Actually, larger farm tractors do use speedometers. Most have sensors on the output shaft. Others have optional radar guns hooked to the speedo for accurate readings. Todays equipment also uses GPS for measuring yields and getting accurate application of chemicals, seed, and fertilizers.

Keep hounding the dealer and john deere. Deere's consumer help line is 1-800-537-8233. The 4000 series has had more than it's fair share of problems but most if not all have been addressed. If you haven't been in contact with anyone at deere in almost a year with all of your problems then shame on you. Call your dealer and demand to talk with the territory aftermarket manager. He (or she) is your connection to get the dealer to act on these problems. If the dealer is unsatisfactory, then call the next closest dealer to see if they will help you. Don't wait until the warranty is expired to take action. People are always saying after warranty is over that "It's been like this since it was new." The dealer or deere doesn't want to hear that. Get moving!

It sounds more like you have a defective ignition module or a bad coil. Will it start up immediately after stalling or do you have to wait for it to cool down?

You might try local john deere dealer if you have one nearby. Take your old filter along and they might match it up with a deere filter since some earlier deere compacts were basicly yanmars with deere paint. I have successfully matched some up in the past ,although I can't comment on the 220 specificaly. Part # CH12767 is a common filter and it lists for under $20.

It is my understanding that a properly working system can go many years without pumping. The problem is not many work properly. With all of the detergents and chemicals that go into the systems, it kills off the bacteria that decomposes the waste. If you happen to have a public water supply with chlorine and flouride additives, you should probably pump your system every 2-3 years.

The 2155 was an excellent tractor. There are many variables when considereing value. Is it mfwd? Air-conditioned? How many hours? How many hydraulic outlets? Is it a deere loader? What condition are the tires? Is the overall appearance good? A 2155 with mfwd, factory cab, and air with deere loader in excellent condition with low hours could easily sell for $20,000 on a dealers lot.

John Deere 2040's used two different hydraulic systems. Some were open center and some were closed center. You need to be sure which system you have before you can get the proper parts. If you want the factory setup, the closed center system is quite expensive but relatively easy to install. You can expect to spend in excess of $1000.00 in parts for new. Used closed center parts should be fairly plentiful. A 1978 2040 is probably open center though. Used parts for open center valves would probably be rare since deere didn't build many of these. The cheapest solution for either would be an aftermarket spool valve that you could fabricate mountings and hoses to install.

The correct size is 7 x 15. The john deere part number is AM103815. The correct tire size is 27 x 8.50 x 15. Part number R77977. They are available new from deere but as Bill said, they are quite expensive.

It sounds as if the mower is not adjusted properly. these mowers should raise a good six inches if setup and adjusted properly. Also as Tom pointed out, if the deck is not slightly lower in front, it robs power becuse the front of the blade cuts then the rear of the blade has to cut again. Also some misadjusted rockshaft linkage or mower lift valve could result in the hydraulic pump running in relief which is a big power robber. Hopefully your dealer has an experienced tech that can get your machine running correctly.

I haven't heard of this problem, but possibly they are using the wrong attaching kits. Deere is calling for BM19566 and BM19564. I hope this helps.

Jim, that much leakage is considered excessive. If your tractor is under warranty, I would definately get it repaired now. If it is not in warranty it all depends on how much it bothers you. As long as it does what you want, it shouldn't cause any additional problems. But it will probably tend to get worse as time goes on.

I hate to say it, but it sounds as if you have a bad dealer. Most dealers will go out of their way to try and get something covered under warranty for you. If I were you , I would send some letters to Deere and see if you get some action. My dealer has not had any problem getting loose wheel problems covered. There has been enough problems to issue a service information bulletin. Tell them you are aware of SIB 01-11-35-05. Deere's recommended fix is to helicoil any damaged holes in axle and install new wheels with LVU12708 bolts and 24M7436 washers. They are doing away with the tapered seat lug bolts.

It does look like all of the parts are the same in the parts catalog for the drawbar and draft links. All parts on the three point should interchange.

It is rare for one of these magnetic alternators to go bad. 99% of the time I have found the regulator to be bad. To test the alternator, you need a voltmeter which has an AC voltage scale. I believe the spec is 28 - 32 AC volts at wide open throttle. If the alternator checks OK then it is saf to assume that the regulator is defective. One word of caution, if you get a replacement regulator, be careful to check that the mounting screws aren't too long. new regulators from deere are thinner than the original which can cause the screws to gouge into the fuel tank. Put some washers under the head of the screws or get shorter screws.

The 4200 does have a seat switch which is tied into the neutral start system. If the operator is not in the seat when the neutral switch is not activated, the engine will shut down. You may be able to adjust the switch so it has more positive engagement. If not, the neutral switch will need to be replaced. The pto also needs to be in the disengaged position or the same situation arises.

I haven't been able to find how many were built , but I would venture to say the numbers were pretty small. The dealer I work for only sold three of these when they were built. They are a very handy tractor especially for cultivating and gardening type work. The offset design allowed excellent visibility for cultivating work. The drivetrain was basically the same as the 950 models which are widely known as excellent tractors. They were only offered in 2wd .

Deere sold a #7 backhoe which fit the 655 & 755. It was a frame mount machine but it is not sold anymore. you might find a used one or an aftermarket one to fit. Most aftermarket ones are three point mount.

Ken, I have never heard of anyone adding a fuel gauge to an early 950. I would think it should be possible, but pretty expensive. The fuel tank would need replacing to accomodate a sender and the gauge itself would need to be installed. As far as fuel consumption, it varies greatly depending on what job you are doing. If you're mowing heavy grass, you may need to refill every couple of hours. If you are doing odd jobs with lots of idling, a tank of fuel could last a couple of days. If you run out of fuel, it is not a tragedy. The fuel system is easy to bleed out. Since the fuel tank is mounted high, gravity does most of the work. There are three bleed screws on the system. Two of them are on the fuel filter base. They can be loosened with a phillips screwdriver or a 10 mm wrench. Start with the screw on the left side of the fuel filter base. Loosen it until you get all fuel and no air bubbles coming out, then tighten. Move to the right hand screw and loosen briefly to allow any air to escape. Then move on to the next screw which is located at the fuel injection pump. Follow the fuel line from the filter to the pump and the fitting at the pump has the bleed screw in it. Again loosen the screw and wait for all of the air to escape, then tighten the screw. Now place the throttle at about half throttle and crank engine until it starts. If it doesn't start after 30 seconds, stop cranking for about 1 minute to allow starter to cool, then crank for another 30 seconds. If engine does no start by now you should repeat bleeding procedure. Good luck. You have a nice machine.

Brad, the 990 uses the same 430 loader with different mounting brackets. The 4300 has a higher hydraulic system relief pressure than the 990, so you might see a slight reduction in lift capacity. I was unable to find any specs to send you.

Todd, the first thing I would check is to see if the brakes are dragging. On a smooth, level surface, unlock the parking brake and place the hi-low range lever in neutral. The tractor should now roll very easily by hand. The range lever is located under your right hand leg just under the seat. If the tractor rolls easily, you may indeed have a transmission problem. If it does not roll easily, I would jack up the tractor one wheel at a time and see if there is more drag on one wheel or another. It could be something as simple as the brake linkage out of adjustment. Also is the tractor four wheel drive? if so is the problem worse with front wheels engaged? If it binds excessively with front wheels engaged, you could have mismatched tire sizes. Kenny
