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.

[@BundyBearsShed]

A while back I did a video on doing up the steering column and removing it, that might help.

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. I have a bad leak coming out underneath the right gear shift Boot on a 1640 during hot weather and running heavy PTO equipment so your video is very much appreciated. Cheers.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good to go I would think now Jim.

Thanks John, you too.

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.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Welcome aboard! Check the screen and it will tell you a story.

Hi Lance, I live in a town, never owned, driven, or worked on a tractor however i find them really interesting... Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers Paul,,

Thanks for watching!

[@incubatork]

Good to see you working on a bit of green for a change Lance, watching with interest as my 2035 is very similar but without hi-low. cheers, Derek

[@BundyBearsShed]

Cool, thanks

[@wadehove8584]

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?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Use small snap ring pliers or feed it in as a spiral.

[@FilmNotebook]

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.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I had one that sheared the crown wheel rivets off so you could look in the rear oil filler to see if the crownwheel is moving, we fixed it in the field with trailer wheel studs. You may have torn the centre out of the clutch plate possibly.

[@Jesus_Is_King-yhwh]

I have this exact same problem. I put it into gear and absolutely nothing happens. Back PTO works and hydraulics work.

[@bradbrown6255]

brad again you answered a lot of questions on my 2030 thanks again got a 2840 to play with now its a european version with cab was wanting to convert it to a open station tractor found some american version parts to do the conversion do you think they will interchange thanks again love your videos

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes if you can find a say 3140 open station or even a 2850 or similar the job will be a lot easier.

[@KagisoSepheko]

What did you say is the function of this knob on top of the lift cover

[@BundyBearsShed]

On the top of the lift cover it is a rate of drop screw to slow the drop with a heavy implement

[@brandonshelton8626]

What thread is it to check the transmission pump up by the shifters.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Probably 10mm but the fitting from the rear of the brake valve screws in nicely

[@brandonshelton8626]

@@BundyBearsShed thank you very much

[@juanalonso8297]

Hola ,mi preguntas las válvulas que esta ubicado por las tapas palanca de cambio es las que controla las presión de la bomba interna como le llaman de baja presión de un jhon Deere 3140DT

[@BundyBearsShed]

yes the valve behind the plastic sensor on the rh side but you can pressure test it before removing it by using the front port on the rh side of the shift cover.

[@juanalonso8297]

Gracias maestro, el problema es que no puedo probar las presión por me fisura las caja de filtros hidráulico por eso quiero des regular esta válvulas

[@juanalonso8297]

Que tu me recomienda proceder ?

[@stefanmarcu1574]

Hello from Romania. I have a john deere 1640, do you think i can remove the shift cover without removing the cab ? I saw the that from the two big pipes the oil is not going correctly in the shift cover , I did not understand what is the role from that pipes( the two biges one , on the right side).

[@BundyBearsShed]

The front pipe is the oil supply from the trans pump.

[@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

[@BundyBearsShed]

Check press with PTO engaged and see if there is a difference. You might have a high pressure leak that is not letting the front pump catch up so blank off the steering and look in the trans filler and see if there appears to be leakage in there.

[@bradbrown6255]

@@BundyBearsShed thanks when you turn on pto pressure drops down to 50 psi for about 1 second and goes back to 115

[@bradbrown6255]

have replaced front pump too which was not the problem

[@BundyBearsShed]

That's fine

[@bradbrown6255]

@@BundyBearsShed so you think i still need to block off steering with good pressure while pto is on if so how do i do that thanks again of all the people ive talked to you are the only one that knows what hes talking about ive looked in fill hole for a leak cant see one but that dont mean theres not one

[@pasturesnewfarm688]

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

[@BundyBearsShed]

Let me check

[@markhumphries5478]

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?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes it is a common thing with the older tractors especially if the oil has been dirty.

[@jolyvera2232]

Saludos hermano estoy en Venezuela quisiera que me ayudarás con mi tractor JD e mi primera vez con maquinaria

What is wrong with it?

[@WilliamGibbs-m5l]

How do you put back on

[@BundyBearsShed]

Line up the gear selectors and all of the pipes and slide it on.

Sound make a video of putting it back together

[@BundyBearsShed]

One day, it is still apart

[@Prizzo85]

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 ? Thank you Pete Rizzo

[@BundyBearsShed]

They get sticky in humid weather, Tie the pedal down and get in a high gear if possible and bang the brakes on a few times and see if it comes loose. If not it is a split but they often do come free.

[@FarmBossSaws]

I am interested in your up and coming videos for this tractor split because I may have to do the same split on my 2130. I am having a hydraulic issue on my tractor and finding many culprits to the shuddering hydraulics and pump chatter: fluid leaking past the loader control valve, power steering leak (still need to do, thanks for that video), SCV valve leaking oil into the rockshaft housing. I have checked and eliminated the other possible issues like the bypass valve(again thanks for that vid), the screen behind the housing drain plug, resealed the rockshaft valves and the loader is ported correctly to the filter housing. I just had my shift cover off and was testing the oil supply pipes with compressed air to find a leak. The large supply pipe closest to the engine was not holding pressure and I could hear air blowing lower down in the case I think this may also be a problem. Could you detail testing these pipes a bit? Thanks I really need this tractor fixed, it's the middle of hay season here in Canada and I am down on my main bailing tractor... I still have my faithful David Brown/Case 996 going though.

[@BundyBearsShed]

If SCv is leaking in to the rockshaft housing the valve is crook as on a closed center system there should be nothing with everything closed.

[@FarmBossSaws]

@@BundyBearsShed Yeah I have the valve capped at the SCV line in at the moment and I also capped the power steering line but the hydraulics were still acting up. Do you think its worth trying to rebuild my SCV valves or should I just get an aftermarket spool valve? Seems like the SCV parts are more expensive as just buying a new spool.

[@charleshart6992]

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

[@BundyBearsShed]

Buongiorno, ho un problema idraulico con il 3130 improvvisamente la leva HI-LO funziona solo con le marce lente. Marce veloci fa un fischio e non va. Filtri nuovi e olio idraulico nuovo. Cosa posso fare? grazie Hello, I have a hydraulic problem with the 3130 suddenly the HI-LO lever only works in slow gears. Fast gears it whistles and does not work. New filters and new hydraulic oil. What can I do? thanks

[@BundyBearsShed]

I think you will need to split it as there is an oil manifold inside with sealing rings and they tend to wear with time and let the oil pressure go.

[@MorenoRoversi]

@@BundyBearsShed grazie della risposta. che cosa intendi per dividerlo?

[@MorenoRoversi]

@@BundyBearsShed ho capito intendi aprirlo. ok. ma prima di farlo vorrei capire le marce lente vanno tutte regolarmente. E' normale che sia coì. Prima di aprirlo vorrei capire bene come funziona. hai qualche video da girarmi per farmi vedere. Grazie

[@BundyBearsShed]

With it only working in low I believe there is an oil pressure problem, you will need to split it behind the gear sticks a very similar job to the 2030 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/an_LYZSahJycsJI

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?

[@BundyBearsShed]

The main gearstick? It is hard to say as you are not in the back box.

How do you put that pto housing Hi-Low back on? I'm having trouble aligning that fork thing on the bottom I'm working on a 2440 kinda similar but mine only has one for the the HI- LO

Make sure the box is in neutral.
