2140 Startup

Starting problems on the JD 2140

One of my brothers took the 2130 to do volunteer snow clearing in the big city so he wanted the tractor to be more reliable so he replaced the two 778DT Co-op batteries that I had no trouble with for 10 years. This is exceptional but I used to put grease in connections to keep prevent corrosion. On seldom used equipment, that I think have a drain, I disconnect ground between uses.

She sounds a little slow... Dry bushings and worn out brushes..
We put a new starter on the 4010 last year. Had a starter off a 4630 on it, but at a few hundred dollars to rebuild it and a week to get it back...I found an inexpensive gear drive on the internet. $149. Can't remember the shipping, but wasn't much if any... It's worked great so far!! And spins the Engine just a little faster👍
Probably Chinese made, came from an outfit in Florida...

Yeah our 2750 use to that periodically even when it was brand new. But our 2955 never gave us minutes trouble. Thank you for the video update eh.

I have a europen 2140 so it might be a litle diferent but on these tractors the grund cable from eatch battery is to weak to just run on one battery.

Try using Fluid Film on your terminals once you get them clean, it’s the only product that keeps the terminals corrosion free on my riding lawn mower.

I’ve found in 2/3 of times it’s the earth/ground cable is the issue, those style Bosch starters are usually ok..
