I have a 2440. what is the opinion about the 4 cyl 219cid diesel engine in the 2440? what's your opinion about the tractor in
general? Mine is straight shift transmission, 146 loader. I think it has about 6200 hours.

Some people say it was made in Germany but the tag on it says Iowa. what's the scoop?
drawbar. thanks

I could be wrong, but I thought 1975 model 1530's and 2030's were the last Iowa-built JD utilities. Those models were also produced in Germany. Does the chassis tag say Iowa, or the engine serial tag? It wouldn't surprise me if the engine was US-built, and the chassis German. JMHO

drawbar, The 2440 and 2640 were the last ag models built in Dubuque Iowa. These models I think were also built in Germany but I am not sure on that. All the smaller models of the 40 series and the larger 2840 utility's were built in Germany. Your tractor was no doubt built in Dubuque Iowa. The 219 was the engine for the 2440 and was a good engine the 2640 used the 276 and was a good engine and a very gutty engine but the heavier counter weights on the ballancer shafts of 276 did require more maintenance. The 2640 with the 276 would make a fool out of a 3020 on the dyno. I think they were rated around 70 horse and easily would produce it. Hope this information helps. Dave W.
