I have a 4940C with the same seat. The plastic blocks on mine shattered as well. I made my own out of aluminum. Been working fine ever since. Your pictures show the correct position. My seat is over 15 years old and still works fine. Leather is cracked though so need some reupholstering.

Interesting thought. Will have to check that. Thanks.

It sputters and dies. Thanks.

Sorry for being late with the reply. It does it in neutral as well as in gear. Does it anytime you try and accelerate.

I have an old (like 50 years old) Lincoln tobmstone, a gas outfit, had a Harbour Freight 120 amp MIG, a Miller AC/DC stick welder gas powered, and now have a Hobart 190 with spool gun. I'm on a ranch so have a wide variety of welding chores. My dad was foreman of the welding department at a...

Got a R4041 which starts alright. When I hit the accelerator the engine dies. Replaced the fuel filter. Fuel shutoff valve works. Fuel is getting to the injectors. Not sure what is wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks.

I can tell you where one of the "old LS tractors is". It's in my yard. I have an note: LG Montana 4940C. Which is what LS used to be called back in the day. I've had it for about 15years now and it was new old stock when I bought it. It was three years old at the time. Had minor problems but...

Did you ever get your door? I have broken RH one. Not my doing but I need to find one now. A/C doesn't work very well without it.

I need a right hand door for my 4940C. Any one have ideas for this?

MIG with small gauge wire. Must be a gas machine and stitch weld it. Or carefully braze it. Brazing takes same skill level as tug though.

I recently got a G1900S with only 190 hours on it. It sat in a garage for almost 20 years..... It has a weird intermittent issue in that it won't crank. All the lights come on as well as the glow plug timer and other lights work. Then after a while of leaving it sit is will start. When it is...

I'm 75. Stihl FarmBoss is the only saw I have/use for 60 foot tall pine trees here in East Texas. I have a 22 inch bar on mine. Best chainsaw ever.... Key things with any chainsaw..keep it sharp. Don't use power grinder for sharpening. Causes too much heat. Only need four strokes on each tooth...

I have Dewalt NiCads that are over 10 years old and still work like the day I bought them. Key to NiCads is to run them to dead before recharging. You will avoid the memory effect of NiCads. I also like my Lithium batts in my other cordless tools. Like others say though when they run out they...

Pick the biggest tractor then go a step higher...Sage advise given to me. I followed it and never regretted it. 10 hp definitely makes a big difference in all kinds of things besides PTO. The tractor will be heavier, so when picking up stuff with your bucket it will sure payoff. Moving round...

I have a five gallon pail of Hydraulic fluid. I bought a filler for it. It replaces the top of the 5 gallon can with its cover and the pump is in the center of the cover. It comes with a long clear hose and a "J" shaped steel tube that goes into the dip stick whole. This setup works like a charm...

Go see Alex at RCO tractors in Greenville (well they are actually a little south of Greenville). He has been a really big help for me getting parts for my Montana 4940C and for my neighbors 4041...

Welcome to the forum....😁

It took me a while but I found that sucker. It is on the bottom of the injector pump. It is kind of difficult to see but if you look closely you will see it. The part from Montana aka LS is like $50.00. I got the exact same part off Amazon Amazon.com: Mover Parts Fuel Cut-off Injection Solenoid...

So I came out the other day to start my Montana and it wouldn't start. It had run just fine the day before. I thought it might be a fuel filter issue so I changed that. Primed it up no problem. But still no go. I checked the 10 amp fuse for the fuel shut off valve and it was fine. Tested it with...

Make sure this is mild steel not hardened. If hardened drills won't work you will need to use a plasma cutter or torch. Don't ask me how I know.....Lessoned learned at the expense of several drill bits. Good luck.

I have been waiting almost a year for a glass door my "LG" tractor. This is what LS used to call themselves. Not only have I been waiting for a year for this thing but they sent two others saying they are the correct one to the dealer only to find out that neither of them were correct. Both had...

I wonder if someone can tell me how long the two cables are for the hydraulic control from the Nimco WV300 joystick down to the control valve on the 4940C. I'm away from the tractor and I can measure myself. I want to order a new cable for the FEL up/down control before I return to the tractor...

My Montana 4940C has the WV300 (I believe) Nimco control with the CV432 valve. When I push the control lever forward the FEL will lower but when I pull the control back there is no resistance like it normally should and the FEL will not raise. The bucket tilt works just fine in both directions...

My bucket leaks down over night. Hence I believe that one or most likely both of the tilt cylinders need repacking. Sooo....my question is does anyone know who builds these cylinders for Montana so I can order the repack kits? Here will be greatly appreciated. By the way this is on a 4940C.

I have a LG-Montana 4940C tractor. Can anyone tell me what the equivalent in the LS model line this would be? Thanks.

After almost 700 hours on my 4940C my tachometer is acting up. When the engine has been running for a while at over 1500 rpm, the tachometer will take off and pin itself. The only way to stop this is to shut the engine down and restart. I took the cable off at the tach in the dash and put dry...

Does anyone have any good closeup photos of WR Long's Grapalator? There doesn't seem to be one around in East Texas that I can go see close up and personal. The web pictures are either poor quality or taken far out so can't see the details. Thanks. Glenn.

I want to change my fuel filter but I'm worried about the bleeding procedure so I can get it restarted after the change. Does anyone know this procedure? Glenn.

