I can fab a bit with stick welder and some cutting. But I am not the best.

Correct, trying to figure out the best way and if the newer JD style would fit my pins with the older 146?

Yes it’s jd146 loader. Pin on style. I don’t have the jd4300 anymore.

I would like to keep it as cheap as possible! LOL Sure, send the link. Thanks. Was hoping JD made a part or could get some take offs from newer JD, but not sure if the carriage will fit.

I've seen some of these, but was hoping a lesser expensive option.

Hello all, I have an older 2240 with 146 loader. The bucket is pin style, but would like to convert it to quick attach to I can get some pallet forks, as I use them more. What would be the best route to covert? Thanks.

So picked up the tractor yesterday. It does not have the hi/lo on the left side. Looks to have just throttle on right of steering wheel, hi/low/reverse on left and gears on right stick. Anyone happen to know the shifts patterns?

I don’t see a left lever of the steering wheel in the pics they sent. But will find out tomorrow.

I can post video when I check it out. From everything Ive seen online, i see 2 sets of shifters. So guessing it has hi/low gearing? But wont know for sure until the 28th.

Hey all, Looking at a '79 2240 4wd with fel. Tractor is about 3 hours away so I want to be on my toes checking it out. He sent me a video, but that's hard to tell. Said no leaks and everything works as it should. Said spent about 5k replacing some hydraulic lines, clutch, seals, etc. I have a...

I know right! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️[emoji51]

Thank. I bought it used from a owner 6 years ago out of town. Tractor doesn’t get used too much and has been deff over due for flush/change. I am thinking it’s from someone trying to change gears (A/B/C) while it’s in motion as it’s a Hydro. I’ve let buddies borrow it and heard it grind before...

Not 100% on hours. I’m second owner. Maybe 1500 hours or so. The meter doesn’t work too well. First time I have serviced myself. No one ever mentioned it before.

So I went to change out all hydraulic fluid today. When I got to the screen it is a bit concerning as there are shavings and chunks of metal! Lots. Should I be concerned? ‘01 JD 4300 hydrostat

I tried the test today. Unfortunately, its still so wet out and I dont have anything close to load. But I drove the tractor up and down the drive with the forks on it, as it seems to be heavier than the bucket. It didnt seem to move much. But once I started hitting the bumps it started to...
