Hi new to the site and looking to get some advice on some issues i have been having with my JD 2440.
First i am having some problems with the alternator charging the batteries, i figured it was a bad alternator so i put a new one on it and it still is not producing the voltage required to recharge them when I am using the tractor. All the wires are hooked up and connections are clean and it shows voltage at the alternator. Any advice on what to start testing would be helpful.
Second I think the hydraulic pump is starting to get weak/fail. When i use the loader it shudders as i raise it up and the 3 pt hitch has started to fall after i shut the tractor off and come back in an hour or two. How can I test this is the problem and is getting it reconditioned worth it or just install a new one? The fluid in the tractor is a year old and so is the filter.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
