If you have a sewer line that goes through the neighbors property with no established easement and it's been there for 40yrs does the neighbor have the legal right to cut off my sewer if he so pleases?

If the sewer line has existed for that length of time - then with, or without, a "legal" easement you may have gained an easement "by adverse possession." By threaening to cut you off, it may be that your neighbor may be trying to get some money from you for your easement. However, over and above that, contact your local Health Department. I seriously doubt that your neighbor can legally cut you off from sewer access. I would strongly recommend that you contact an attorney for assistance.

What if neighbor uses another access than assign easement?
They have no right to change the location of the access easement without written permission from the property owner.
Your neighbor is trying to claim easement through all the exisiting roads on your property in tne 18 years that he has owned his property he has never used them he has a r-o-w on the main road does he?
There are many reasons your neighbor might have an easement over one or more roads on your property. Once that easement has vested (he owns it), he has no particular obligation to exercise it, but must protect it from being revoked by others. However, in many cases the neighbor is completely mistaken that he has any property right in the easement at all, having once used the roads with the owner's permission, and that license was simply terminated. Question whether the neighbor would have any proof of ownership of the easement, if you were to file a lawsuit to quiet title.

If my neighbor's deed states that they have an easement on my property but my deed doesn't state any such easement is the easement legal and binding?
The only way to determine if the easement is a burden to your property is to have an attorney examine the titles to both premises to confirm the origin of the easement. If the easement is not mentioned in your deed that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That is the reason to have the title to property examined by a professional prior to purchase. A comprehensive title examination would disclose any outstanding encumbrances including easements. You should call the attorney who represented you at the time of your purchase and ask that the title examination be reviewed for evidence of the easement. You should send a copy of your neighbor's deed for reference.
Can a neighbor use the easement property that's over your boundary for personal plants?
The property still belongs to you. The easement means that you shouldn't be planting or putting anything permanent in there, as the city/town/community could come along and do what they wanted with it.
