L4240 upgrades

[MtnViewRanch]

Sounds logical. I was curious because the non adjustable link has three pin holes while the adjustable one only has two.

There are some out there that have the 3 pin locations on the stationary link and only have 1 pin location on the adjustable link.

I almost always try to match the stationary link clevis for the side links that I build.

I made the 12 volt power port so it is on all the time, before it would only work with the key on. Now I can hook a battery maintainer through it.

I removed the 20 amp fuse from the fuse box that said "cigar lighter." I got a fuse holder and put the 20 amp fuse in it. I used a scotch lock connector and tapped into the yellow wire(in the back of the fuse box) that went into the cigar lighter hole in the fuse box and the one side of the fuse holder. I used another scotch lock connector to tap into the big red main wire going into the back fuse box and the other side of the fuse holder.

Here is a pic of the back of the fuse box.

I forgot, I rearranged the hoses on the TNT.

I added a LED light strip. On with the headlights and flashes the 4 ways.

I added a battery mat.

I got the step linexed. It feels some much more grippy now. It is a inexpensive upgrade and well worth the money.

I like the linex, but am looking at having my son fabricate a better step with a wider platform, would love to have a platform like on our M8540.

Thanks. Will the step of a 8540 fit on a grand l?

No, totally different design, you might be able to see it in this photo, I don't have a picture of it from a good angle.

You would be best off building one like you said.

Yeah, I am going to get together with my son or brother and see if we can come up with something.

Nice job on the step, it doesn't take long to ware off that factory gray paint, looks good i'll bet it feels good too. What is linexed some sort of rugged powder coat? Is your rear tire valve stem on the outside?

Linex is a spray on truck bed coating.

It does feel good, it makes a uncoated step feel slippery in comparison. I was going to do it with a can of duplicolor truck bed coating but it is smoother and it took it while the truck bed was being done.

Yes the rear valve stem is on the outside, I guess it would be best to have it on the inside.

My stem is on the inside and I wish it was on the outside, I don't see the point to have it on the inside, the dealer said that is how they come on the inside??

It is probably more protected on the inside but it would be harder to check the air pressure.

This is how they come

My tires the way they were mounted on the rims the valve stem is on the inside once mounted on the tractor.

You don't really get a choice on inside or outside. It's determined by the rear wheel width you want. On the Ag tire/wheels if your stems are on the outside then you're wheels are set to the widest position. If they are on the inside then they are set to one of the narrow positions. I would suspect that the R4s are the same.

I looked the valve stem can not be turned to the inside on the 4240.
