I need to get a new air compressor to replace the old Craftsman ( which is really loud!). I don't run a huge shop and I don't sand blast but I still run all the usual tools ( die grinders, impacts etc.). Now because I am a student I have to insert this disclaimer, I'm not made of money :money...

Hello everyone I have a 1952 Farmall H that I am trying to get running. It has't ran in 30 years and before that wasn't ran much. The owner died and it has sat in the barn until I cam along and bought it. That being said the engine oil had separated so I changed it. Then I moved back to change...

Hello everyone it's warming up here (finally) and the time to start plowing and planting is coming up fast. I got a JD 2240 last year and didn't get a chance to do much tillage work with it. That being said all I want to do is plant small patches of corn for deer mainly and a small profit to...

I was diging around under the hood of my 65 the other day and discovered that it was equiped with two auto-lite horns ( I always wondered what that button on the dash that does nothing was for). They are stuffed up in front of the radiator and appear to be origional equipment. However I cant...

Hello everyone, here in Michigan it is getting colder as I'm sure a lot of you experienced and the snow is immanent. That being said I bought my 2240 earlier this year when it was warm and I am new to the compact and diesel tractor world. This past week it was below freezing (around 25 degrees)...

Hello everyone, I have a 2240 and the tachometer doesn't work exactly. The rest of the dash works, fuel,temp, hour meter, lights. The only problem is that the tach says I am pulling 2000 rpm even when I'm idling, its got power but it goes to 2000 rpm and doesn't move off unless I really get on...

Hello everyone, I was using my 2240 with a 6ft blade on the back to level out some gravel and I lifted the blade up and when I went to put it back down it wouldn't go down. I went out to see if it would work today and when I started it up the blade went all the way up and down about 4 times then...

Hello everyone, I have a John deere 2240 and I was looking around while I was working on it and noticed that there is some kind of sensor in the intake pipe right above the filter box. Now the strange thing to me is that the wire from this sensor goes to the sender pump in the gas tank...

Hello everyone, I have been working on this problem for a while and I cant seem to find the problem. My 2240 wont turn over, it sounds like the armature of the starter is coming out and contacting the flywheel but it wont turn it over. I have replaced the batteries with new 800cca batteries and...

Hi everyone, I am going to sell my old massey 65. Im not looking to sell it over the internet, i was just looking for some more opinions on what it might be worth. It was made in 1965, it is a c code so its the high clearence model with the continental 4 cylinder, and it has the optional...

Ok so my father recently bought a John Deere 2240 with a 143 loader, and the tractor only has 2100 hours on it. However he is aging in years so any problems the tractor has falls back on me. So all that being said after the tractor has been used for a while say an hour and a half or so doing...
