As soon as I can figure out how to post photos with slow*** dial-up I will. But in the meantime. I've made an offer on the JD 4040 European tractor with the 6 cylinder 359 Turbo. As far as JD knows, it is a 1982. SG cab, quad-range, 500 hours on new rims and tires, a few fitting leaks, uses no oil at all, however it puffs a little blue smoke when throttled up(goes right away), 7,500 hours on what appears to be original everything, good paint, needs new A/C compressor, $13,000. The farmer has excepted the offer. Does anyone here know the specs on this tractor? Most importantly, PTO HP? It must be more than 91 with that engine in it? Thanks for any comments. I'll attempt the picture posting again later.

I don't know, sounds like a nice tractor but I'd be concerned about the hours, is probally going to need a costly overhaul soon?

Good price if 4WD, steep if 2WD.

The tractor was built in Germany and I"m assuming shipped to Canada because it was bought brand new in Canada from a potato farm in the US. Spent most of it"s life cultivating potatoes. For the last thousand or so hours it"s been hooked up to a mixer. I"ve actually driven many quad-range tractors with half the hours that didn"t shift anywhere near as smooth as this one. I suppose it"s possible the tractor has had a complete overhaul, but not to my knowledge.

Those european tractors are hard to get parts for,most us dealers won't touch them because they don't have the service manuals to fix them,and they were not supposed to be sold in the US. Usually jocky's import them and try to pass them off to people who don't know any better.They cost thousands less than the US counterpart machines.

Totally,completely false and untrue bovine fertilizer. In fact a portion of the US 20,30 and first half of all 40 series US John Deere utility tractors were built in Mannheim Germany. All of the latter 1/2 of the 40 series, all 50 and 55 series utility tractors were built in Mannheim Germany. I laugh so hard when I hear somebody brag about their "built in the USA" John Deere. A quick wiping of dirt from the serial number plate and a look puts an awful pout on some faces. Then they go right ballistic when they discover the engine was built in Saran France.

Unless your in Europe,that's pretty high for one of those.That's a lot of hours,probably going to need an expensive overhaul soon,or pump work.
