John Deere 4040 Tractor Parts

4040 parts and accessories

The John Deere 4040, manufactured from 1978 to 1983, was a popular utility tractor known for its reliability and versatility. Powered by a robust John Deere diesel engine, it delivered around 80 horsepower at the PTO, making it well-suited for a variety of farming tasks. Farmers appreciated its comfortable operator station and strong hydraulic system, contributing to its lasting legacy.

The John Deere 4040 was introduced in 1978 as part of the 'Iron Horse' lineup, replacing the earlier John Deere 4030. It was produced until 1983, when it was succeeded by the John Deere 4050. The 4040 is powered by a John Deere 6.4L (390 cu in) 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 85 engine horsepower and 75 PTO horsepower. The transmission options included a SyncroRange transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, or the optional Quad-Range transmission with 16 forward and 6 reverse gears, which provided a wider range of working speeds. The PTO offered both 540 and 1000 RPM options, allowing it to power a variety of implements. Its hydraulic system delivered around 26 GPM flow to power implements and the 3-point hitch, which was Category II rated. It was commonly used for row crop operations, hay baling, livestock feeding, and light tillage. Unlike some larger models, it was compact enough for smaller farms, while still providing enough power for demanding tasks.
