    Adding rear hydraulic ports to early 80's Deere 750

    So am I correct that the tractor already has an open center control valve, whatever that is?

    Yes sir, it does have power steering, but no other accessories (no FEL).

    Adding rear hydraulic ports to early 80's Deere 750

    Not sure if an early 80's Deere qualifies as an "antique", but figured I would probably get the best answers from guys who like old stuff. Dad bought a Deere 750 new in the early 80's. Has a big grooming deck on the back and has been used mostly to mow his large yard. I have a couple of...

    Coolant additive for cylinder cavitation pitting, Deere

    I have a rather large fleet of vehicles and ATV's that maintain, so I used what I already had on hand. Only after I'd filled the cooling system did someone on another forum mention that I should use an additive. I think I might just drain the system and add new coolant from NAPA. I got the...

    Coolant additive for cylinder cavitation pitting, Deere

    I have a 77ish Deere 2640, mainly used for Bush Hogging around the farm. My local radiator shop guy is getting up there in years, and will likely retire soon, so this year I took the radiator off and had him boil it out and get it good and clean. Put it back on, filled with reg green...

    Getting this rebuilt injector pump installed, Deere 2640

    Fought with it more this morning, and was almost certain that the shaft was in the slot in the pump. The nose on the flange was extremely tight going into the hole in the gear casing, so after rotating the pump back and forth, and watching the timing mark move with the movement of the pump...

    Getting this rebuilt injector pump installed, Deere 2640

    Got my rebuilt injector pump in for my 2640. Engine is still at TDC from when I removed it. Pump slot for the head of the shaft is at around 11 oclock on the pump, and the shaft looks like it would go up in there cleanly. Problem is, it won t. I ve watched this guy, but he rattles his...

    Finding tdc on a 2640 deere

    I sent it to a member here. Dieseltech. 10 days back to me including shipping both ways, and price was much better than I had quoted locally. Working on installing it now. This post was edited by jeepwm69 on 07/10/2022 at 04:53 pm.

    Finding tdc on a 2640 deere

    True, I forgot how nuts JD has gotten about their intellectual property. Probably why most of the farmers around here are switching brands. I'll pick up a print copy of the FSM. With ATV's I work on them for family and friends, so having a digital file with a lot of different models really...

    Finding tdc on a 2640 deere

    Looks like my injector pump does need to be rebuilt, so Im going to pull it and send it off. I understand the engine needs to be at top dead center with timing marks and the window on the injector pump lined up. I have done timing belts and chains on lots of gas vehicles, but diesels are a...

    Deere 2640, think injector pump croaked

    Pulled that fitting off and it was indeed full of goop, so I guess that means my plastic bit has disintegrated. Now to find someone to rebuild it.
