[AT] Talk of FB groups

[John Hall]

I'm in several FB groups. Pretty much I stay out of generic FB stuff. 
Most of my groups are old tractors, older farming practices/equipment, 
machine shop related stuff (my profession), and UNC basketball (I've 
lived in the middle of Tobacco Road my whole life). You have to kind of 
test drive the groups to see what the knowledge is.

  Typically the narrower the group focus, the more detailed info you can 
get. There is a Farmall group that is lacking in a lot places, but I've 
yet to find a Farmall M group worth being in. That said, There is a 
Farmall A and Super A group (Al Jones) that is excellent. Likewise there 
is one for Farmall Cubs that is very good.

i would think there is a 30/40 series group that would suit the needs of 
a 2640 owner. As you approach the more modern stuff that covers a wide 
range of sizes, you will have to be diligent as to who/what you trust. 
I've found there are quite a few older Deere mechanics on FB and those 
guys are generally pretty helpful. Again, its social media so you may 
have to sift through some horse apples.
