I just wanted to pass on some updates on the "European 4040" I"m purchasing soon in hopes that my information may answer questions or help anyone else out that may find themselves in the same boat. The tractor is a JD 4040 with a 359 Turbo engine and quad range transmission. According to JD, they have no record of this particular tractors serial # on the migrating tractor list or any other list!! The lady taking my call said that JD didn"t keep the best records on tractors in the early 80"s and it may very well NOT be a migrating tractor. It is not a 4040S, the type on the serial # tag says 4040, however it also says it was made in Germany, the same as my 1530 and 2555. According to JD, there may actually of been some 4040 row crops made in Germany with the 359 engine that were not made specifically for the European market. All I know is that my dealer has assured me that they can get any part I need for the tractor, and that"s enough for me. I would love to hear from anyone else out there who might have more info on this subject. It seems so confusing and frustrating to not know for sure about a tractors origin. Sorry for the long post, hope this helps someone else. Thanks.

my local dealer discourages any of his clients from buying tractors from europe. he says the tranmission are bad in neraly every one he's delt with because of so much highway usage.

Well I guess the good thing about this tractor is that it was bought brand new in the good old USA. Was used on a Maine potato farm most all of it's life. I suppose the dealer could have gotten it from Canada, but there aren't many roads in Northern Maine potato country.

The european 4040 was made in Mannheim. Mostly it's the same as the USA-4040, but it has a 6-cylinder turbo engine which was made in Europe. The same engine as a 3040 and 3140, but these have no-turbo engines. In the USA, I think the same as a 2950.
Here in Europe I've never heard that these had big problems, but I never owned one. The 4040S is newer (> 1982) and has mecanical front wheel assist. The 4040 had hydraulics.
The parts will not be a problem.
