John Deere 2640 engine turning tool

therd3 · Apr 22, 2014

I have a JD 2640 that the throttle lever broke off the injector pump so I need to remove the pump. I need to set the engine at TDC using the engine turning tool. Any one know what number fits a 2640. I've seen a JDE-1-1 AND JDE-3 and a few more but none had my tractor listed. :?:

thanks

After looking at other post I think I posted this in the wrong place and did not see a a way to remove it. I put the same post in tractor talk.

Actually, the John Deere board would probably have been the best place.

I've pulled quite a few injection pumps over the years and have never had anything to turn the engine for any of them. That said when you don't have, or can't find a tool the best thing is to use one of the bolts on the crank pulley, or the one large, center bolt, on the end of the crank to turn the engine. If those aren't accessible you can pull the starter and use a big screwdriver, or pry bar to catch the teeth in the starter ring and turn it that way. Usually what I do is bump the starter until I get close to TDC that way and then go the final little bit with the pry bar. It may take a little longer doing it this way that it does having the correct tool, but it beats spending money on a tool you'll probably only use once.
