I have a later model 2040. First question, Is the clutch pressure on these tractors hydraulic related? After reading several discussion threads I'm wondering if I have a hydraulic problem. Actually, it's the clutch that's acting up but when the tractor is pulling (ie. on the road going up a hill, pulling a plow, etc.) the clutch will slip relative to the amount of pull and what gear it's in (higher gear, more slip). Before jumping to conclusions that my clutch facings are worn out, read on... When cold, and/or in lower gears, the clutch will actually support enough to kill the engine. As it warms up, the slipping gets worse. At first, I had a hunch that oil was getting on the clutch, as is the nature of many older tractors I've operated since a kid. However, since I figured I'd have to split it anyway, I decided to just let it slip for a few seconds, knowing full well that I could damage the surface if it wasn't already. Anyway, when I let it slip a little, it would then gradually engage, enough to kill the engine (which does not happen with burnt facings), but then a 10-15 seconds later would release again. (Note: When I let it slip, there has never been a burnt clutch smell, which made/makes? me think it is fluid on the surface.) Gradually, it's gotten worse until the other day while plowing, in low gear, I'd be going along fine when suddenly, like I pushed in the clutch(not gradually), it would stop, then gradually start moving again. The warmer the tractor got the more often it would stop. I have not ruled out fluid getting on the clutch facing, but after reading some discussion threads, I'm wondering if someone knows whether this could be caused by fluctuating hydraulic pressure. I just recently purchased the tractor and I know it was in John Deere's shop so I'm also assuming the filters were changed, but I don't have proof of it. Thanks for any info!

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
