Best tractor channel I've ever seen on KZbin, great fun and my hands get to stay clean too!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you like it.

[@Aint1S]

Yes sir, we say snug it up. Now that I hear you mention it... There's snug it up until it's flush, until it gets tight, and barely snug it up. Howdy from Texas my friend!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks, We say nipped up or nip it up.

Lance, you're lucky to have a calibrated bicep, it saves a lot of time looking for the torque wrench! An old mechanic told me that a rule of thumb for torquing is to twist it until it breaks then back it off half a turn.

[@BundyBearsShed]

The trick is to stop just before it breaks, lol.

Hi Lance - good to have you back in the workshop! Which is you favourite tractor?

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Charles, Well I do have a soft spot for Goldie but I think the 135 Multipower will become a favourite as well.

[@erneumann3136]

Good videos my friend.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Edwin

Hello there. Thanks for making the great videos. I have split an 1140 and found the loose oil line from the transmission pump. You are talking about a bush with setscrew in the backhousing to prevent the oil line from sliding back.. Is this a JD kit or a kit you have procured locally?? Greetings from Norway!

[@BundyBearsShed]

It was a geniune John Deere kit, I think I would have mentioned the part number in the video,.

[@bollboen]

@@BundyBearsShed ah sorry, NOW I found the video on the repair kit! Thanks you have absolutly made this a lot easier for me! Thanks ALot!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad it helped, thanks for the beer.

[@Deebo1812]

Great video as usual Lance, thank you! Out of interest you said the PTO brake bolts were 5/8“ UNC and the socket cap screws holding the gear on were 8mm head. How do you know which are SAE and which are metric? Seems to me it’d be easy to round something off by picking the wrong socket or spanner? Cheers.

[@BundyBearsShed]

PTO brake bolts that hold it ib are 3/8" unc but the allen head screws that holt the gear to the pto clutch are an 8mm head. As the tractors were made in Germany with french engines but hardware shipped to the factory from the USA it is a mix and match. You just know by looking after a while.

[@Deebo1812]

Interesting! Thanks.

@Gordon Cullen I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Hi, i have a jd 3140 (first gen ) and i want to change main saft's oil seal . I want to ask you if i can change them from the side of the clutch or if i have to do it from the side of the gear box.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Has to be from the gearbox side sadly.

[@TJBandmore]

Such a great series of videos! I bought a 3130 (the European/Canadian version of the 2840) only to find out that there is/are hydraulic issue(s). It is very similar to the 1640 from what I can tell. If I keep the PTO speed at or above rated, I can get a few hours of rigorous bush hogging, and then the PTO power and all hydraulics drop out. If disengage PTO for about 30 seconds, hydraulic power returns and PTO runs solid for maybe 5 minutes, and then fully drops again. It will keep returning for a while every time PTO is disengaged for a short moment. I wonder if this is related to hydraulic fluid temperature and reduced viscosity? Maybe a leak in the PTO clutch that consumes all supply at some viscosity/temperature? I put new Deere hydraulic fluid, replaced filter, cleaned screen, and same behavior. I'm currently not setup (no time/no garage) to split it in half, so I hope for a band-aid solution before I can. What are your thoughts, sir?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Im thinking a leak in the pto pack or the oil on the way to it.

[@renederaideux8142]

Do You maybe have a tip, how to remove an old rubber seal from the pto cover of a john deere 1630? The seal sticks firmly and comes only loose in little pieces. The tractor was leaking oil from the pto shaft and I wanted to replace the seal. Thanks in advance and greatings from Belgium (EUROPE)

[@BundyBearsShed]

You need to pull the pto back plate off and get under the seal from behind.

[@renederaideux8142]

@@BundyBearsShed that's what I have done. I have access to the seal but I can't remove it. I tried with a screwdriver but was able to loosen only some little pieces. It seems that it's glued on the cover. Could brake cleaner or Silicon remover help?

[@javiermontes3777]

Good 👍

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks

[@brrumle]

do you have to remove the cabin and rear to do this?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes I find it is best to.

[@parchechuletaovero9507]

What's your opinion about this type of transmission.?are they tough?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes they are, the hi lo has a ring that can fail but mostly they are good.

[@parchechuletaovero9507]

Thanks for the answer.tomorrow i m checking a2850 to purchase .How are things going down under.?

[@incubatork]

Hi Lance, as you have at the minute without the hi-lo fitted, will it be the same as mine with hydraulic pto but no hi-lo? or is there something else in its place? cheers Derek

[@BundyBearsShed]

G day Derek, The 30 series is similar but different if you know what I mean, the 40 and 50 series are exactly the same in this housing.
