The guy that owns the 4040 I'm looking at told me today that it was a turbo engine. I didn't look for it the other day because I assumed the 404 engine in these tractors was natural aspiration. Was there an aftermarket turbo kit for these? Would that hurt the engine?

Take a look at the tractor again and make a note of the Engine SN it is located on the RH side of engine near the oil filter (if it is a 404)
The SN will indiacate what engine it has. I have heard of some people adding turbo"s to them, and again it comes down to how well it was looked after, and did they give the injection pump more fuel when they added the turbo or did they just add the turbo and not touch the pump? Adding turbo"s to the naturally aspirated engines does not gain you enough HP to make it worth while, most of the non turbo engines do not have the proper cooling by the piston skirt, to keep the engine cool.

Ah yes, make sure you are looking at a 4040 and not a 4040S. I don't know what the S stands for, someone may be able to fill you in on that, but they had the German made 359 in them with a turbo and not the 404. It is possible to put a turbo on the 404 that would have come in the regular 4040, just use one off of a 4430, 7700 turbo combine etc. but I wouldn't recommend it as you do not have the cooling jets for the pistons and if the pump has been turned up you can have a melt down if you over work the tractor. Easiest way to tell the 359 from the 404 is the 359 has the injection pump on the left side where the 404 has it on the right. Other than the engines I don't know if there is any differences in the rest of the tractor, transmission wise and what not. At the engine is where my knowledge ends.
