Built for Real Farm Work
The Ford New Holland 40 series represents a comprehensive range of versatile agricultural tractors designed for diverse farming operations during the 1990s era. The 5640 model provides reliable mid-range power for mixed farming applications, while the 6640 delivers enhanced performance for larger operations. The 7740 and 7840 tractors offer robust capabilities for intensive crop cultivation and heavy field work, with the 8240 and 8340 models providing maximum power for demanding agricultural operations including heavy tillage, large-scale planting, and high-capacity harvesting. Whether you’re shifting constantly during loader work or making countless gear changes during fieldwork, this boot keeps your cab environment sealed and quiet.
Made to Last
Gear lever boots take serious abuse – constantly flexing with every shift, exposed to sun through the cab glass, and dealing with accidental kicks and catches. This replacement uses quality rubber compounds that stay flexible in cold weather without becoming sticky in heat. The accordion-style design allows full gear lever movement without binding or tearing at the stress points that killed your original boot. The precision-molded console adds extra durability and maintains that professional look your tractor deserves.
Installation Notes
Installing a gear lever boot is one of those 20-minute jobs that pays dividends every day after. First, clean the mounting area thoroughly – years of dirt and grease prevent proper sealing. Remove any remnants of the old boot, including hardened rubber that might be stuck to mounting surfaces. The boot typically secures with a metal or plastic retaining ring at the bottom and clamps around the lever at the top. Apply a thin layer of rubber lubricant to ease installation and prevent tearing. Make sure the boot isn’t twisted when installed – it should sit naturally without stress. The plastic console portion typically bolts or clips in place around the boot for a finished appearance.
