    75 4000su rear rim size

    Hi All! I need a little help selecting the correct rims for my tractor, chloride has rotted the rims. The tires say: 16.9 - 24 On 15 Rim 14-24 The wheels have 6 loops and the hub has 8 lugs. Would I be correct in replacing with an 24x15 wheel? Thanks!

    3000 Steering Cylinder Bending

    My 4000su (3000 front end) was doing the same thing, my problem ended up being worn keyways on the spindle shafts. With a heavy front loader on it, I never felt play in the steering, but it was there. After swapping both spindles, all is well now.

    Ford 3000 Front End

    I had the issue also on mine. Wasted a day with heating and 8' long cheater bar. I ended up having to take the front support off and chopping out the pin with a bandsaw and had to cut the pin inside of the arm lengthwise and working it out that way so I didn't mess up the threads. Hope you have...

    7710 series 2 not cranking

    I had the same problem last year, replaced the starter and solenoid only to find out that the ground wire was bad even though it looked almost new on the outside. Cut it open and found corrosion city.
