John Deere 1640 Fitting the Flywheel and Clutch and a Quick Clutch Test

In this video I run through fitting the John Deere 1640 flywheel and clutch. I also show a quick hack to check the clutch before moving on to the next job.

G’ mate well you lost me at the 1st video I thought that was complicated good set of videos very interesting Lance thanks mate I really enjoyed that it’s not something you would see very often.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks John, No I have not seen much on these so hopefully it helps people out a bit.

Hi Lance, i watched one video where the guy 3d printed a clutch alighnment tool and it seamed to work ok, probably not 100% perfect but got him very close.

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Derek, Yes no reason why that would not work, a few clutch suppliers are offering plastic ones for sale now a days but there is no real need on these as you have clear access to the plate.

G Day Lance the John Deere is really coming on now. Did you find the problem in the gearbox as to why it was stripped in the first place?

[@BundyBearsShed]

G day John, Yes I found the PTO clutch had dropped the facings off the plates and that probably clogged the filters and caused the hydraulics not to work. Everything seems to be working well now though.

good, could you tell me how many pumps a jon deere 1640 uses in the rear

[@BundyBearsShed]

1 transmission pump that supplies oil as charge pressure to the front pump on the engine.

[@JPBS-16]

@@BundyBearsShed Does that tractor have an internal pump that supplies oil to the pump that goes in front of the engine?

Greetings! I have a jd 3130 2wd. removed engine for complete overhaul. now reassembled everything but I have a problem. because if, with the hi-lo lever in the turtle position, and the clutch engaged, the gears scratch (and do not engage). while with the ho-lo lever in the hare position, and the clutch engaged, do the gears engage without problems? Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@BundyBearsShed]

It sounds like you have a hi/lo clutch problem, the plates may be buckled and not letting it turn freely.

[@nicolafarimbella]

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for the reply . could it be that with a little use / break-in they normalize?

[@jerrycybulsky6756]

Does the dick side on the pressure plate face the flywheel on the 2130 tractor the same as the 1640 tractor?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes

[@pauldeblok72]

Don’t you change the flywheel bolts for new ones ?

[@BundyBearsShed]

No I never have on a tractor unless they are damaged, they only turn at around 2300rpm.

[@breikowski]

You don’t use locktite on your bolts? Never have one come loose?

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Bob, No never felt the need, and have not had one come loose to date, conrod bolts etc dont have it.

[@msabia1]

Is that stand something you made , or is it available for purchase commercially?

[@BundyBearsShed]

I made it, I will go over it in next Kangaroo Stew.
