    montana 4540 won't crank

    Hello, I have a 2006 Montana 4540 which died when I was bushhogging and will not crank. Is there an electrical relay switch that works off ignition to ignite fuel pump or is there an electric fuelpump in tank?

    Montana 4540 is indentical to what tractor

    I have a Montana 4540 which has been a great tractor. I have a woods bh7500 backhoe that I would like to get a subframe mount for it. Woods says they do not make a subframe mount for Montana tractors. I was under the impression that the 4540 had a clone in another brand. Maybe McCormick...

    Montana 4540 pto speeds

    The users manual on this tractor has me confused. From the way that I read it, the pto runs 540 rpm with engine speed at 2300 rpm with the range selector in low range. Even in 4th gear I can walk faster than it moves. Am I wrong that it has to be in low range for 540 rpm? I don't want to...

    Montana 4540 ticking

    My Montana 4540 is at 170 hours. The engine has been smooth, quite and what I would consider perfect running. In the last couple of months I have noticed some very light ticking coming from the engine until it warms up. No big deal, I thought. Then I noticed while digging today that the engine...

    Montana 4540 design flaw?

    I have a Montana 4540 with about 100 hours on it. Mostly easy work around the homestead. I had mentioned before that the exhaust shooting out the side of the tractor caused the right FEL cylinder to turn black and look ugly. No big deal, I didn't buy the tractor to look pretty. But now I believe...

    I'm performing the 50 hour fluid change on my tractor. The manual says change the oil, front diff, transmission/hydraulic, and read diff fluids. That's a lot of fluid (10 gallons or so).

    Forks  Pallet Forks for my LG Montana 4540

    I have a new LG Montana 4540 tractor. I got the FEL with quick disconnect bucket. I haven't took it off yet, but it has a lever that slides and you drive out from under it, I think. Looks simple enough. I would like a set of Pallet forks that would work with this quick disconnect system. Are...
