    Bush Hog 306 Price

    Hello, I searched for similar, posts but was hoping for something a little more direct. I have a bush hog 306, 72 deck. I only have 2 acres and its mostly lawn, so I dont really have any use for it. I negotiated it as part of the tractor sale, so I dont really have anything into it. It...

    1963 Ford 4000 Restoration

    That looks fantastic! And thank you for the reference of Dennis Carpenter. Point taken on the humidity, etc. Unfortunately I don't have to space to shelter it, so it sits exposed to the elements. That just compounds the issues. I tried attaching a picture of her as she sits. There are some...

    1963 Ford 4000 Restoration

    Hey Everybody, Hoping to get some help with fixing up my 1963 Ford 4000 light industrial. Bought it a little over a year ago for $3600. Unit has a FEL and came with a 60" bushhog so I figured the price was right. It's also a diesel FWIW. Was so excited to own my first tractor, I...

    PTO Rotation Direction

    I remember trying that when I just got the tractor, because that's just how the reverse on my car works. I just tried it again with now luck. I can pull the stick up, and feel the spring in that case, but I'm not able to push it down. Maybe it is locked up?

    PTO Rotation Direction

    Ah I see what's going on now.I have the shift diagram from the manual, but can't find reverse on the main transmission. From what I've read, that's not uncommon on these tractors with a FEL and Sherman reversing auxiliary transmission.

    3D19 on the engine block. Does this mean the block was cast april, 1963? If so, is it reasonable to assume this is a 1963 model and not '64. I can't say this enough, but thank you for all of the support.im just a first time tractor owner trying to muddle my way through this. AG

    PTO Rotation Direction

    Hi All, I've got a '63 or '64 ford 4000, model 41301-S-D. The sherman auxiliary transmission is one of those switching jobs, 4 sp fwd, 4 sp rev, because I've read that was common for FEL configurations. My question, does the PTO change rotation direction based on fwd vs. rev? Doesnt seem...

    196X Ford YYYY

    Excellent. So either a '63 or '64. Would any other parts be marked to determine which year? I presume it probably doesn't make a big difference because of the similarities, but it'd be nice to know. This unit has 4 speeds and a lever with forward, neutral, and reverse. So 4 forward, and...

    196X Ford YYYY

    I think I can make out a 4 stamped ahead of the rest. The SN looks like a gone'r. Is there anywhere else I can pull a SN to get a good estimation for the year? Maybe a casting code on the block? Thanks for all your help!

    196X Ford YYYY

    Hey yall, I know this is a common topic, but I'm needing a little help identifying what I've got here. I bought this tractor earlier in the year and was told it was a 1964 Ford 4000. Based on the problems I've had with spare parts, I'm a little skeptical. I believe I can make 1301-S D on the...

    Sure enough! It was stuck. I don't see too much damage on the valve. I guess I'll lube it up, replace the seals and fluid, and try it out. Any other recommendations while I've got it taken apart? AG
