    Ford 860 12 volt conversion question

    I recently had an issue with the starter on my 55 Ford 860 failing to release from the ring gear. I was able to free it with some difficulty. After removal I noticed some damage to a section of the ring gear. I found a past post that stated this could be caused by using a 6 volt starter on a...

    Spray in transmission

    I've seen many folks say that a good test for checking transmission is to open the filler cap and check for spraying. I checked mine.....when I look in there, there's no spraying, but I do have a very steady drip on one side. Is this a sign of a problem, or should I see some dripping? This is...

    Transmission Fluid Level

    I bought a used JD 2640. Right now it's running OK, but the last couple of times out, it ran fine for a while, then the hydraulics quit. Last time it ran great for about 5 hours, the hydraulics starting failing, so I parked it.....by the next morning it worked fine. Today it ran fine for an...

    Transmission Filter screen

    I have a JD 2640 that I bought used. Since I had no idea of how long ago the transmission had been serviced, if ever, I thought it wise to change the transmission filter. This tractor has a filter plus a transmission screen, which is a cylinder about two inches in diameter and about ten inches...

    Nose Cone Fit

    I have a JD 2640 tractor. I bought a new nose cone from Yesterday's Tractor. I checked the part numbers and they sent me the right part number according to my early serial number. The old cone was broken so bad that it's hard to tell if the new one is the same size. But when I place it next to...

    Balancer Shafts

    The JD2640 has two engine Balancer Shafts. I've noticed considerable wear on the center and aft bearings. Is this common?

    Engine Rebuild - Parts Question

    Well, I called Maxiforce. Since I'm just a farmer they wouldn't sell to me directly and referred me to their "largest seller" in the fourth largest city in the US, which is not far from me. That place said they didn't sell for John Deere tractors and gave me another place to call. That place...

    John Deere Rod Cap Screws

    OK, so I'm fairly mechanical and my JD 2640 engine needs new sleeves and pistons, so I decided to do it myself. Partly because I just wanted to do it for the challenge. So today I start to remove the rod caps and bearings, and lo and behold, the rod cap bolts are not regular hex shape. They...

    Removing Fuel Injector

    I am doing a re-sleeve job on a John Deere 2640. While I was pulling the head, three of the four fuel injectors came out fairly easily, but the fourth is giving me trouble. It really stuck. Since this is the first time I've done this type of job, I was unsure of how much force I could put on...
