Ags2140 to hds2145

[ChrMatt85]

I'm being given the old ags 2140 my dad's had for years since almost new. Trans has been driven properly it's whole life, but also has been sitting unused for the past 8 years.

My possibly unnecessary question is, is it possible to swap the 2145 hydro trans onto my 2140 if the trans goes bad? Just curious. From all my reading and research the two are basically identical but I have no idea if the mounts are or not.


A side question, I'm not overly fond of the hood on these 2000 series would it be terribly hard or dumb to swap to something more square. And at this point just use it and save for something older more square and with a hydro trans?

Question #1. They mount the same but 2140 is 6 speed, gear drive. 2145 is hydrostatic. You've got gear selection controls on one, not the other. Swapping would be possible but more work than it's worth. Hydro transmission would probably go bad before the gear transmission anyway.

Question #2. I can't think of any bolt on hoods that would match, but anything is possible if you have the skills, time, and money.

Thank you very much. Good to know. I'll just keep using the ags trans.

Yes I didn't figure anything might be bolt on.
I haven't seen anyone from my searches do anything to these 2000 series. From what I gather they probably arnt to much worth doing anything too.

I have a 2185 i really like.
But yes the best use for most 2000 series tractors is engine swaps.
Because they can be picked up cheap and have 13-25hp horizontal shaft engines that can be repurposed for lots of other things.
