Starting issues with john deere 2040

[kshunter]

What page #/ section from the owners manual, because I have it. And yes I knew that, but thanks

It's the tech manual, the service manual that the mechanics use at the JD dealership. Not the owners manual.

 

[kshunter]

Im sorry I said that wrong, I meant the tech manual

No problem, it's in section 40, pages 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, and 10-7. Do you have a test meter? You may need to test each wire and possibly run new ones. Have you tried to pull start it to make sure the motor is free?

 

[kshunter]

Not yet, me & my dad are gona use his dually here when he gets a chance. Last time we went we were going to, but the chains I thought were in the barn werent there.

I think from what kshunter stated his 2040 is above SN 349999 because he stated his tractor had an electrical speed/hr meter therefore the wiring will be different than what's in the TM you're referring to. Correct TM for later model 2040 is TM1221

 

[kshunter]

Yes, a rpm gauge, fuel gauge, oil temp or psi, and a few other things I think.

Ah that would explain the extra wires. My TM4300 is from 1977, it has both hydraulic systems but only one electrical section.
