REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK 2030 TRACTOR

JOHN CAMMACK · Dec 30, 2009

HELLO,

I PURCHASED A JOHN DEERE 1972 2030 TRACTOR.
IT DOESN'T HAVE DIFFERENTIAL REAR LOCK.. CAN I INSTALL IT.

It may can be changed but would require a donor tractor or salvage parts which would be quite expensive and time consuming.

By chance is the actuator rod still there.And somebody just removed the handle due to the mechanism being seized tight with rust?

BUICKANDDEERE,

ALL I SEE ON THE TRANNY IS A BOLT OR PLUG WHERE THE HEEL PEDAL WOULD GO.
I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANYTHING APART. THERE WAS ONE ON THE LOT, THAT HAD THE DIFFERENTIAL REAR LOCK, JUST LIKE IT BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE HYDRAULICS IN THE BACK...SO I DIDN'T PURCHASE IT. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THE SHIFT GEAR ALREADY ON THE DIFFERENTIAL SHAFT. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PURCHASE THE SHIFT YOKE, SPRING ,DOGS,SHAFT AND PEDAL, ETC. I HAVE THE SERIAL #141971T AND TYPE P5R3C MADE IN IOWA.

Ok, #1 typing in all caps is yelling, please try not to.
It would have way cheaper and quicker to have purchased the tractor with diff lock. Then added the hydraulics from a common as dirt donor tractor.
Without diff lock I could not have ploughed or ripped my clay fields with 2WD.
The JD parts section of the Deere web site lists all the parts.
Off hand I would deal the turkey for another tractor with diff lock. Sometimes a 40,50 or 55 utility tractor with 4WD can be found.
