cold start 2240 john deere diesel tractor

awesome cold start of our small john deere diesel after sitting dormant for 3 months its about 13 degrees out at the time

[@JasonShipley1979]

John Deere's aren't terrible tractors. In fact they're great tractors and the best out there

[@billstmaxx]

it starts like that from being cranked so much. the compression heats up the diesel and eventually it fires nice video thanks for sharing

[@yazka78]

The best start I ever seen. John Deere is my favourite

[@woodman1241]

those old deeres are the best. they are made to run full bore all day. we consistently do that with our 2940s. not so much with the 2755, cuz its a fuel hog, but i am a deere fan thru and thru

[@bbob765]

The 2150's started like that too. We kept our's on the generator in case of a big storm, that way we could run the block heater's on the other tractors to feed hay and plow snow!

[@shawn911100]

I love that little tractor. it starts like a pro

[@farmboy30117]

I had a feeling 1 of 3 things were gonna happen: 1. battery would die 2. starter would burn up 3. it would crank. That's one good battery and starter motor!!

[@bebajoro77]

That's a little beauty! She clearly knows you love her.

[@deathmetaldude468]

dam you'll burn the starter motor out doing it for that long

[@texxan6912]

john deere is the ford of tractors

[@450supermansam]

36 seconds it took to fire off, your going to fry your starter if you keep doing that. best starting tractor I have ever seen is a mf 165 with the 203 perkins.

[@davidbrown950fan]

u should use the cold start tap underneath the injection pump that always fires them up real quick.

[@plonkster]

My father had a David Brown that also started on the coldest of mornings, no glow plugs. We'd regularly use the DB to pull start the cold blooded Massey Ferguson.

[@Wrenches-halligans]

good lil' tractor you got there sir!

[@crisp2882]

that is awesome.My fordson dexta is the same but it has one big glo plug so it is very easy to start.

[@JohnDeere391]

I love the video!

[@jankotze1959]

Nice, it sounds like a Ford 3000 when cranking

[@aidanpowell2753]

I agree! sounds almost exactly like mine

[@Roargutt1]

I have a John Deere 2030, pritty old but it starts every time and it's in perfect condition. It has never been rebuilt but it works fin. It only needs a littlebit power on the battery.

[@thebigagrinico0211]

nice jhon deere

[@1066POWER]

Not bad, our 2440 has 9000 hrs on it and about 4000 on a engine, works pretty good for a loader tractor, easy on fuel, starts good down to about 25 F

[@kcald1843]

I didn't think the battery would hold out.

[@angelasciaroni3018]

That is pretty darn good.

[@cebedeuz]

Im impressed. Not of tractor, but battery. You should let it idle longer time, that it charges battery longer...

[@p4rtn3r]

That's amazing.

[@IHDieselpulling1999]

We got a two john deere both 4x4 with loaders, 2150 and a 2240 both with about 40000 plus hours. They have there problem but they work good

[@norfolkdash9]

Haha I wouldn't know. I have never ran an international. But I would absolutely love to own one!

[@JohnDeere391]

That is a nice tractor

[@wagner59270]

hell yeah... Ive never run a 720 but we did used to have a 2 cylinder JD 70 diesel with the gas starting motor that fired up really nice... too bad I didnt have a video camera then

[@powerstrokejim]

We had a JD1120 3 cyl loader started the same way. Amazing engine however I was cringing when you let that poor engine rev when it was that cold. You idled her down after a minute but that hurt at first. awesome vid , just my 2 cents

[@nardp96]

ya but whats even more amazing for a diesle is that when the fuil gets super cold it gets oily and gummy and hard to ignight

[@wagner59270]

@GearHead1625 yeah its just sheetmetal, the old plastic peice got banged up and was way too expensive to bother buying a new one

[@johneastmond9092]

nothin' runs like a deere, and nothin' starts like one either! I had a 4020 that we had to but a kill switch in. the damn thing would start and run in the first revolution! We put the kill switch in it to let the thing crank a bit to get the oil at least partially circulated. And yet others wouldn't start for love or money.

[@GearHead1625]

The front end of that tractor kind of looks like it is home made. It really doesn't look like the front end that was originally came with. I don't know why I think that looks home made just kinda does.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

HA HA, sometimes all they need is a little talkin to and they do anything ya need em to.

[@Texaskeykeeper]

Thats a lot different than the bigger 40 series. the 2840 for example has 6 cylenders.

[@wagner59270]

@billstmaxx yes sir, gotta have good batteries and a good starter to get er done though

[@cituszip]

"It's on its third rebuild" should tell ya something. Use it and Abuse it fix it when it breaks down. Its been sitting for 3 months or more, must not get used alot......it aint no mercedes.

[@Angola6]

Diesel batteries start around 1000 CCA or more. Listen to her prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr like a big green kitty

[@wagner59270]

yeah they are... I gotta get the bucket on the 2240 cause the 4230 burns about 2-3 gal and hour and the 2240 maybe burns 1

[@mchl8]

thats a different type of engine than the others. thats the differance.

[@Jinete28]

you sure its a 3 cylinder? I think its a 4, maybe I am wrong.

[@1066POWER]

Thats weird a 2550 should start down in the 20s at least, But I know they dont start as good as International!

[@dalekrueger]

this one is a rowcrop wide front with a old DU-AL loader, we had a standard720 diesel too but sold it,BIG MISTAKE!!, im going to find another someday

[@wagner59270]

yes indeedy be sure to subscribe so you can catch all the projects and fun coming up this summer

[@dalekrueger]

we have an 720 diesel that used to start better but father time is catching up with it

[@98eck]

I think the heat from the starter cranking for 35 secs helped heat the engine up. lol.

