    640 hydraulic vane pump

    Hello. I'm working to restore some TLC to a 640 I acquired. One of the issues involves the hydraulic system. It operates smoothly and it will lift a 750 pound implement without trouble. However, while lifting, the pump makes a groaning like sound. When I got the tractor the fluid was milky...

    640 Clutch

    I was recently helped by a number of you with clutch issues on a 640. Thank you. I have since put in a new kit with pilot bearing, clutch, pressure plate and release bearing. The issue I am having is that the release bearing does not come forward far enough to reach the fingers on the...

    Thank you, Showcrop, good information. In the past I have moved the front end, and many people do. I'm curious as to why you move rear end. Forgot about wedges for front axle, thank you.

    Opinion and ideas

    Sorry Sean. Yes, I was wrong about the manifold being a part of the engine casting. You are right about being a separate part. The pictures don't show well what appears to be a sealant of some sort at the joint. I'm stuck as to how to put more force. Thanks for your reply.

    Opinion and ideas

    I am in the process of splitting my 640 between the engine and transmission. It is separated all around the joint except at the hydraulic pump manifold site. The manifold is part of the engine casting and is bolted to the transmission casting at that site. I have removed the bolts, but it is...

    Shell Rotella vs other brands

    Maybe it is a regional thing. Walmart, TSC and others in my area have it on their website but listed as not available at stores in my area. I'm in southern middle Michigan. Thank you, everyone for your input.

    Shell Rotella vs other brands

    Is there a difference between Shell Rotella and other brands of 15w40 diesel motor oil? The Rotella is becoming hard to find in my area.

    640 Clutch

    Thanks, ZehnX. I have tried adjusting the petal and am at the end of the bolt. Maybe I need to revisit that and make sure I am adjusting in the correct direction.

    640 Clutch

    I have recently added to my classic ford group a 640. The clutch will just barely disengage with the pedal all the way down. And when raising it only a couple of inches the clutch is fully engaged. So I believe I am in need of a new clutch. This will be a new venture for me, so is there...

    NAA shifter lever

    Thank you Royse. You are right about the cast iron and the condensation effects. There were other reasons for not buying the tractors I looked at, but it was curious that a couple of them had that condition. Something I had not encountered before. Not looking for a project tractor...

    NAA shifter lever

    I have been looking at some NAA's and 600 series tractors. On a couple of them I had to really push hard to move the pto shifter lever to either engage or disengage. I have a Jubilee, an 8N and a 2N. On those the lever moves easily. Does anyone know what kind of issue would cause that them to...
