My JD2040 hydraulic filter keeps clogging up. I bought this tractor from a dealer and they had just put a new hydraulic pump on it right before I bought it. any ideas what it could be? It will go about 6 hours before the lift and the power steering starts acting up. Both sides of my brakes rattle a little bit when you mash down hard. I don't know if this is normal or not.

Sounds like brake lining stopping up that filter. I'm not familiar with the 2040, but on a 2440, there's a screen before the filter. (You NEED an owners manual and shop manual) It might be catching some of what's plugging your filter. Check for brake material. Finally, you will need to drain and flush the tranny/rear end/hydraulic system to remove all the contaminates.

I've been around some tractors that make brake noise from day one, and others that don't make the first sound. That MIGHT be an indicator, but then again.....John

The previous owner may have poured sae 90,140 or something gear oil in the hydraulic/transmission reservoir. Hard to believe but there are still people who don't,won't or can't read the service manual. The gear oil softens the wet brake and clutch lining then it crumbles off. The filter plugs rapidly doing what it should. Once the lining comes off the steel to steel contact will get more expensive in a hurry. In short, oil analysis before purchasing used equipment saves the potential new owner lots of money & time. Sorry but it's possible someone wasn't altogether honest when selling that tractor.
