2240 is 50 HP at the PTO. Engine HP is 60. Ive had mine for 4 years. Very handy tractor, not as nice as the 2155 on the farm I co-own with my brothers, that one is easier to shift and has independent PTO rather than the dual clutch my 2240 has. Mine does have the hi-lo, which I like, although I understand its expensive to fix if it goes bad. I changed all the filters, fluids, and cleaned the screen in the hydraulic system, used a coolant made for sleeved engines to reduce cavitation damage. Operator station is a bit cramped with the wheels set narrow, which you need to do to haul it unless you have a deck over trailer. Really easy starting tractor in cold weather (Virginia, so not terribly cold), doesnt have glow plugs, has ether assist system but Ive never needed it. Only major repair has been getting the injection pump rebuilt, which wasnt really a big deal. Lots of minor stuff to fix: lights, which was mostly a matter of running grounds for them; needed starter switch, light switch, ground cable to battery run to the body of the tractor rather than relying on sheet metal. I like mine even though its overkill for what I do with it, mostly just snowplowing and driveway grading. I have a more modern compact tractor (MF 1240), which has a loader and is more operator friendly than the JD, but I just like the old JD, use it whenever I can make a case for it. Its a real tractor, even though its quite small compared to what most farmers use these days.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
