    1963 4140 HD Industrial 4-cylinder - Need help with powe

    Model 41400S Serial number 19120 I recently purchased a 1963 Ford 4140 Heavy-duty Industrial 4-cylinder tractor backhoe loader. I've completely pressure washed and degreased the entire tractor and all hydraulic manifolds/lines and fixed all the leaks. I replaced the radiator with the all...

    JD 40C crawler engine quitting

    I can see the choke isn't connected to the governor, just that when I had the choke out, the governor was moving in and out. When I pushed the choke in the engine died pretty quickly afterwards.

    Thanks, Jim: I'm not sure where the screens are. I assume there is one inside the carb body? And on the sediment bowl is there one inside the tank and another in the cap of the bowl? See arrows.

    JD 40C crawler engine quitting

    Hi folks: here's what I checked today: 1. Fuel inlet screen: I took off the hard line and there was no screen at either end. 2. Coil is not heating up. 3. I used some choke to start it this time ( I haven't had to usually) and with the choke out I noticed that it seemed to be moving the...

    Thank you for these suggestions: I will check the brass fuel screen, coil & condenser and report back.

    JD 40C crawler engine quitting

    Hi folks. I have a fairly new to me 40 c gasoline engine crawler that yesterday developed an issue whereby after starting and running fine for about 5 minutes it just died. It starts again with some effort, but then dies again after a minute or two. I have checked the fuel flow at the carb and...

    MF 135 3 point/hydraulic issues

    Sorry, it's confusing how I wrote it: on the control lever (10) towards the bottom there's an adjusting screw. I was also looking at another diagram from my parts book that showed another screw at the bottom of the lower lever (11) that isn't shown on the picture I posted. Adjusting the...

    Result. I was able to make the adjustment by screwing in the top screw on the control arm so it would engage the pump sooner. It's now raising and lowering as it should.

    I found another thread that says 6 gallons won't overflow if you take the right side plate off, so I will check the pump assembly today. Alright. When the PC lever is moved towards UP the pump engages and the lift shudders and wants to raise but doesn't quite make it. If I squeeze the lever...

    Okay I have changed the strainer and put in 6 gallons of new fluid, but no change. Can I take off the right side cover with the 6 gallons in, or do I need to drain it again. (I know it takes 8 gallons. )

    I haven't tried it without the implement. I will before I change the fluid.

    I acquired the tractor last summer . About 1 out of 10 tries, the implement will lift when I pull the lever. Otherwise it stays put unless I get off the seat, go to the back of the mower and pull up. Then the arms raise, but over a few minutes they lower back down. I reckon there is a leak or...
