    Float stuck cylinders were full of fuel

    Hi: Last weekend we shut off our 851 and let it sit overnight.

    Ford 4000 Lift arm operation

    Yes, I have rippers. I have tried to adjust the top link both ways as far as I could hoping to get the blade to dig in. What happens is that the weeds fold over and the scraper starts to ride up over them. I have not had this problem before. We had more rain than usual this year so the weeds...

    Ford 4000 Lift arm operation

    Hello All: I have a Ford 4000. I was recently trying to remove some weeds with the box scraper attachment. It seems like the arms had no down force and when the weeds got thick it would just lift up a few inches and glide over. I haven't noticed this in previous years while removing weeds. I...
