    Worried about sounds behind oil pan

    Thanks Tom, excellent resource. It is a 64 2000. Some folks call it a Prior 2000 or a 1st Gen 2000, as there were some significant changes in the 65-75 2000. Attempting to post a photo below. [/img:cbac8d2a95]

    Worried about sounds behind oil pan

    I'm no expert. My dad gave me this old tractor. When I researched the serial number/frame ID this was the last year of the old 8N style tractor. My dad actually thought is was a jubilee when he bought it. Ford apparently, in an effort to match competitors modern features made some mostly...

    Worried about sounds behind oil pan

    Took the 8N (it's a 64 2000, but really just the phase out of the 8N, not the real 2000) out this morning and we were dragging a leaf rake, not much work at all, and was hearing an intermittent scraping sound coming from bottom of tractor. Somewhere between me and the oil pan. It would come and...

Somewhere between me and the oil pan. It would come and go randomly, that is not due to a load, but only happened when tractor was...

    64 Ford 2000 Intermittent White Smoke and Pop from Exhaust

    My tractor starts/runs fine. Today it started every minute or so it will emit a puff of white smoke out of the exhaust and a light single pop. Good temp, oil pressure, otherwise no smoke out of the exhaust. What do you guys think?

    Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Straightening

    To close this one out fellas. I found a chopper shop that got my two rods to 3 thou for $50/each. Much better than $800 for each cylinder. I've put one back together and works like a champ.

    Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Straightening

    A bit off topic, I managed to bend two hydraulic cylinder rods and the manufacturer wants an 2 arms for them. A fella on the interweb says he can straighten them to the 7 thou tolerence, and I found a shop that says he can do it. Anybody had any success with doing that?

    Install new bumper, can't get the old bolts out

    Realized a prior owner just cut the bolts off flush front and back and they will not drive out with a punch and sledge. I don't want to mess with trying to drill them out, so plan is to heat up the axle around the bolt with a torch to break the rust to see if I can free them up. I also loosened...
