I have had my JD40 T for about a decade, and have been using it around my "mini-farm" for all sorts of things. Even though it is the "Tricycle" model, it has the stock tubular 68" - 88" adj. axle wide front end

I have recently been looking for a bobcat or tractor with a loader, and have come across some old JD's with the JD #40 or #45 Loader, and have seen the loaders themselves for sale. Does anyone know what is involved in putting one of these on a 40, and would the wide front end hold me back? What about the hydraulics? Is it even a good idea?

One other thing. Has anyone come across, or know anybody who has any, 40T front and/or side weights. The 40 is real light in the front, and this is sometimes a "pain" - and I don't really want to just hang some ugly blocks off the front. I guess wheel weights for the 15" wheels would be OK if I could find them too.

Thanks for any help.

Scott, My 40T had a 3 peice weight set on the front end. I think they were 75# on the side and 150# on the front.

I am interested in the front weight for the John Deere 40T.

How much are you selling the front weight for?

My memory isn't what it was but my recolection is that a #45 loader was for a tractor with narrow front. The #35 was for a wide front end. I have a #35 on a 430U and it works good, the parts book shows mounting brackets for a 40 or 40T. Hydraulics I believe are the same as the 420 or 430, a live pump. On mine it is plumbed into the pressure and return lines just ahead of where they go into the rockshaft housing under the seat.
Don't know where you would find mounting other than to adapt what was on it. I'm not familiar with the #40 loader. #35 is "quick tach" and easy to take on and off. One thing for sure, if you put a loader on the tractor you will never need front weights
