Been long time since I replaced tire rods on a car and did not know what a torque wrench was then but it was simple as Frank said, tighten them firm and on mine then install cotter key.

I worked for major heavy equipment manufacturer for about 10 years in all kinds of position from Manufacturing Engineering to Quality Control and very few bolts were torqued using a torque wrench, very few.

I did not remove the PV or the pressure switch
on this first go round. I use carb cleaner inside
and flushed it out a few times. I loosened the
hoses to the cylinder and bled out the fluid turning
the steering left and right. I then held the wheel in one
direction and tightened the hose.
Steering is not where it was but it is improved.
I will bench clean the PV when I get down time.

What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?

What type of trans fluid?

Thanks

You probably have a broken return spring inside the clutch under the moveable sheave. It has to come off and you have to unscrew the spider to get to it. Or, if you have bad flat spots on your rollers, that will cause the spider to bind sometimes.

Sorry I disappeared on y'all. I got my xeroxed owners manual off EBay. Evidently, this tractor has two PTO modes. One is independent (clutch can be used to stop the forward motion of the tractor while keeping the pto engaged) and ground synchronous (connected directly to the rear wheels). The knocking noise is heard in both modes when hooked up to the bush hog, standing still or moving. Quiet as can be in both modes when not hooked up.

The transmission fluid is light brown after driving the tractor, but it is way past the high fill line (almost double). I think I know how this occurred. When I got this tractor a couple of years ago, I changed the fluid and filter, but I believe I, only drained it form the forward drain plug. If I'm reading this manual correctly, there are two drain plugs (someone please confirm this).
Also can I use the Tractor Supply Traveller Universal Trans/Hydraulic oil for older tractors.

The bush hog's u-joints appear to be fine and my neighbor has used it recently with no noise. A man, that use to be a Long dealer who still has parts and uses a couple of 2610 DTCs in his hay fields was suppose to come buy and listen to this baby, but has not shown, yet. I hat bothering the old fella, cause I know his health is bad, but I've been hoping he'd at least listen to it.

I'm going by there this weekend to buy a new hydraulic filter and I will try and talk him into it. Thanks for all the responses.

For what it is worth, I have a 27 hp Kubota and it handles 72 inch rear finish mower very well. As long as grass does not get ahead of me and it is then slow down. Would not want any less HP for that size deck.

At the beginning of last summer I replaced the air filters. I used the tractor very little . Cut the pasture 3 times and did a few other things. I did take off the air in take that sits on top of the motor and there was nothing in there. I did notice this. When I have in Low (1) or Medium (2) with the rpm's at 2500 and let off the clutch, the rpm's stay the same and I take off. When I have it in High (3) and I let off the clutch the rpm's drop and wants to die. I've had the tractor for 16 years. Bought it new. Only have changed the fluids as recommended and bought a battery or two.

You didn't say if the hoe was powered by the tractor hydraulic system or PTO pump! I would rather use a hoe with a separate pump set up, they run much cooler. As said before, hydraulic oil expands when hot,the dip stick should have a Max mark on it, never go over it. Swing cylinders are not designed for sweeping side to side pushing piles of dirt. I ran a 6 yard twin engine 100 ton Hitachi hoe that was designed the same way, you could lightly sweep, but not heavy pushing to the side. Commercial units have oil coolers, 3 point tag ons do not. I have a 3 point hoe on the farm that works very well and I've run it all day at times digging ditches, it never got to hot to run. It has an external pump. Main thing about a 3 pt hoe is, make sure your tractor chassis/housing is externally braced to take the extra pressure a hoe puts on it! Many have been broken in half because of this overlook. PJ<br>

Yeah, the link works on this end, might be your set up or your server. Anyway, the old JD spreader has no bids on it, so put any bid out there and set on it, not too many people interested in an old wood s**t spreader and you could get one very cheap! Some guys just want to get that old machinery off their property! Depending just how much work you want to do, I'd make sure the bottom is not rotted out, which is the first thing to go. JMHO. PJ

