    Florida Solar panels questions

    I am in Michigan, have had a system for about 8 months now, and it was totally worth doing. There are some caveats though. In my opinion it is only worth doing if you can do it yourself. The quotes from solar companies for my system ranged from 45-68k. I did it myself for 11k. And I own it...

    Transporting a 3000 trans and rear end

    I didn’t think I would learn so much from this thread.

    Ford 4000 steering cylinder

    You should just need a pick, seal puller, or a slide hammer and screw to get the ram seal out. The rod doesn’t come out unless you cut the welds.

    Ford 4000 steering cylinder

    I bought one of those seal kits for my 3500. The parts were mostly garbage quality, it lasted about 2 minutes before blowing out. I went online to Hercules sealing products and ordered part U18-0.87-31BHT. It is a high quality high pressure hydraulic seal. I believe I reused the rest of my old...

    Transporting a 3000 trans and rear end

    I bought a rear end/transmission/axles for a 3000. I didn’t want to haul a trailer the distance to get them. The rear axle is too wide to fit between the insides of the bed, so I made a little cribbing to hold the trans off the bed rail. It fits in this way pretty nicely.

    3500 rear end problem

    Well I pulled the top cover. The gear looks ok. The input bearing at first looked rusty, but actually it feels like old hardened grease. I found a crack that has been poorly welded. And I found another poorly welded crack in the bottom of the housing that leaks fluid. At this point I may just...

    3500 rear end problem

    Can I pull the axle/trumpet as a unit, or do I need to take the brakes off,axle out, etc first?

    3500 rear end problem

    I bought a 3500 TLB and have started doing the maintenance that had been neglected for years. I emptied the rear axle fluid, but almost no fluid came out, only a gallon of water. I looked in the fill hole and see what appears to be a tapered roller bearing cage. I tried to pull it out with...

    Points for a 3500

    Is there a quality set of points available for a 3500 industrial? I believe it is the same engine as the 3000. I don't mind paying more for a quality brand that can actually open up for the correct gap and the contacts are aligned nicely.

    3 pt still drifts down after repair?

    I know what you mean by “new parts” the safety relief was a pain since it was an 18mm instead of 11/16”, I of course didn’t have a 18mm stubby wrench. There was another “new” part that I bought that was also drilled incorrectly, and the O-ring for the piston (that came in the piston/cylinder...
