I connected the ground wire to the bracket bolt @ the scv, the tail lights and flashers wires I tied in...

    4240 - Brazke lights?

    Would a 4240 (with SG cab) have brake lights. I didn't see it mentioned in the manual and as far as I could tell they didn't illuminate when pressing the pedals. I got my light receptacle all hooked up by tying into the wiring under the right front cab, grounded it where the bracket bolts to the...

    Tx Jim - 4240 light recepticle question

    I am hooking up a light receptacle on my 4240 so that I will have tail lights / flashers working on my NH baler. From Deere I bought the outlet part # AR75695 and what I think is the proper wiring harness part # AR75696. This is a two - wire harness and I need to know if this is the correct...

    New Holland round baler sledge gears

    I've got this New Holland 688 round baler and I am wondering if the sledge gears should be lubed from time to time. The guy I bought it from said you're supposed to run them dry so that dirt does not collect between the teeth and cause more wear. Is this right? I don't see anything in the manual...

    will a 265 ldr fit on 4450

    265 is what I have on my 4240. Its my understanding that the 42 and 44 are the same size the difference being a turboed engine in the 44. Of course, this is the 40 series I"m talking about but I believe the 50 series stayed the same size frame wise. Good, heavy loader. Will be a good match for...

    MF 35 rear main seal

    I have a 1962 MF 35 with the Perkins diesel. I was having cranking issues turning over too slow. Battery checked good, troubleshot it to the starter. Pulled the starter and it looked like it was bathed in motor oil. Is this an indication of a blown rear engine seal? It was low on motor oil. Also...

    Rocking the steering wheel for start up

    I have two twelve volt batteries in tandem. I am in south Texas so cold weather is not a big concern. I was just curious about the steering wheel method. I will look my pump over to see if it has the modification. Thanks for the useful replys.

    Rocking the steering wheel for start up

    Soooo, this will help on my 4240 as well? It fires right off in normal weather but turns over for a few seconds when it's in the 30's & 40's. I have been putting the charger on the batteries a few hours prior to starting just to ensure they are hot and that helps. I refuse to use ether on...

    Rocking the steering wheel for start up

    I have seen guys rocking the steering wheel back and forth when cold starting a new gen or gen II Deere. What does this do for it to make it start easier?
