Ford 3000 sheared PTO friction plates
I have a 1974 ford 3000, 8 speed, live pto, dual clutch. I found out after removing the steering that the pto friction plate was completely sheared off from the center portion. I recently rebuilt the engine a years ago, the clutch did sit in my garage, the tractor hasn't seen any work since I... -

It does have a centrifual advance, I will find the timing marks and see where the pistons sits and where the distributor sits -

Ford 3000, very low compression
If you smell gas in the oil, then its getting pass the rings, if the oil is milky color then its a head gasket, I would suggest a leak down test, its very percise. By listening for escaping air or observing where it's coming from (through the intake or exhaust manifold, radiator, or crankcase)... -

Your right, it wouldnt matter, I followed the directions the manual says, it running good as you can see in the video, I just dont want to blow this thing up if its off a little. I have not assembled a engine from bareblock since getting my automotive degree. Its been 3 years of this tractor... -

Yes, i disassembled the whole engine completely to be bored and honed. I followed the service manual and matched the dots, I mean it runs good, really good, I will find the marks on the flywheel as i turn it over manually. Doesn't the camshaft determine the distributor? Wouldnt the engine not... -

I checked it and made sure it was on tdc and i dont see any marks, the distributor is on number 1 cylinder also. Any reason why im not finding this? I know for sure the flywheel bolts are in the right holes, because theres only one way for them -

There was no marks visable when it was running with the timing light on #1 cylinder, i got the brightest timing light i could get. There are marks though ive seen them when ive rotated the engine -

I believe this is the first rebuild this tractors been through. There was too much clearance between the piston and cylinder walls (I could physicly move them back n forth, crank bearing were wore down, metal from bearing in pans, I completely rebuilt the engine myself, stripped down to the... -

Ford 3000 timing
I just recently rebuilt my 1974 ford 3000 (gas), I have followed the manual on how on the timing sequence, but when i hook up a timing light up and look at the flywheel it doesn't show the timing marks. It is running pretty good but I want to make sure the timing is spot on before i offical... -

Ford 3000 splitting engine and transmission problem
I mean a little bit of force, I broke two bolts on that the clutch attaches to the flywheel but I will be able to build up weld and weld a nut on it. Im ordering new bearings and will use some sand paper and sand the input shaft then put a little bit of grease on it.
