We have an early SN 2240. There are two different versions... -34,999 (pre-tiger stripe) and 35,000 (tiger stripe). My understanding is that the later SN machines have several updates. However, our early SN 2240 has been a great tractor. It has the independent PTO (lift knob between gear shifters), and the two speed power shift (rebuilt once... ouch... but great to have). As others have said power steering is the best. Nice to have diff lock and foot throttle too. We use ours mostly to mow around trees with 7 foot Deere 717 brush mower. Low, horizontal exhaust is great for that. As others have mentioned, I would not prefer to use it as a loader tractor. Swept back front axle is great for tight turns, but not good for a loader. Also, the whole way that range I and II work with Reverse, it seems that you are often going too slow or too fast in reverse (so you need to shift both levers). One other thing, we updated ours with a single GP31 battery. Not quite the combined CCA of the original 2 parallel car batteries, but much simpler and durable.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