Hi, I have a Massey Ferguson TEA 20 or 24 I am not sure. I have a problem with the gears. I can get 1,2,3,4 but cant get R or S. I have had the gear stick off and can select 1,2,3,4 with a screwdriver easily but cant get R or S, it appears to be locked solid and nothing I do will get it into S or R. It was working fine the other week but has just stopped working. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks

Cruise ships are quite popular and I do agree with Murf that I like to spend more then a few hours at some of the destinations.
We have cruised much of the gulf with the eastern cruises as well as the western. We have not explored beyond that and most of the cruises were from the companies we deal with.
The best one was for our 25th when we did the Panama canal although some of the stops we had been to before for vacations the canal was the highlight! We have talked about going again next year with the 100th coming up and the big channel for the 200 foot wide monster boats opening.

Yesterday (5-20-13) I was moving a load of dirt into an area where I had almost no room left on either side of the tractor. When I finally edged the tractor and the load of dirt to the position where I dumped the dirt I had about an inch of space left on each side. It really made me think about, and to appreciate the versatility of the hydrostat transmission (HST) in the L3240. It was a real delight to not have to ride the clutch and manipulate the throttle, all at the same time as I tried to stay lined up on each side. For me at least, having a tractor with the HST makes a world of difference.

I work in a sand and gravel operation. We use water truck for dust control. My pick up stays a mess. Use the drive thru's during the winter when I can't stand it any more. During the summer have the Hotsey out often and wash truck. Do a hand job on truck a couple of times a year.

Now the Harley's are another story. Minimum of weekly usually every ride either complete hand job or quickie with pressure washer to remove bug guts. They are detailed at least every 2 weeks with quickie polish each wash getting the hi points.

During the week if just a couple of short trips I may not wash, just do windshield.

Filled with deisel and think there was some water in it. Tractor ran for a while and then just shut down. I knew the filter was old so changed it, which it needed. Had to take fuel lines off filter to replace it. Reconnected it all then lostened the main gas line and let it bleed any water i seen out. Tried to bleed everything up to the enjector bleed screw. Once i got fuel to it i locked it down and pumped thebprimer pump about 10 more times. Tractor started up and ran for about 5 mins and shut off. Can bleed it again and does same thing. I took whit i think is the feed pump apart was a little corroded so cleaned up. Had nut with heavy spring and inside a little cup looking thing spring set it. I freed it all up bleed everything again and same thing. Acts like as long as injector pump has fuel it runs fine. Please help

First make sure your PTO is out of gear.
If your clutch is adjusted to spec and the linkage is not flexing or bending the clutch may be froze to the flywheel.
Make sure you have the Free Travel, that inch or 2 the clutch goes down before it starts to release the clutch.

Your model I do not know exactly. Mine was not releasing.The Clutch plate was stuck to the flywheel.

Mine had a access plate in the area where you adjust the clutch. I did the same thing we used to do for old trucks.
Took the plate off
Had my wife push in the clutch
I placed a small cold chisel on the flywheel face so when I hit the chisel it would go between the clutch and flywheel. Hit the chisel a couple of solid blows. It made a dent in the clutch material bit no big deal. You may or may not see the clutch break loose from the flywheel.

With the tractor out of gear start the tractor and let it run for a couple of minutes. Push the clutch in and out a few times while you rev the engine up a little. If the chisel did not break it loose completly the centrifical torque should finish breaking it loose. Try shifting into one of your lower gears to see if the clutch is released.

If that did not do it I would try the chisel and run it one more time.

Last resort if the clutch still will not work. This last one is what I would do on my own tractor. Not recommending you do it but could work. I would start adjusting the clutch to increase the free travel (that inch or so the clutch pedal goes down before it starts to actually start doing anything to release the clutch. Increase the free travel a little (1/8-1/4 inch) at a time and test it.
