Not sure if you'll see this on such an old video but I figured I'd give it a shot: I just bought a '69 140 and I'm having an issue: I went to drain the transaxle and was only able to get about 2qts out before it started draining super slow. Afterwards while trying to refill it, I'd be able to pour a small amount of hydraulic fluid in and it would rise to the top, bubble, and go down like it had a bunch of air in the system. I read in the owners manual there was a breather screen but I couldn't seem to locate it. Really I'm just trying to figure out the issue of filling the rear end because I can pour about, I don't even know, an eighth of a quart in, it comes up to the top of the fill tube, then all the air comes to the top, bubbles out and the fluid goes down which takes forever.
I can't keep up with you but I do have two 140's in my collective heard,'73&'74. That '69 well both of them there are really nice, look forward to more about it. Thanks mm.
A 73 and 74 would be nice to have. Certainly the most refined of the 140's. I don't think I would try to keep up with anyone. Everyone's situation and wants are different.
In this case it's just a pedal that does nothing. In previous model years it was the clutch disconnect. Pushing that pedal in during starting disconnected the engine from the transaxle. This made starting easier on the engine since it wasn't turning over the hydro pump when starting.
@@mmrbeef Okay thanks, I was pushing on it like a idiot trying to get it to start haha. I am 13 and I just love collecting these tractors. I got a 1985 318 and a 1969 140

I really want an all original 140 h3.
I have a mid 60's john deere model 60 round fender. Been collecting dust for years. I should get er running.
They are a lot of fun to play with and use!
Points, a plug, & a condenser, plus a shot of starter fluid next... to let you know if you're getting fuel or not...

Nice looking 140, when it comes time to add another one here it may be one of those.
Thanks. I am very happy with it. Now I just need to get it to run!
I'm sure it's something simple and you'll have it back to life in no time.
I would like to have a jd 140 👌. I have a 420 and 2 318.
Whats the left pedal for and how do you use it?

Have you ever gotten a tractor with a month day and year written in black under the hood and a number next to it?
I've had a couple like that. I think my 1988 318 has some marking under the hood. I will have to look next time I working with it.
