    My 1972 Ford 2000 suddenly running lean

    Okay, I'll check that next weekend. Until school is out, I only get to my acreage on weekends. I wanted to post and get as much input as possible before I go down. That would be an easy fix. It also makes sense that something could go awry there in a short time. As I just bought the tractor last...

    My 1972 Ford 2000 suddenly running lean

    Up until this past weekend, my Ford 2000 has run great. Now it suddenly runs lean at times. It will run perfectly, then suddenly drop off and sputter. The only way I can get it to run without sputtering is with the choke out. It runs okay then, but obviously loses some power. I was able to...

    Ford 2000 vs 3000

    Sorry, I should have said this is a gas engine. I just bought a 1972 Ford 2000, which appears to be nearly the same as the 3000 except for the badge and the HP numbers. If I can rejet the carb on the 2000 to gain some power, I may do that. The 2000 may be all I need though, so I'll cross that...

    Ford 2000 vs 3000

    I'm just trying to figure out how Ford gets 9 more hp out of the same engine? They have the same bore/stroke, compression ratio, etc. What is done to make the additional horsepower? The 2000 is rated for 2000 rpm and the 3000 for 2100, which wouldn't seem to account for that much more ponies.