[@SuperJohndeere4020]

That tractor is not cold blooded, it starts fairly well!

[@DRNEGOLICIS]

6.9? what? ford i assume the chevy glow plug controlers can be a pain in the ass sometimes i think the best method is mauel glow plugs on any thing plus i would think its more reliable

[@norfolkdash9]

Yeah, that's what I hear, even though I do not own one.

[@KHPaint]

@deathmetaldude468 If he would have stopped cranking it the engine cylinders would have lost any heat and it would have run out of battery before starting. You see alot of people stop cranking after 30 seconds or so and then try it again after waiting only 5-10 seconds. That isn`t enough time for it to cool anyhow. Tractor starters are tough. But I hear ya, if it was mine I would have plugged it in for a couple hours before trying it.

[@JBomB90]

I have a cub cadet 1450 with a single hydro valve i can just lift up and down but i can get a dual. how hard is it to custom make a blade like the one on your 1650

[@bamaslamma1003]

What kind of battery is in there? It's a good one.

[@dalekrueger]

hell will freeze over before i ever sell another 2 cylinder

[@ac10onman]

what is so amazing about this? this is the slowest cold start of any tractor i have ever seen...my own 22 year old john deere starts in 2 seconds in -15 degrees, 3 cylinder diesel engine, no glowplugs, no engine heater. Even my father`s 1962 Massey Ferguson 35 starts faster in -degree weather, crank the engine 3-4 seconds and it`s running. what year model is this john deere?

[@wagner59270]

right on lol... be sure to subscribe there will be plenty more where that came from

[@Awemage01]

I think I found the inspiration for Wayne from Letterkenny.

[@SANTACRUZDRIVER8]

on ur 4230 if u crank and squirt ether at the same time u wont need as muck ether

[@HennerJung]

So many RPMs at a cold start ? Poor motor !

[@derickadams523]

got question we working on our 2240 get fuel to injector pump no further I've loosens lines pulled up down road it ran good five months ago now it giving trouble any ideas for helping me primary pump works

[@dalekrueger]

@amusichound you mean you have a 2010 that actually runs?

[@wagner59270]

yeah theres actually a story behind selling that 70 but it can wait for another time

[@bscross32]

damn ur fuel got to be turned into jelly like that no ether ... that's cool

[@CrazyCanuck91]

hey wagner, got any experience with IH 684's? I used to run one for the neighbor bailing hay and it was a little beast.

[@DRNEGOLICIS]

shot system?

[@wagner59270]

during the winter yup

[@josephramos5080]

john deere is awsome

[@Haderg33]

It starts better when you flutter the throttle and ya I know it's diesel but we have a 2130 and it will always start better when you flutter the throttle.

[@wagner59270]

ha ha yeah and the tractor theyre attached to aint bad either lol

[@danthomas7180]

Gunna fry the wiring lol

[@wagner59270]

nope that was the 4230 does kinda sound the same doesnt it

[@cullen9017]

sweet

[@wagner59270]

yeah our injection pump is starting to get a little weak its been getting worse and worse right along

[@MrFrederixey]

nothin' runs like a deer!!!!

[@wagner59270]

its about 3000 hours in

[@383chevystroker]

your gonna burn that starter out doing that

[@norfolkdash9]

Ha, we got a JD 2550, and it can't start worth shit in the cold.

[@wagner59270]

not too hard all you really have to do is tap into the hydraulic system with a two way valve and then build a bracket and install a cylinder on the blade

[@GearHead1625]

@wagner59270 It is amazing how much little pieces of molded plastic can cost. It is always way more than it should be to make. Guess manufacturers like to rip people off.

[@themoneyman3568]

Sounds like it still got summer fuel in it

[@5410driver]

That was about a sucky start Our Ford 2600 fires faster than that at colder temps. Course what shot you in the foot on that start and reason i say it was a sucky start. was the battery was dieing down

[@wagner59270]

twin John deere strongbox 800 CCA

[@jamezzzzzz1986]

your lucky there battery was almost dead

[@wagner59270]

nope no trouble with that here

[@aco52672]

They don't make em like they used to!!!

[@JeepCrazyMe]

Ya should never crank a John Deere that long without sprayin ether right into the breather - don't need an ether injector to do it. A farm is not a farm, unless it has a John Deere!

[@wagner59270]

sure thing

[@FunOnTheFarm7]

if thats a good start i dont even want to know what a bad start is like

[@DRNEGOLICIS]

that is pretty impresive but ive seen chevy 6.2L start faster just as cold

[@murraytractors345]

I have a ford 3930 and a mf 165 they both start in any weather easy r

[@wagner59270]

international actually makes a pretty good tractor

[@richardbarbee9334]

All the size john Deere over a 1520 have an auto ether injector in it

[@MarcoAtlarge]

Zetor 7211 8'F, would be running before that

[@farmerkemp7742]

It"s Called Direct Injection IH453 Does the same and more

[@guitarplayer2121313]

You just like Davidsfarm

[@jethybaby]

@texxan6912 and what about ford tractors?

[@texxan6912]

Um idk there the king of the hill idk bit nothing beats Deere and/or ford period u duramaxers

[@wagner59270]

ha ha ha yeah that was probably it lol

[@wagner59270]

55 horse

[@johndoe1909]

Volvo. Just saying. It gets pretty cold in sweden you know.

[@thatdodgeguy6019]

That poor battery
