Hello all,
I am working on a book about my Dad. Call it a book about rediscovering who he was (he passed when I was 11) as I search for the JD 4040 he had. It was sold about a year after he died. For whatever reason, that was my favorite tractor to ride with him on when I was a kid. I realize I may never find it, so I am trying to find all the information on the model I can.
I will take anything on it I can find, but I do have some specific items of interest. Going into bean harvest season, Dad would convert the 4040 from its standard wide front to a two-wheel narrow front, essentially turning the tractor into a tripod. He did this for a piece of equipment he needed ONCE a year that mounted on the front (it was a bean cutter, btw). My Google-Fu has failed me in finding the appropriate narrow front, or it is right in front of me and I can't see it. Can any of you tell me which model narrow front would mount to the 4040?
FWIW, it wasn't a roll-o-matic. Of that I am certain.
