John deere 4240s mud guards

[Jd4240s]

Just bought a real nice 4240s but would like a set of front mud guards to go on her, thought I'd put it out there in case any one has a set laid in the shed some where that they would like to sell.

Has Nick Young got any ?
Believe they are members on here.

Hi Masseyman

Yes I thought nick young might have some but unfortunately they have had a clear out of old stock and no longer have anything, can still buy the frames etc from Jd but can't get the cast mounts any more.

I will keep trying something will turn up

What a lovely specimen, lovely looking tractor that.
Better than money in the bank.

Tractor is a beaut. For front fenders there is one for breaking on ebay

Picture taken by my Aunt of me disappearing into the smoke on ours, discing ashes in after burning. Would be about 1990ish.

 

[Jd4240s]

Thanks Richy , yes tried that one no luck there either I'm afraid.

Love the picture weatonrotty, I rember riding with the old man pressure harrowing ash's in with the 42 and a wilder pressure harrow.

Good old days

It was certainly a step up in comfort from the Fiat crawler currently residing with @roscoe erf that was used before.

I'm pretty sure we went from a cat d4 to a jd 4240 around 1978

Sg2 cab must of been heaven compared with sitting on a crawler all day.

Did any body have the extra fuel tank on their 4240s I dont think it was a John deere extra I'm sure it was aftermarket, my dad had one on his which he mounted a tool box on top of, only seen one other like it in a picture.

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Definitely could have done with one. Neighbours had a 4440 which they had mounted an ex lorry tank on the front.
Best thing was having air con meant you could keep the windows shut and not go home as black as the ashes you were stirring up.
Still something about driving a crawler though!

I know you've only just bought her but if you ever decide to sell her please tell me

 

[Jd4240s]

Hi lord peasemore, yes she's not going anywhere soon spent a long time trying to find a nice original tractor.

Where are you in Newbury, can't be far from me.

Just at Peasemore, where are you based? She looks a peach, wish I had never sold mine, had it from new until 2002

 

[Jd4240s]

I'm at woodcote so not far, yes dad had one from new in 1985 just doing a few little tidying jobs to this one but not going to start painting it, think it's best left as it is.

Looks like it had a full set of duals fitted at some time,
Sold my 4240S last summer as it wasn't being used enough, sometimes wish I had kept it
