john deere 2440

So I have a 2440 and the Top cover is leaking on one of the SCV's for a dual remote system. I bought a new packing and replaced it and it is still leaking.. The packing I purchased was for a single SCV.. Could that be it? I feel stupid asking this, but am I am missing something? I feel this...

Is there a reputable but cheaper fluid over Hy Gard? Been seeing Harvest King John Deere at the local rural king.

Whats the recommendation for pressure on a 2440 with loader? Rear has fluid. My rear one looks low since temp has changed.

My JD 2440 won't start, even put new batteries in it plus the lights aren't working. Turn the ignition switch and nothing happens, Gage's don't even light up.

JD 2440 Splitting & Disassembly Issue, Independent PTO (Less Hi-Lo & Reverser) Sorry for this long post, but I tend toward being **** when trying to be complete! Developed a PTO issue this past year. PTO was slipping under load and would not stop when disengaged. Replaced a broken pressure...

Seeing several different ones online. How can I verify which i have? Leaking terrible and need to replace.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a used flail shredder/mower. It did not have a manual, but the owner said my tractor should be fine to handle it. Well I use a JD 2440 with a HP rated at 60. I found a manual online for the shredder and it says minimum HP required is 65. So am I out of...

I have just finished replacing the charge pump and one of the pick up lines on my 2440. The Hi-Lo works, the power steering works again, the three point hitch works, the only thing i cant get to work is the PTO. When i pull up on the lever it makes a whining/groaning sound but it wont engage...

Hello everyone. I am 100% new to this sight, so please excuse my rookie qualities. I need an answer on my big screw up. I was driving my dad's John Deere 2440 doing some ground prep work and it died on me. Turns out that I ran out of diesel. My dad and I put diesel in and bleed the main...

The JD 2440, part of a property purchase, has two dents in the hood. The biggest dent is 2.5-3 inches deep and wide and perhaps ten inches long. Because of the dents, the hood does not fit properly. The sheet metal is quite thick and not easily manipulated. I would appreciate advice on how to...

I want to replace the vertical muffler on my 2440. The muffler from John Deere is about $150. A replacement muffler from Steiner Tractor is $50. What could be the difference in the two mufflers?

My 2440 does not have a FEL but it sure would be handy to have one on it. Without power steering, how practical is a FEL on a 2440?

Winter has already begun with lots of snow here in Vermont. I recently acquired a 2WD 2440 (1980-1981 vintage) with the purchase of a farm and would like to know: 1. How well does it perform in snow? 2. Do I need chains to use it in snow? Type of chains? Thanks in advance for any advice?

I have a JD 2440 tractor & was wondering if I could install a JD 148 Loader instead of a JD 146.

Needs some input. The lift arms only come up when I release the clutch and start driving. They also start coming down when i press down on the clutch. Changed the hydraulic filter with no change. Any ideas what might be the cause. Hydraulic pump?

Looking to see if there are any PTO, Hydraulic pros out there? On my 2440 my PTO is slow to engage, once it builds up speed it sounds good but if I put it to low in about 10 inch grass it dang near stops turning, if I leave it a little off the ground where the wheel is not touching it runs a...

Good Morning to everyone. When all my apples are picked I lend my mechanical abillities to other farmers on their equipment. Neighbor Farmer called the other day and said his JD 2440 wouldnt lift the bucket without chattering and that the 3pt hitch arms were really slow to come up when the...

I have a 1979 JD2440 with dual remotes. When I try to raise tailgate on baler or raise hay mower I dont get any response unless 3point lift is raised all the way up. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

I'm looking at a John Deere 2440 with a factory JD 146 loader. It has one extra set of rear remotes. My concern is the hydraulic pump flow, which is rated at 6 GPM. That seems low, but looking for feedback. The primary additional hydraulic attachment I want to add is a hydraulic auger...

Hello, neighbors 2440 (yes really my neighbors) hydraulics are squealing. When using the rear remotes to operate the loader and or operating the 3pt lift the noise goes away. As soon as hyd pressure is not needed the noise resumes. Steering circuit has no effect on noise (works great). He...

I have a '79 JD 2440. When I am bushogging and get into heavy material, the PTO stops turning. The engine does not pull down, just the PTO stops. When I raise the mower up to ease up on the load, the PTO starts turning again. Any thoughts on what might be the problem.

Where do you add hydraulic fluid to a JD 2440? I assume the tractor is low on fluid because as a drive the bucket slowly falls without me touching the controls

My Grandpa has a John Deere 2440 at his place that doesnt get used all that much anymore.

I have a JD 2440 with a problem. Diesel is leaking into the engine oil somehow. So far I have replaced the lift pump and that did not fix the problem. What other things should I be looking for to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Is there an online maintenance/owner's manual for a John Deere 2440? If so, where? I specifically need to know the quantitiy of hydraulic oil needed by this tractor to replace/purge hydraulic oil that has become contaminated with water. Also where's the best place to get a hydraulic oil...

Can anyone tell me how much oil should be in a 2440? I don't have an operator's manual (yet) and I can't find anywhere that will tell me how much oil to put in. Thanks in advance.

I have a 1976 John Deere 2440 that seems to have intermittent issues with the injector pump. Sometimes (especially if the tractor was previously shut down without disengaging the clutch) it is very hard to start the engine, and when it does start, it will only rev to about 1500 RPM. If I...

John Deere 2440 tractor 3 point lift only lifts at high RPM's after reaching operating temperature, what could be causing this problem?

I own a JD 2440 1982. The clutch will not engage under load, gets worse the hotter the tractor gets. Ive been only shifting when pointed downhill or lifting the implement out of the soil. Am I looking at a rebuild of the hydraulic clutch or is there another less expensive way to repair?

Hi I just bought a used John Deere 2440. The PTO will not engage when the Tractor is running and an emplement is hooked up. I can shut it off, engage the PTO, start it back up and the emplement works great. If there is no emplement hooked up the PTO will engage while the tractor is running with...

Is there anybody that has any tips and info. about the 2440? Any tips, hints, and experiences would be greatly appreciated. I will be using it and the loader for everyday chores and possibly for hay next year.

Hello Does anyone know of an tractor appraisal site on the web? I would like to get a rough idea about the value of a John Deere 2440 that's for sale by me. Thanks Tick

I'm looking at purchasing an '82 2440. Runs great & looks good. The 3PT chatters a bit going up when cold and after a few hours quits raising altogether. When cool everything returns to "normal". Does this sound like a bad hydraulic pump? Assuming the simple things like oil and filter were...

I am thinking about purchasing a JD2440 for all the Right reasons (Right price, Right condition, Right color, Right place at Right time) from a private owner. Basic tasks include rotary mowing and tillage, as well as back/box blading, post hole drilling/pounding etc - you know - all around...
