How to Remove your John Deere 2030 hydraulic lift cylinder from the lift cover

After removing the lift cover on our John Deere 2030 you will need to remove the lift cylinder from the cover to service the cylinder. This video shows the steps involved in doing this.
Hello Im Lance (aka Bundy Bear) and doing these videos is my hobby. I do own Queensland Tractor Spares in Australia where I sell parts and offer technical advise to customers.
Parts seen in our videos can be purchased from www.queenslandt...
We have a lot more than we can offer on our web site available to us and in our store. If you dont see what you would like please email [e-mail] and we will help where we can.
I do try and help with technical advise at [e-mail] if you have a question or are having trouble with your project.

Curious to know what supplies thag cyl with its pressure? Is it from a external hose going into the side? I'm working on a 1973 920. And I don't think I'm getting any pressure to anything besides my steer cylinder

[@BundyBearsShed]

The pressure comes up through the gearbox housing on the front rh side of the lift cover.

Wspaniałe opracowanie. Wyraziste i kompleksowe. Greetings from Poland

Greetings.

Lance, my 2130 the upper lift control arm seals are leaking. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@BundyBearsShed]

The arms cone off and there is an o ring to replace

[@morganlennox8756]

much thanks. broke my hydraulic lift lefter while removing a cab. this showed me exactly how to replace it!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad it helped.

Good morning I have one problem with my John deere 2250. I replaced the high pressure hydraulic pump (front) and the handbrake and now the lift won't go down. Power steering works and hydraulic outputs, jack goes up but not down. I tried adjusting the throttle on the backpack in the cabin but nothing helps. What could be the reason? do you know how to deal with it? And what is the method to bleed the foot brakes in such a system?

[@BundyBearsShed]

When you put the top cover back on did you line up the cam track and its follower so it rubs on the roller? With the brakes run the tractor for a while hook both pedals together then bleed one side at a time.

[@wojciechskowronek5739]

@@BundyBearsShed I fixed the elevator, the reason was the wrong position of the lever in the cabin. Only now I have a problem with power hydraulics. The front pump is new and it happens as the tractor works for 30 minutes, the power steering stops working and there is no oil in the expansion tank. And I still can't bleed the brakes because the oil is not reaching the pump. And on the pressure gauge it shows 250 bar and that's too much. If possible, I could share a video with a detailed description.

Great channel Lance, refreshing my memory on these ol girls, I can remember getting these in the shop with the casting broken out due to wear in the canceling out mechanism, the rockshaft punching out the back

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes the early tractors seemed to do it

[@grantwtk]

Hi Lance I wanted to tell you that a few months back I asked you about slow-to-recover hydraulic pressure and slow loader on a 2130 and per your video advice what I did was take out the filter bypass valve and just clean it nicely because it seemed slimely and also work it back and forth 50 times and the result was that the loader seems to work really good with normal speed. Its coming to winter here in Canada and those freezing temperatures turn tranmission oil into molasses and hydraulic probelms are magnified. Its normal during minus 20 weather to let the tractor warm up 15 mintues and some people use a magnetic heater on their transmission housing. So thanks for the videos and advice.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Grant, Im not sure I would like the Canadian weather, im complaining if I need long pants, lol.

[@abdolanjf4373]

Hello. The speed of raising the rear jack is slow, but when the steering wheel is turned quickly, the speed of the rear jack increases. What is the reason? I did not change the rock shaft needles either

[@BundyBearsShed]

Look at the steering pressure priority valve for sticking.

[@abdolanjf4373]

@@BundyBearsShed When the iron cow wants to go up, it first pauses and goes up very slowly. If you give a shock to the trailer valve or command, it goes up quickly. The rock shaft needle has been changed, the O-ring has been changed. but it did not happen

[@mattg7151]

G'day Lance, we have pull our transmission pump out for repair, wondeing how hard it is to pull the gear shift rods out, two of ours have previously been damaged. Thanks mate Blessings

[@BundyBearsShed]

Pull the lift cover off and it is an easy job from there now it is split.

[@mattg7151]

Thanks Lance

[@mattg7151]

I'm a little concerned about those balls and springs with pulling it apart.

[@powerbreed]

Thanks for this video, it has helped immensely

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad to hear it!

[@dukeman7595]

First time I seen one apart. Thank you.

[@Fatamus]

I second that.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you liked it!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

[@abdolanjf4373]

It is not a problem to use W 80 oil

[@BundyBearsShed]

Probably not.

[@Kaegis]

Thanks for the video. I have an old 1979 Kubota M7500DT that I can see an internal leak that looks to be coming out near the fall rate valve (3PL doesn't lift at all). When I move the lift lever, the leak gets faster (full flow). So while this is not a Kubota, it still gives me some idea. By the way, the best thing I ever did was buy a cordless impact gun with 5 point impact sockets. Absolutely magic!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad it helped.

[@alejandroquezada3558]

Hello. I have a question do I have to remove the cover to replace the lift lever rod? It broke where the little c Clío meets the cover

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes you do as there is a roll pin inside.

[@slashackerman4117]

Tengo un John deere 2240 y al direccion esta súper dura y los 3 puntos de elevación, no se elevan, será problema de la bomba hidráulica, de antemano muchas gracias

[@BundyBearsShed]

I cant seem to translate this message.

[@Brad-lt6mr]

Hi Lance, my 40 series won't lift the arms. I had to leave the mole plough in the ground! All other hydraulics working fine, and high pressure to the SCV. Linkage to the rock shaft housing also good. Any ideas? Cheers

[@BundyBearsShed]

If SVCs and steering etc works fine I would pop the hydraulic cover off for a look. You may have a leaky surge relief valve or a split cylinder or something like that. Can you see the oil spraying everywhere when you look in the rear oil filler cap?

[@Brad-lt6mr]

@@BundyBearsShed I had another look, and fiddled with the adjusting selector lever, moving it from max to min, then to the centre position, while the control lever was in the low position. Tried it again and now it's working!

[@bernauzan5779]

Merhaba bende de 2130 johondeere var hidrolik kaldırma kolları kalkarken titreme yapıyor bazen de kaldirmiyor şanjıman pompası değişti ama hala beğenmedim sizce ne olabilir. ?

[@BundyBearsShed]

That can often be a sign of the lift cylinder valves leaking so that may be worth a look.

Hello, is the special hydraulic oil Jandir 2130 or 2040?

[@BundyBearsShed]

No any modern tractor transmission/ hydraulic oil is fine. The old spec was J20C

[@michaelb.5500]

I use a John Deere 830 with similar technology. The problem is that the hydraulics sporadically drop or drop, then rise again, etc. . As I said, the problem occurs sporadically, regardless of whether the oil is warm or cold. Do you have any idea what this could be?

[@BundyBearsShed]

I would try and run through all of the adjustments, something must be sticking.

[@michaelb.5500]

@@BundyBearsShed Thank you. So as it is sporadically, you assume it is not a defect with the cylinder?

[@BundyBearsShed]

That is what Im thinking.

[@Fatamus]

Metric and SAE must be related to Ford.

lol probably

Great job thank you

Thanks for watching!

Zimmer not spanner. Wrenches, they’re open and wrenches if you wanna know where the spanner wrenches, look it up, you will see with the spanner wrenches, but you are using open end. Wrenches

[@BundyBearsShed]

In Australia we have ring spanners and open end spanners we dont have wrenches at all except for the plumbers tool called the pipe wrench. Your adjustable Cresent wrench is a shifting spanner over here or commonly known as a "Shifter".
