John Deere 2640

Jeremy 1992 · Jun 6, 2016

I just picked up a john Deere 2640 from my neighbor dirt cheap. Has a john Deere brand front end loader. It has been sitting for about 5 years. All fluids look good and clean. I got it started and ran if for a few hours. I know of course to change all fluids but I was wondering I'd there is anything else I need to do to get it back in topshape. Pto hydrolics brakes all seem to work great. Thanks

Better to ask on the JD forum .
Use a test strip to check engine coolant corrosion inhibitor . Otherwise budget for a set of new sleeves.
Replace the r
Transmission filter and clean the screen. Get back to use what you find in the filter.
Is the loader hydraulics properly connected with a ported transmission filter oil return ? Or some sort of "farmer fix" using the SCV or dumping back direct to sump?
1-800-522-7448 for the operator's and service manuals. Parts manual is free on the JD web site.

Jeremy: I am a relatively new 2540 owner myself......I'd be interested to stay in touch and know what you learn.