I broke my rear window some time ago and have been trying for a very long time to get one through my local Montana dealer (the only one left around here) without any success. He tells me that LS is not shipping parts as they are building a 50,000 tractor order for New Holland. True or not, I"m...

Ok, so I showed you the magnetic outside clamps. Now here is another little gem that I use. We have a local hardware store (well that hardly describes what Hooten's really is) that carries just about everything you would ever want when it comes to Hardware. They started out as Hooten's Pipe and...

I don't usually endorse products, but every once in a while along comes something that just fits the bill for a job I'm doing. Around here we use a lot of pipe for fencing, building buildings, and just about anything else. We have a small vineyard and at the end of each row I have installed some...

I read this in this mornings Yahoo news. I have been telling the young people I know for quite some time to look closely at the trades if they want good paying jobs with a future. Since the 1970s, parents have been told that a university degree -- and the entry it affords into the so-called...

I have a John Deere model 39 sickle mower. It's a great mower, does an excelllent job, but it's a pain in the ***** when it comes to moving it or even connecting it onto the tractor. A number of the TBN members have built great dolly's for PHD's, tiller's, etc. so my question is has anyone...

I have a NH271 with the gauge wheel pickup option. However, along the way to me the rope has disappeared along with the spring, and the rope guide. I've got most of it figured out but I need to see what the rope guide looks like and the internal routing of the rope. Here's a couple of pictures...

I bought an older NH271 locally and the gauge wheel on the pickup reel was mangled. I could really use a picture showing how it is attached (correctly) to the pickup reel. I have the manual and parts list but the drawings don't show it all that well. Also, any pictures of a bale quarter turn...

I was shredding yesterday when a tree jumped out and bit my left mirror on my 4940C. It broke the curve glass but the rest was OK. The dealer's in my area are all gone. Some got out of the business and others switched to other brands. Any suggestions on replacements? The rear window shattered a...

I see lots of good sized tents around that are used as sun shades at car dealers, car washes, vendor tents that use galvanized corners that the poles fit into. These are usually comprise a galvanized bent pipe to about 110 or 120 degrees and a stub pipe welded at 90 degrees to that to form the...

I just got a Ford IO-95 cultivator "thrown in on another deal". Well it cost me $50.00 but I consider it a throw in. I can't read the serial number but I was able to read the part number. I have a couple of items that need to be modified before I can use it. One is the spacing between the pins...

Here's my take on a manlift I'm building. I've got lots of tall trees to be trimmed, a 15 foot high gate that needs painting and a bunch of other tall projects to do so I've been wanting to get this done for a while. I'll post pictures as this progresses but here's the first of them: This is...

Here's a picture of the chop saw stand I've been building for a while. Like many of my projects they get a certain amount of time but then get interrupted for more pressing jobs. I know that never happens to anyone else. At any rate they get built to a useable stage but usually get pressed into...

STAY AWAY FROM MONTANA. I bought mine a year ago, a 4940C with FEL. When I got it there were 42 hours on it. I now have over 250. It has had revery regular maintenance. It was a demo that sat in Kansas for three years. I had looked around East Texas for quite a while but the Bobcat dealer in...

I have a 4940C and I'm now replacing the third cupholder. Montana has been using these wimpy little fold up plastic cup holders that mount to the left pillar back of the door. The big problem with these is that the base has a tendancy to get bumped and snap off. Too much leverage for the small...

I snapped a grade 5 bolt on my bush hog pto shaft the other day and I've been considering adding a clutch to it. The bush hog (actually a 5 foot King Kutter) is pretty old but normally works just fine. I was replacing the bolt and talking with one of the old local cowboys about it. He told me...

I often mused about backhoe's and what I could use it for around the place. I worry however about the removal and reattachment all the time vs buying a dedicated used backhoe tractor. I'd be very interested in what current owners of the Montana backhoe attachment have to say and what the price...

The other day I was haying and as the diesel was running low in the tank I decided to head to the barn to fill up. It was a usual day these days in Texas with the temp over the century mark. Anyway as I was filling up I noticed that the diesel was coming out and creating a minor environmental...

And now for the missing pictures: You'll see what Buddy actually looks like. I've got a 5 foot King Kutter on the back right now and off to the left edge is a 7 foot shredder. I've been renovating the horse pasture over the last couple of days. I've taken some shots of the interior. The cooler...

I am now the proud owner of a "brand new" Blue Montana 4940C complete with a Green FEL. I cannot speak highly enough about Alan Hosey of MidKan in Maize, Kansas and Jay Fleetwood of Montana Tractors. What a great pair of gentlemen to deal with. So how did I get a Blue "New" Montana tractor...

As I noted in another thread, I am looking at a 5740 with the new curved FEL arms and a 4540 with the older straight FEL arms. They will both price out about the same and similar warranties. Here's my use: 15.5 acres of flat pasture. Will be haying most of it. Mowing, baling, stacking of...

I have been looking at a 5740 locally and also a 4540 out of Florida. Both have existing warranties. However, would the warranty on the Florida tractor be honoured by the Texas dealers? Maka maybe you can shed some light on this for us. I know usually the distributor/manufacture discounts the...

I'm new to this forum. Just purchase 15.5 acres and am looking for a good used FEL tractor. I have come across a ISEKI TL2901 4x4 and I'm wondering if anyone can fill me in on this tractor. What I've found out so far is that it has 38HP, 4 cyl. diesel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
