    Voltage regulator question

    I need to replace the voltage regulator on my Ford 881 tractor (6 volt, positive ground). From what I've read on this website, the 6v generator max output is 20 amps. I am considering buying a VR with specs of 26-32 amp, dual polarity, B-circuit. Will this regulator work on my tractor, or...

    IH/Case #10 grain drill fertilizer box

    I am working on cleaning up an IH grain drill #10 that has accumulated some corrosion from mice taking residence in the fertilizer box and from sitting for several years. The "feed wheels", as they are called in the manual, supposedly can be removed and shutoff covers installed to block...

    Baling twine left on field

    I have a guy cut hay on our property and he gives us a receipt for hay sale that we add to income for farmland tax uses. I find a lot of poly twine bits all over the field when he is done baling. He did round bales this year, though he has done square bales in the past. I don't like having...

    801 runs rough when timed

    Hi, I've been struggling with my 881 gas (6volt) in trying to get run smoothly and hoping someone here has suggestions. It didn't want to start a week ago after having sat for a couple months. It had started to run a little rough and harder to start when last used it. -- Replaced points...

    Spader use

    Anyone with experience using a spader? I am interested in possibly buying a pto-powered spader, such as the Y70 machine made by Celli. My soil has some fairly large rocks hidden here and there so I am wondering how well a spader would hold up to hitting rocks. I've used rototillers and when...

    Distributor condenser bad?

    I've been spending a lot of time trying to diagnose multiple issues with a 1963 Ford 4000 (gas) tractor that I got recently at an auction. Without going into all the details, I've replaced the points and condenser, adjusted valves, rebuilt the carb, adjusted timing using timing light, and...

    Rototiller tines

    I have a Caroni FLB1700 rototiller, which is a 5 foot pto driven Italian-made machine. It presently has a set of C-shaped tines or blades on it. I'd like to replace them with some straighter blades for cuttiing heavy soil and sod. From what I could find out, straighter blades exist and are...

    Ford 4000 pto slippage

    I noticed the pto slipped on my 1968 Ford 4000 while rototilling. The slip clutch on the tiller itself was too tight, so the slippage occurred at the tractor pto, enough that it nearly stopped turning. There were some spots where I got into some heavy sod and clay soil. But I'm also tilling...

    Ford 4000 engine problem

    So I've posted recently about my 1963 Ford 4000 select-o-speed tractor regarding running rough. I am at a loss as to what may be going on. Now I can't even start it. When it was running, it would run rough, especially after warming up. I adjusted valves which helped with compression, which...

    Are these pto splines in good shape?

    Hi, I am looking at a used pto shaft and the seller claims it is in great condition. From this picture, would you agree? I'm not sure if that shoulder where the splines start (towards the center of the shaft) indicates how high the splines were when new. Or, if that is just the way they are...

    Ford 4000 engine rough

    Hi, I recently bought a 4-cylinder gas Ford 4000 at auction. It is a select-o-speed and has 6volt system. It looks good, but had been sitting in storage indoors for years. The fuel was yellow, and engine oil was a nasty creamy caramel-colored mess, as was the oil in the air filter cup. I...

    Ford 4000 selectOspeed adjustment

    Hi, I have a shop manual for the 801 select-o-speed tractors (I have an 881). Can anyone confirm that the procedure for removal of the topcover and band adjustment is the same for the earlier 4000 sos tractor (1962-64)? I bought the 4000 at auction last weekend and am now working on...

    Will this 771 Loader fit my Ford 4000?

    I have a 1968 Ford 4000. I came across a 771 loader and wondering if it has the right brackets to attach to my 4000. I took a few pics of the hardware that were laying in the loader bucket. Can anyone tell if it has the right brackets for my tractor? From what I researched, the 771 should...

    Ford 4000 sos questions

    Hi, I am considering buying a Ford 4000 that has a select-o-speed tranny. The tractor is in good shape, but I haven't had the chance to drive it yet. It is a 4 cyl gas, no power steering. The band adjustment screws have a lot of threads visible (maybe 5) which suggest to me that either the...

    Help with 1841 starter

    Hi, I have an 1841 diesel tractor that's been sitting awhile. It has a 12 volt generator. Several years ago it just stopped turning over due to some electrical issue I couldn't solve. I replaced the solenoid back then with no effect. I originally got this just as a donor engine for another...

    8N doesn't turnover

    Hi, I have an 8N (side mounted distributor) that is not starting. It is a 12 volt conversion. The starter doesn't make a sound when pressing the starter button even using a newly charged battery. Prior to this, it always ran fine and would start right away even after sitting for months (in...

    Ford 4000 power steering pump versions help

    Hi, I want to replace the power steering pump on my 1968 Ford 4000 (tractor model 41024C), but am confused with the different versions of the pump I see for sale. My old pump has a separate reservoir. After looking it up on the New Holland parts website, they list two possible pumps...

    Question attaching One Arm Loader

    Hi, I am finally getting around to attaching a 1-arm loader to my 861 tractor. But I can't seem to get it to fit right. I can get the front pin of the loader into the hole in the front foot plate, but I can't get the loader to attach fully to the side bracket. It is as if I need to move the...
