JD, the plug on the bottom of the brake assembly is a very small drain plug. Not the plug with the spring and ball. I removed everything and what I have is the metal soft plugs. I have not removed them because I wanted to ask you would I still be able to bleed the brakes without the plugs. Also...

I loss the brakes on my JD 2040. I changed transmission oil and noticed I didn't have any brakes. The pistons on the brake control valve are completely retracted. I tried to bled the lines without success. I also removed the plug in the bottom of the braked control valve assembly and noticed it...

Flow controller Doc, I do not know if it has a flow controller or not. What I do know is that I referred to a manual and it said you should be able to lift from ground to max lift in a certain amount of time. (2-3 seconds I can remember). I tested my tractor and it was right on. The problem...

JD110, the serial # is 204sa392620L. The filters are ok. I believe the tractor has an independent pto as you have described. After about 30 minuted I start having 3 point hook up trouble. The steering and brakes work fine. I have not hooked any hydraulic implement to the tractor. The tractor was...

JD110, its the 3 point hook up. The response is a combination of very slow to none at all. No problems when I first start the tractor.

After the hydraulic oil on my JD2040 gets hot I start having hydraulic control problems. I was told I have a valve problem. Is this a check valve? Do I have to separate the tractor to repair . Could It be something else? Should a novice try this kind of repair? Thanks Big Tomm

Good luck Danny If I can do it you can do it. Just follow JD110 direction and you will have no problems. Just check the shaft to make sure it is not worn. The seal is very stiff like JD said. I just worked it in my fingers trying to take the stiffness out I also used a hair dryer to heat the...

After 18 years of jumping my tractor off I finally decided to address the problem. I would like to thank JD110 and Mark777 for advice and encouragement. I am not a mechanic, but what I did was to check all components (starter,switch,alternator,battery) and make sure they were in working order...

Don't know what to do now?? Today I went to my auto mechanic and he load tested my battery. It tested hot but he told me I had the wrong kind of battery for a tractor. He recommended the optima gel type. I removed the starter and took it to a starter/alternator shop. He replaced the...

Reply to Mark777 Mark, I plan on charging the battery and bringing it to my mechanic so he can put a load test. It is a High end Wal-mart battery. (Is there such a thing). My tractor use to have two batteries but all it did was draw down both batteries. I have had this problem for years. If the...

JD110, I measured the output voltage on the alternator. It measured 14.5V . I took the negative terminal loose and tried to create a spark with no success. I loosened the positive terminal and measured the amps drain with the engine and key turned off. The drain measured 10 to 15 mA. Is this...

I would like to thank JD110 on the instructions on how to change the load seals on my 1980 2040 JD. Everything went smooth and the Louisiana oil leak is stopped. On another topic, my tractor battery will not hold a charge. I have overhauled the starter and alternator. I changed the battery and...

Hello everyone, Big Tom here. A first timer. I have a 1980 JD tractor that is leaking hydraulic oil from the load shaft seal area. I have done research on parts and procedure but to tell the truth ,"I don't understand how to make these repairs. My first question is do you have to go internal to...
