Ford /NH 40 series

Does the shuttle button work? ie disconnect drive?
Does look really good and I think it will hold its value, I sold a 7740sle 2wd 10 years ago for £9500 in similar condition.

Yes the button disconnects drive, but then puts a code on the dash, and won't reconnect drive until it's been moved back to neutral

The dump switch is a pile of all disconnected on mine.

€30k for an immaculate 7840.
I might have found a way out of mine.

" The NH based ones are better machines, better tractors, and better transmissions ".

Did you do a transmission re-calibration, might help ?

How do I do one of them..??

Didn't know sl's had a shuttle button?
Anyhoo....just check EVERYTHING works really. Check PTO stops as well as starts etc....
For my money I'd buy this from Gwili......7740, 2wd 3000 hrs, SLE......

Just zoomed In and I see it's a dual power model

 

[inagrimix]

click the shuttle button 2 times quite quick and engage forward or reverse and your away

Did you get a fault code?

Proceed with caution

Clutch fill calibration click

Do a google search and get another opinion/method, compare the two and if they follow the same procedure, work away.

Chafed cable going to shuttle button

Mines been like that for years, its quite common i think.I just use the clutch anyway.

Im guessing but does code e26 ring a bell?

 

[Dr Evil]

Error code was just the letters "CP"

A New Holland dealer (not the one who owns this tractor!) mechanic told me it's nothing to worry about.

thanks all for the advice/guidance.

Error Code CP is Clutch Pedal, I get that with mine if I miss use the dump switch - it's telling you to declutch

= it's not getting signal that the dump button is being pressed. Wires have chafed, button is knackered or bad connection in multi plug. Easy fix.
4 (?) screws to lift plastic surround around levers, follow wires down from shuttle lever (heat shrink'ed into groove in lever) and fiddle with small mutlt plug.

Morning all,

Just picked up a 1998 8340 for my parents and drove it home on Saturday. All went well for the first few hours but I stopped to fill with diesel and when I went to drive on again the transmission oil pressure light came on and wouldn't go out. I stopped for about 3/4 hour and it went out and I drove on again. However I stopped for a call of nature a few hours further on (left the engine running this time) and light was on when I got back it. Had to leave it about an hour and a half at that stage and was just about to abandon it in a farmyard when it went out again and I drove on home. An odd time at traffic light and roundabout it would come on again but went out when I drove on. I was on the big 6 cylinder page on Facebook while I was stopped the second time and found out the bypass valve for the transmission oil cooler seems to be gone as there is no oil going through the cooler. Also checked all the filters and they are tight. Anyhow I started it last night and light is staying on with everything cold. Its fitted with a loader and when you come to the end of travel it gets whiney. Oil level is actually a bit above the full mark. I'll order a bypass valve but I'm thinking that's not going to put the light out. Anybody have this problem before or know where to go next?

A new pressure sensor would be a cheap swap to test if the sensor switch has jammed/shorted after your run.

 

[agrimax]

And change the filters anyway. The gasket on the control valve might have blown too although I would have thought it should be displaying codes due to pressure loss by now.

 

[Humding]

Filters had just been changed by previous owner and are tight. Getting no error codes and still driving fine through all the gears
