john deere 2120

Hey all. So I have an old 2120, can't remember the year off the top of my head, but one the old ones. Lately, I've been having trouble getting it into gear. Most times when I have the Clutch fully in, the gears grind bad, almost like the clutch isn't in at all. Then sometimes it seems to not...

Hello Everyone! My 2120, aside from figuring out the breaking issue this weekend, when I'm shifting from forward to reverse or High range to Low range I can always get it out of gear but going to where I want it to go sometimes required me to go back in the range I left, move the tractor...

Hello Everyone, I have a JD 2120 with a billion hours on it. I usually have the brake lock on to engage both pedals at the same time but the other day I flipped over the latch as I needed to do some tight turns and I noticed that the right pedal I had to pump twice before it would brake. The...

Hello Everyone, Is it normal for the 3pt arms to drop when operating the front end loader? New rockshaft seal kit was done on the 3pt piston housing. New spools and seats as well since I was there. To be honest, I don't recall the arms dropping before, but I never really tested it like I just...

Hi. I have a John Deere 2120. I have only had it a couple months, its in fairly good shape. It has a hydraulic leak that comes from under the right hand floor board. There is a metal line that comes from the front pump into this (valve?) then it feeds up to the control that runs the remotes...

Hi. I just bought a John Deere 2120. Its in pretty good shape. I was wondering if someone can tell me how to check the hydraulic oil? Also what type of oil do they take? I can't find a dipstick on it anywhere. Thank you very much for any help. Dan

Fired up the tractor this morning to blow some snow away before the big melt starts and once I had it running under a good load I saw smoke coming from the engine. I thought the exhaust manifold cracked but it looks like its coming from above that, looking more closely I see that one of the...

Has anyone ever done this before with a JD setup? My 2120 has 1 remote at the moment, but I'd like to add a second. How would I go about doing this? I assume it would be the same process for the 3140. They seem to have similar setups with these valves. I just don't know what parts I would need...

Hello Everyone, I had the clutch, pressure plate etc done at the dealer last fall and have only put on 30 hours in the last 8 months on the tractor. My question is should I not be able to shift the range selector from 1 to 2 or from 2 to reverse without having the gears shudder / grind while...

Hello Everyone, I've been noticing that its becoming harder and harder for me to take off in High range / 8th gear under no load but its own weight even. Seems as though I really need to fan the clutch to get it rolling or I will stall it, but enough that it seems I'm burning the clutch to get...

Hello, Does anyone know where this is located on the tractor? Reason being is that I suspect it to be failing as I'm starting to have a hard time lifting bales with the JD 175 loader that is attached to it. Fluids were changed in the fall, filter and screen was all taken apart by myself and...

Does anyone know why the 3 point links would slowly raise up under no real load? If I'm using the snow blower or bush hog and never look back I wouldn't be doing much of any work because as I drive, the links slowly rise up and I constantly need to lower the lever again to bring them it back...

Hello, Can someone help me with a service repair book for this model of tractor JD 2120 from '71 or with the explanation of how to change the back shaft from the wheel? Thanks!

Was loading up a heavy piece of equipment on a trailer the other day using the loader and that job was done, before I even parked it and shut it off for the night, the tractor wouldn't idle properly. It would run normal at idle, then drop, almost stall out, pick back up. Repeat that cycle a few...

Hello Everyone! I just picked up my first 2120, a oldie but a goody for sure. Anyways, have a question on shifting gears. I understand it doesn't have a syncro so that you have to come to a full stop to change gears. What I am seeing is if I'm going forward and I want to go backwards (picking...

I just purchased a 1971 JD 2120. I own a medium size horse ranch in Missouri and thought it would make a great everyday tractor. I got it from the widow of the original owner (supposely). I have not been able to find much info about this mainly Euro and Canadian tractor. I bought it because of...

About halfway through the year, my John Deere 2120 3 pt hitch began operating funny. It still raises and lowers, but the stop positions seem to be messed up. I can raise the implement, but position control is all but gone. Any raising of the control arm causes the 3pt to raise all the way to...
