So I found the problem... the nut came off the front of the oil pump drive causing the oil pump to stop pumping. I don't know what would cause this, but when I took it apart the nut was in the oil pan and the threads are all messed up. There is significant damage to the rod bearings, and the...

Guys, Looking for advice to help me diagnose a problem with my 2040 diesel. I was clearing snow with it, had been running for about 5 minutes and it just died all of a sudden. It was about 10 degrees out, but the engine was pretty well warmed up. I had over a half tank of diesel in there...

Guys, I need some help. I just bought an old MF7 Massey-Furguson hay wagon frame for $200. Seemed like a pretty good deal... I would like to build the bed for it anyway. I'm really looking forward to being able to pull this behind my baler so I don't have to pick the bales up off the ground...

This baler was on my property when I bought it 8 years ago, I'm now trying to get it running and am new to the hay making business. I need to set the scene... I wanted to do a trial run so mowed a small patch just a week ago that has not been hayed in a while... but has been brushhogged down for...

Hey, I have been around small utility tractors quite a bit but have never done anything with hay until this spring. Have just gotten far enough into it to realize I've got some stuff to learn and repair before I'm ready for hay season. I have a JD 2040, a JD 24T small square baler and a JD No...
