The current owner reports being only the second owner and says the tractor was restored in 2018.

The seller reports that the diesel engine sounds strong and tight, starts easily even in cold weather, and currently has no known fluid leaks. Power steering is also reported to work well.

With the asking price now lowered by $1,650, the seller is ready to sell and remains open to reasonable offers.

John Deere 2440 Utility Tractor with Front Loader

The John Deere 2440 was produced as a utility tractor during the late 1970s and early 1980s and remains a recognizable Deere platform for buyers who value straightforward mechanical equipment.

Published specifications for the 2440 commonly list a 3.6-liter, four-cylinder John Deere diesel engine with approximately 60.65 PTO horsepower. That places the tractor in a useful horsepower range for property maintenance, livestock chores, loader work, mowing, grading, hay-related tasks, and compatible three-point implements.

This particular tractor adds the versatility of a front-end loader and several seller-reported hydraulic upgrades.

For a buyer who wants an older Deere that can still perform practical work while presenting better than many tractors of the same era, this 2440 deserves consideration.

86-Inch Loader Bucket & Skid-Steer-Style Attachment

One of the strongest features of this tractor is its loader configuration.

The front loader includes a large 86-inch bucket and what the seller describes as a skid-steer-style bucket attachment system.

That attachment arrangement may provide considerably more flexibility than a traditional permanently pinned bucket, depending on the exact coupler dimensions and compatible attachments.

The loader can make the tractor useful for jobs such as:

• Moving dirt and gravel
• Cleaning livestock areas
• Handling mulch and landscaping material
• Moving snow
• Carrying firewood
• Moving feed and loose material
• General property cleanup
• Farm and acreage maintenance

The seller reports that considerable work has already been completed on the loader and its hydraulic system.

Rebuilt Loader Cylinders, New Hydraulic Lines & Joystick Controls

According to the seller, the loader cylinders have been rebuilt, hydraulic lines have been replaced, and new joystick loader controls have been installed.

These are meaningful upgrades on an older loader tractor because the hydraulic system and loader controls directly affect day-to-day usability.

The tractor also retains one rear hydraulic remote, adding additional capability for compatible hydraulic implements.

The right side of the loader boom has previously been repaired. That repair is being disclosed clearly so prospective buyers can evaluate it during an inspection.

Serious buyers should inspect the repaired area and determine that it is suitable for their intended application.

Seller-Reported Restoration in 2018

The owner reports that the tractor was restored in 2018 and describes it as being in beautiful condition.

Rather than being marketed strictly as a collector tractor, however, this 2440 still carries a useful working configuration with its loader, three-point hitch, rear hydraulic remote, power steering, and ballasted rear tires.

That combination may appeal to someone wanting a classic John Deere that presents well but can still perform chores around a farm, acreage, livestock property, or rural operation.

Approximately 6,500 Original Hours

An important part of this tractor's history is the instrument-cluster replacement.

The original instrument cluster reportedly showed approximately 6,500 hours before it was replaced.

The replacement meter currently shows fewer than five hours, but that reading should not be interpreted as the tractor's total operating time.

The approximately 6,500-hour figure represents the seller-reported original operating history before replacement of the instrument cluster.

This distinction is being disclosed clearly for prospective buyers.

Diesel Engine Reportedly Starts Well Cold

The seller reports that the John Deere diesel engine starts easily even in cold weather and describes the engine as sounding strong and tight.

The seller also reports no known fluid leaks at this time.

Published information for the John Deere 2440 lists a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter four-cylinder diesel engine and approximately 60.65 PTO horsepower.

For many buyers, that combination provides enough power for useful farm and property tasks without moving into the size and complexity of a much larger row-crop tractor.

Transmission with Seller-Reported Hi/Lo

The seller describes the tractor as having eight forward gear selections with a High/Low shift located on the steering column.

John Deere offered the 2440 with multiple transmission configurations during its production run, including an eight-speed collar-shift transmission and a Hi-Lo two-speed power-shift arrangement.

Because the exact transmission configuration has not yet been confirmed from the tractor's serial number or additional documentation, buyers should verify the specific transmission setup during inspection.

Three-Point Hitch, PTO & Rear Hydraulic Remote

The tractor retains its original rear three-point hitch hookups and is equipped with one rear hydraulic remote.

Published model information for the John Deere 2440 commonly lists a Category I/II rear hitch and independent rear PTO capability.

Depending on the implement and exact tractor configuration, potential applications can include:

• Rotary cutters
• Rear blades
• Box blades
• Hay equipment
• Landscape equipment
• Small tillage implements
• Spreaders
• Other compatible PTO and three-point equipment

Buyers should verify PTO configuration and implement compatibility for their specific intended use.

Power Steering & Ballasted Rear Tires

Power steering is equipped and is reported by the seller to work well.

That is especially valuable on a tractor carrying a front loader, where additional front-end weight can make manual steering much more demanding.

The rear tires are also ballasted, providing additional rear counterweight and traction.

The seller reports that the rear tires currently do not leak.

Actual tractor weight will be greater than the published bare-tractor shipping weight because this machine is equipped with a loader, bucket, and rear tire ballast.

Price Reduced to $13,250 OBO

This tractor was previously offered at $14,900 OBO.

The seller has now lowered the asking price by $1,650, bringing the current price to:

$13,250 OBO

The seller is ready to sell and reasonable offers are encouraged.

For someone specifically searching for a John Deere 2440 for sale, this machine brings together several features that can be difficult to find on the same older tractor: seller-reported restoration work, loader hydraulic improvements, joystick loader controls, an 86-inch bucket, skid-steer-style attachment capability, three-point hitch, rear hydraulics, power steering, ballast, and a clearly disclosed operating-hour history.
