This site won't let you "upload pics." You either need to put them in one of the galleries listed on the home page, or have an account on an external photo hosting site. Then you can link them in here.

The 2400A is an industrial tractor, not a farm tractor, and is really kind of an orphan these days.

Basically the difference between farm tractors and industrial tractors are the color of the paint, the type of tires used, and possibly some added features to make the tractor handier in an industrial setting. Shuttle shift is common, as are higher-capacity hydraulics for quicker loader response and heavier axles, etc.

Hi, I believe 2400A is based on 454 IH farm
tractor but as mkirsch said there are differences.
Is it gas or 3 cyl Diesel? Parking brake is
biggest problem. Operator leaves parking brake
engaged and drives tractor tearing up parking
brake band which is in diff/trans that is also
reservoir for hydraulic fluid. The bits of parking
brake band will clog hydraulic filters. But if
this happened years ago and hydraulic filter has
been changed many times the bits are all gone or
collected in bottom of diff/trans.

Hi, it will have a C-157 gasoline engine.

Enjoy your new tractor, it should give you good
service.

it has some engine noise near the number 4 cylinder. did that engine have an engine balancer?

Hi, sorry I have only worked on D-179 Diesel engine.

Do the mechanic's broom stick technique to listen to
noise and locate the source.
