John Deere 2030 Splitting the Tractor on the Second Split

[@allbeit582]

It's good to watch someone who knows what they're doing. Excellent commentary too.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

[@orpms]

Great videos Lance, made me smile. I've split many 30,40,50 and 55's over the years.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good to hear.

[@bradleywatt9769]

Split several tractors with my father when I was a teenager (we owned a service station). I want to restore my trusty 2030 and rebuild the motor. I can't find a grown man or shop anywhere willing to do it. It seems like mechanics near me only want to work on tractors with lots of fiberglass, computers, gps & air conditioning. If I get time, I will do it myself. I remember being impressed with a fender mounted AM radio. I guess that was a gateway drug to more high tech! Sorry I am 4yrs late to your party. Hello from Indiana, USA.

[@BundyBearsShed]

On the 2030 it lends itself to an in frame rebuild if the crank is ok.

[@daveyoude2828]

Great vid Lance... I,m a Massy man buts its fascinating to see other models in detail ...... thx.. 🚜

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoyed it, These old tractors were my bread and butter for many years, the Fergies were just part of my hobby originally.

[@alanbloodworth2653]

Thanks for this! My 2030 is about ready for refurbishment.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad I could help! They are a great old tractor, one of my favorites.

[@mtrcycldude]

I have watched several of your videos and you do a great job. I just split my JD 2020 (1969) to replace the clutch and pressure plate. Also the flywheel ring gear was in really bad shape. I am in North Texas USA. Stop by if your are in the neighborhood.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks 👍 I might just do that one day.

You make it look too easy. I like your roller stands makes for easy splits.Thanks!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you like them! It is a very easy job with a little bit of thought on the gear you use.

[@tomscott4723]

@@BundyBearsShed I completely agree, I enjoy making tools, I spend more time making the tools sometimes than the repair takes, I can't help it! Its just fun.......

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent work, you make it look easy!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks charles It is easy thats why, lol.

[@incubatork]

Shame your tractor has no cab like mine but the way it is it might come apart without taking it of as at the front its fastened to the floor. looking forward to the rest of the videos, as an ending video, when we get there can you show us more detail of the splitting rig or if you have already done it in which video is it, cheers, Derek

[@BundyBearsShed]

The stand may have been in the 1640 repairs as I made it for that job. Ill try and show it in this weeks stew if I remember.

[@Deebo1812]

Love it, Lance! If you’re gonna do the brake master cylinder, any chance you’ll show your process for remaking brake pipes too? Everyone seems to have diff ideas on flares etc, would love to know the thoughts of a master like you.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I was thinking of going through the brakes as I havent done a video on that yet and they are interesting I think. Different to everything else.

[@Deebo1812]

Bundy Bears Shed Look forward to it! Thanks.

[@Spud_Wrench]

Lance great vid love seeing these older Deere's still around and kicking, I have a 1978 john deere 2440 that i just went through from bonnett to boot, has many similarities as your 2030. Can't wait for you to go through the hi lo and pto maybe trans pump and hear your take on them. Whatever you can do, Thanks mate! Cheers

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks, I will do the above so sit tight.

[@qui-gonwindu]

So this is basically the same as the 2440? I’m splitting one right now and can’t find a video on that specific model

[@renecazajous3789]

[@bcbloc02]

If you have a Deere 2xxx utility tractor expect to get to do this sometime.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yep for sure.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day mate always a fascinating how you can split the tractor and on your own to. How far are you going to take this one because it's in pretty good nick especially when you look at the bonnet it only has surface rust on it, I don't know about the other side but I assume it's the same, it would be very nice painted. Anyway Lance good to see you look forward to the next instalment John

[@BundyBearsShed]

Not sure yet, no paint but It will be in good nick when Im finished, as usual I will do stuff it doesnt need just for the video of it.

[@irwinmccook7942]

Another interesting video Lance!! Top job!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks for watching

[@bucksgarage1]

Sir. I am splitting a 2020. I have everything I can see including the two bolts under the shifter out and it will not separate. Anything you can think of that I may have missed or why it wouldn't be coming apart? This has a mid mount Pto so is there anything with that that may be holding me up?

[@BundyBearsShed]

did you get the ones where the filter is?

[@bucksgarage1]

@BundyBearsShed sure did. I checked around it about 20 times before I took a sledge hammer to the case. It just needed a little help breaking the seal from the gasket apparently. I was so frustrated I couldn't figure it out at first.

[@bucksgarage1]

@@BundyBearsShed also thanks for your videos on the 2030. It has greatly helped me with my project.

[@tommytwothumbs9974]

This video has been incredibly helpful. The filter bypass on mine does not have the electrical connection. Could you please tell me if the bypass valves openings should be aligned vertical or horizontal? My wear marks look like the alignment is off.

[@tommytwothumbs9974]

Also, the inside the valve where the spring sits is very pitted, it isn’t smooth.

[@BundyBearsShed]

On the 30 series it didnt matter, the wire was for a dash warning light.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Many are missing and it doesn't matter much.

[@tommytwothumbs9974]

Do you know if the valve openings should be vertical or horizontal when installed? I can’t find any solid information about that. Mine has staining from what looks like an O ring, but it doesn’t align with the ports on the valve.

[@gasperajdnik5627]

Great video 👍, i'm a diesel mechanic

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks! 👍

[@jbarr3551]

Why did you have to remove the shift levers? Great job!

[@BundyBearsShed]

There is 2 hidden bolts in there holding the tractor together.

