As part of the repairs to my John Deere 2030 I ma going to split the tractor to look at the POT brale and see why it is jumping out of reverse gear. This is the first part of that job.

This was awesome Lance and thanks so much for posting. I was amazed that the cover basically comes straight up and off (albeit carefully) once the PTO lever/control housing is removed as well.

Working on a 1973 John Deere 2030 myself. I’ve got to tackle a major hydraulic leak at the base of the steering wheel. It’s going to be a pain, but doable. Looking forward to watching the rest of the repairs to your 2030. They’re great tractors. Thanks for doing the videos.

I have a feeling i will be binge watching your videos. You know your stuff and are a good teacher. I've got a 2020 with no brakes and the hydraulics chatter and sometimes stop when using the loader. It's new to me and doesn't appear to have been maintenanced regularly. I'm hoping it's just clogged filters from brake parts.

Would love to get some tractor advice from you. I have a 2030 that has stopped moving, after sitting out under open sky for a week. Hydraulics work well. Back PTO engages. but it just won't move once put in gear. not grinding, at least i feel no griding sounds or vibrations. Clutch pedal goes in well. I mean I'm able to engage the back PTO no problem. Wheels are not locked, cuz we tried towing it and it rolls free.

A great video! I had to remove the shifting levers. How do you get the shifting lever snap ring back in without damaging the aluminum cover?

[@charleshart6992]

Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing progress on this one.

Hi, I have just taken off my cover as I have a leak. My welch plug is not there! So explains the leak but can't for the life of me find a part number for one. Do you know the part number or can I improvise with something? Many thanks

I separated my 2040, open center hydraulic series, between the clutch and transmission and your videos are very helpful. I have the manual and to find the information about the 2 hidden bolts under the shifter plate takes careful reading. I’m replacing the transmission pump. The pump gears were destroyed. Have you came across in your repairs?

[@WilliamGibbs-m5l]

How do you put back on

[@bradbrown6255]

have a 2030 jd is not equipt high low have 115 psi at shifter top front pump is starving for fluid have checked by pass in shifter top and both check valves on side of transmission can fill resivor tank by oil cooler and front loader works perfect till tank runs dry filters are good too? any sugestions would be very helpful thanks in advance

Hi lance, my John deere 2030 has been sitting only a couple of months now it's clutch is literally locked on for some reason. I'm going to try drive it around and hit the brakes hoping it will free up again. Maybe clutch adjustment might need attention ?

[@mantase.6234]

hi, thank you for very good videos it helps a lot to repear my john deere 2140. But I have one question so mayby you know what happen. After trakctor spliting and changing transmition pump I put back everything in place, but after a test drive my gears starts swich out off possition and traktor stops. With gear box I don't do anything. What can be wrong?
