New 2638 HST.

sspenst · Sep 21, 2019

Traded in My 2014 3016 Shuttle Shift w/loader for a New 2638 HST Cab on Spet 13th 2019.
So far i love it! couple minor things i need to adjust for my larger and taller profile. but over all its good!
I kept all my attachments & implements ill update my info asap.
Haven't gotten to enjoy it much, been sick the last 3 days or so...:thumbdown: but getting better slowly.

on another note, i will be happy to share my 3016 service manual. everything is on PDF Format. Covers 3016-3616 has service manual,loader manual,operators manual shuttle & HST versions.
also i can share my 2638 service manual if anyone wants it as well (PDF), i think i applies to the 2538 as well. just pm me and i can probably email them.

I just bought a 2638 myself, although I have not taken delivery yet. I would love to hear how your tractor treats you.
I also sent you a PM.

Ok, so now that i have had a bit of time. i have done Three things in the cab to accomadate my 6'2 and size 13 feet...... drilled new holes in seat mounting bracket's 1.25" further back. that's that max you can go!
i also shortened up my brake pedals as my foot was catching on them when i wanted to brake. about 1.5" max. kept factory brake lock lever on. and i re positioned the forward pedal to the left as much as i could. pushing reverse the forward pedal would rub my ankle a bit. all in all that's minor to me. i don't mind modifying or tinkering to make more comfy. so far i have 13 hours on it. mainly just puttering and little bit of mowing. so here is my pictures of all my stuff... cleaned up a bit at work before the white stuff permanently stays around...

Looks great! What size forks you running? 42? 48?

Also, can you post a shot or two of the brake mod you did?

I have about 20 hours now and I am really enjoying it more and more. Ordering a snowblower today for it (rear 3pt) but want to get some forks as well.

Thanks!

those are 42". I kept all the attachments i had for my 3016. They are BE brand i believe.
and i took two pics this morning.

i didn't measure or take pics before, sorry.
but u simply cut and weld lol. the brake arms have to come off.
need to remove bottom dash panel, snap ring, then u need to loosen and remove the safety start push button thing, then remove left brake arm. then u need to tap out the roll pin on the right brake arm and then slide it off the shaft. couple springs in there too. needle nose pliers work best, they come off easy.
then u need to cut the flat part off the arms where the rubber pads slip on, trim off the arm a bit. clean all the paint off, weld back on in desired position, paint it black again. re attach everything. simple right? LOL
took me about an hour
