Thanks for the tips Stubbie,I'll let you know what I have. I did have a code 85, that code refers to control switch in trouble. I m looking at buying a work shop manual for my tractor, $135.00 from the dealer. Hoping to find the manual for a little less if possible. Thanks again,jim

i know on my 3240, when i shift into front wheel assist, the fwd lever sometimes feels like it wont engage ,but if i slowly put tractor in motion, forward or back wards, the shifter will easily engage. always wanted to know why i meet this resistance with the fwd shifter it tractor is at a...

i removed the hst control switch off my l 3240. to determine if switch is bad,and needs replaced, I did some searches, and If I understand the test procedure is to ohm it out , with control ohm tested on low, medium and high settings. ohm readings should be around 200 , 500, 800 if control...

I have noticed that the HST control switch,located on the left side of the dash panel , has the control knob that let's you choose HST response speed, also to select stall guard . I believe the switch is faulty, I cannot select, or have any functions that respond . I did get a code pop up on...

I notice while using the rear pto , that It starts to leak trans/hyd oil from the bottom of the tractor (out of the little drip hole that has that plunger pin hanging down) I assume a oil seal is bad, not sure what is all involved to correct this. if i dont use rear pto , everything is okay...
