Hi there, just a 1977 2840 from the estate of the original owner appears to be in great shape, clean and straight. He was a gentleman farmer, his daughter said that the tractor had a very easy life. Mostly making hay and mowing pasture and airstrip for their Cessna. However the transmission light comes on. The transmission/clutches were overhauled 300hours ago but tractor did sit unused for a few years. I will be checking everything you mentioned and changing fluid and filter. Thank you, can't wait to get her out cutting/baling hay this summer.

Just saw this. Great explanation of the process of diagnosing the problem. I have a 2840, and my problem is leaking around the load bars on the lift arms. Any hints? The JD seals don't seem to work.

I usually take apart the cylinders and have my local hydraulic hose maker match up the seals for a repack. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

@@vintagediesel-1 I have a great dealership for getting parts. I was wondering if you had a "hack" that does it better. Experience beats most service books, and I have the service book. I don't like the term hack, I believe "aftermarket experience" is much better. 👍

hi, I'm a farmer in Kentucky. I have a 3130 the same as the 2840, but made in Germany. after it warms up I lose the PTO and power steering and the 3 point hitch. I went through everything you just did and still the same. any help is appreciated

Begin at the bypass valve. If it isn't bypassing the bypass valve the problem will require you to split it. Inside are tubes and at each end of the tubes are o-rings. If the bypass valve isn't bypassing then it is bypassing internally . Check each tube and replace the o-rings. Hope that helps you and thanks for watching.

@@vintagediesel-1 You are talking about the tubes that feed the internal transmission charge pump. I am having similar problems with my JD 2355 farm tractor, I have changed the high-pressure pump several times, ( not cheap, by the way) and have finally concluded that my charge-pump is not feeding my high-pressure pump. I have checked my filter by-pass valve, and cleaned my screen, and changed my oil filter several times, and checked my pressure regulating valve that is in the line after the charge pump. That valve was difficult to find for a novice. It is only a ball with a spring keeping pressure on it. I did find some debris in the pressure regulating valve ( the steering pressure regulating valve that ensures priority pressure to the steering) , but it did not affect its operation, and it has not fixed my problem. I will disconnect the hose from the charge pump and look for pressure and flow. If I do not find it there, then I will have to split my machine and look at the supply for the charge pump. Probably the O-Rings are the culprit like you say. It used to work well until the oil heated up, then it stopped working until sitting overnight to cool back down again.

That unit uses the oil cooler built onto the radiator. Check it for obstruction and possibly blow it out with air. Did you find any source of debris or metal in the oil when you changed fluids? The long tubed screen drivers side on the bottom of the differential is notorious for clogging. Make sure it's clean and clear also. Thanks for watching, I sure hope it helps you. Let's us all know how it turns out.

@@williamvuinovich7490 It's possible the unit only has the below the pto screen. Have you checked the oil cooler for internal flow? It possibly could be obstructed keep the fluid from reaching the cooler.
