JD 2030 Transmission Fluid Sending Unit

Plowery · Aug 15, 2017

I have no idea what to call this thing or even if it exists. I am thinking the transmission on a John Deere 2030 should have a sending unit to either see the temperature of the hydraulic oil or the level in the housing. Problem is I can't find it or where it should be mounted. Any ideas?
This tractor has no gauges. I am trying to add them. Seems the indicator lights are obsolete now. I am looking for an alternative to those also. Thinking about making a guage bar and mount all the gauges on it. Feedback always welcome. Thanks

Trans. should have a dipstick by your right foot heel as you sit in the seat. I think you check it with it resting on the threads not too long after you shut the tractor off.

MikeM is right. Good idea on the gauges, the lights on my 2120 are difficult to see at the best of time. Ben

There is no transmission temperature light,or pressure lite/gauge...

Mike,

You are correct. There is a level indicator on the dipstick (about 3 - 4" long).

2130 (Canadian) has a pressure sender threaded into the end of the filter bypass cartridge. If you really wanted to I think you could make this work on your 2030

It is checked on top of the threads with the engine idling. Same for all JD utility tractors with the dipstick in this location.
