Needing to add fluid at the rear axle dipstick - not sure what to use. No luck so far in anything online. I hope that maybe someone here has had experience. thank you in advance.

I have had this tractor about 2 years now. Got it used from a fella that also got it and used it for mowing about 2 years and sold to me with around 300 hrs. I had to have the font end rebuilt as the front wheel right literally fell off. After $3500 and 12 weeks, I got it back and all was...

Hi everyone, A guy is selling his 2008 5740C for $12,500 CAD. It has 1200 hours and comes with a bush hog, finish mower, box blade and rototiller. He says the AC doesn't work and there are a few pieces of glass broken on the cab, some lights need repairing. He figured $4k to replace it all. I...

Hi. I am a new member, but have referenced TBN quite often. I just bought a used PT-1850. It is old (2003), but low hours. It sat outside a while, so will likely have some things come up from time to time. The steering went out today after four hours of tough brush-hogging. Had to do a bunch of...

I have a Montana 5740C with Mitsubishi engine that intermittently will not crank. When it gets into the event it seems that cycling the key completely off and back to crank will make it work after 8-12 key cycles. Cleaned both battery connections pos and neg, cleaned neg ground by battery...

Hello all. I just bought a 5740c this winter with 1600hrs on it. It's needed some tlc and replaced a lot of stuff on in without any real issues, however ever since I bought it it seems to have a ghost electrical issue I can't nail down. When I turn the key to start sometimes all the electric...

I have seen previous threads regarding a replacement glass for the Montana 5740C cab. I found mine broken (have no idea--just woke up to it) and ordered a replacement from Montana parts. New door does not fit as it appears there are right and left hand versions. I ordered left but somehow got...

Hello to all. I have a Montana 5740c that will not stay in reverse. I am thinking it is a problem in the synchronizers. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Also I need to find a shop manual for it.

Just bought a 2005 Montana 5740C with 600 hours. I have noticed some other threads on here with people talking about Montana tractor manuals. Would anyone have a digital version of the 5740 manual they could email me? Thanks in advance for your help. JPG

Hi everyone, I got a 5740c a couple weeks ago but the person I got the tractor from didn't have a manual for it. I'm used to working on larger equipment like backhoes and cats. Can anyone tell me where the service points are (oil and hydraulics)? I'm pretty sure I found the oil re-fill inlet...

Hi All, I used this site to make up my mind on which Montana to buy. I got a 5740C, picked it up on Monday and now have 5 hrs on it. All I can say is, so far I am impressed. This is some kind of a machine. I am able to do most everything at 1500 rpm or less. This is the first tractor I have...

Two Montana 5740C\'s and a Storage Shed That neighbor of mine that borrowed my 5740C and then bought one identical to mine for himself, called me the other night and asked if I'd come over and bring my 5740C to help him unload a storage shed he was moving out to his place. I did, and Bird has...

On June 23rd, my wife was using a 6ft cutter to clip the pasture. After about an hour, she noticed that the lift arms would not raise the cutter. She brought it in to me and I could not find the problem. I took it in to the dealer the next day. It turns out that a bolt broke inside the...

Here are some pictures of my new Montana 5740C tractor. It is great to have a cab on a day like today. It is 90+ and the dust is flying yet inside I am knocking down some cold ice tea and the radio is cracking out the hits without working up a sweat! Montana 5740C Pictures

I am having a problem locating the Main Transmission Oil Gauge and the Oil injection Inlet. The picture in the manual is no help so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased a new Montana 5740C on 4-23-05. I currently have 46 hrs on her. Beginning around 38 hrs, it developed a strange sound at startup. Kind of like the the clutch was not fully depressd and the starter was kicking on and off rapidly. One morning I tried to start it and it would only...

I just purchased a 5740C with FEL. I love the ease of operation and the comfort. The seat needs to be softer and have armrests, but I have already found a replacement. I'm sure I will have many questions. I am not new to farming but this is my first new tractor. I have two problems that I...

I waited at the dealer's on Friday, March 4th, for my Montana 5740C to arrive from the factory. I watched as it was unloaded off the 18 wheeler, kind of like being in the delivery room! You see, I had ordered it without ever seeing one physically, and having only seen pictures and read specs on...