[@jbarr3551]

@@BundyBearsShed My 1120 loader chatter going up, any ideas? i was thinking it may be the supply pump or steel lines inside? screen is clean and filter has been changed.

[@kickford]

Great video, I have a 1974 JD 830 utility tractor. I need to split it, due to the pto clutch doesn't disengage when pressed. I've heard this is not really a bad job. Your other video on pto clutch plates is very informative also. Could the hydraulic filter you removed effect a front end loaders down force. Sometimes i have great down force, sometimes i don't. Thanks a bunch for sharing what you do.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Probably not the filter so much. They do run out of oil when being worked at times that will effect that.

[@ms767210]

I'm not sure what age this 2030 is but JD must have changed their numbering system at some point because that is way bigger than a series 2 tractor today. Excuse my ignorance. One thing I would like to say though is, it is not OK they don't put a drain plug in the filter what a bitch you have to make a mess to remove it. Seriously. Love your vids. You have such a calm nature it makes it a pleasant learning experience.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Glad you enjoy the repairs, these were known as 30 series back in the day. They used the last two numbers for the series, not like now.

[@menindeefarmer5724]

Hi Lance, I konw this is an old video but I'm using it as a guide to split a 1750. The spring that's under the pto cover what does it do? My 1750 has a slot but there is no spring, is it missing or do I not need it. I don't have hi lo ( snall/rabbit)

[@BundyBearsShed]

All it does is keep a spring feel to the gearstick. They will work fine without them just the gearstick will slop around a bit.

[@luluemmons9757]

thanks for the great video. this is my same tractor. mine has been leaking around the split seam and I just found that a couple bolts were loose. one of them just spins- the right side top under the shifter cowling. could I put a longer bolt in there or will I need to do something more drastic? I probably should do a new gasket but that means splitting the tractor and I don't have a concrete floor- which looks pretty necessary. thanks again! love seeing my same ol' gal online! Lulu

[@BundyBearsShed]

Try the longer bolt with loctite but you will probably need a helicoil at some stage.

[@tigerlily7432]

Awesome

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

[@markolivier8358]

Does the tractor have to be split to change the PTO clutch?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes it does same split as this one.

[@parkland4530]

I seem to have a leak around the plates that support the fuel pedal pivot point. What is under there? Is it hard to replace the gaskets or could it be something else? Thanks find your videos very helpful..

[@BundyBearsShed]

Easy fix it is just a paper gasket and due to the steering bush in the back of it they flex a little so some master gasket or similar works well.

[@josewilsonlozano9428]

[@georgesmith4520]

Great video. I have the 2030 but with 8 fwd and 4 reverse. (No hi loshifter near technometer.) When i engage pto with flail mower on it the hydraulics get weak and front hi press hydraulic pump starts to make noise (clunking). If i turn off the flail mower and rev the engine the hydraulics come back. The clutch and pressure plate was recently replaced. The hydraulic oil, filter and both screens ( one where you showed and one behind hi press hydraulic pump under air filter) were cleaned. Oil level is good. Im stumped what could be the cause for loosing hydraulic pressure if pto engaged with flail mower on it. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I think the PTO clutch circuit may have a leak. there is O rings on the pipes and sealing rings in the pack. You can test the pto pressure on the top cover but it sounds like you may need to split it for a look.

[@tigerlily7432]

I have similar issue on a 3140.

[@FarmBossSaws]

Thanks Lance, I may just "give it a go" sooner rather than later on my 2130. Is there any particular reason for splitting your tractor?

[@BundyBearsShed]

PTO brake was not working and it jumps out of reverse apart from that just to fix the oil leak we have found already.

[@alexharalambie1377]

Wheels size can be mounted on 1130 4wd? 🤔 I intend to install 16.9 r30 or 16.9 r32 on rear ,which is right size for front then?! Many thanks my friends

[@BundyBearsShed]

I dont know. you will need to check themanufacturere rolling radius data as different brands have different profiles.

[@shalensharma636]

Thanks Lance, i have a JD2130 HFWD tractor, trouble with low pressure is the hydraulic system and trouble with the electrical for the 4WD, do you know much about this, cheers, Shalen from bendigo

[@BundyBearsShed]

A little, the front electrics were often a pain with the HFWD. I thought I had a manual somewhere ill have a look. email [e-mail].

[@MorenoRoversi]

Buongiorno, il mio 3130 non funzionano più le marce veloci. le 6 marce lente e la presa di forza funzionano regolarmente. chiedo cortesemente che intervento devo fare. Cosa può essere successo? devo aprirlo? avete cortesemente qualche video da mostrarmi. Grazie

[@BundyBearsShed]

It sounds like your Hi/lo clutch pack will need work so splitting it behind the gearsticks is probably what you will need to do.

i have a 2130 ls and a problem. if the transmission is cold everything is ok. when the gearbox is warm it is not possible to shift Clutch is new and ok. Gears turn a little. what could that be. Thank you

Possibly the oil manifold in the tranny pump, there are some sealing rings there that wear.

working on a 2030 john deere no hydralics you can remove shifter and loop the two larger hydralic lines together and lift and steering works it has two 3/8 lines some has 4 mine has two think there for pto clutch and brake? but while i have no hydralics pto still works im guessing while i had the two larger lines looped together it filled up the resivor by radiator when i put it back together every thing worked until it pumped the resivor by radiator dry any sugestions thanks in advance

[@BundyBearsShed]

I would just split it behind the gear sticks, you probably have the oil shaft with worn rings.
