    Simms injector pump

    The rack appears to stick 3/4 of the way back because it is normally limited in its travel unless the excess fuel button is pushed. Said button is located on the fuel shutoff lever pivot point.

    Ford 6000, 6000 commander flywheels

    According to the parts catalog, the '65-up tractors had a larger torque limiter, 8" diameter versus 7.25" for the earlier models. Given that the transmission input shaft is the same for all 6000 tractor models, I highly suspect that the two versions you have are essentially interchangeable. I...

    Ford 1974 5000 engine bearings

    Thrust bearings don't "drop in", you have to lightly tap them into place.

    New Ford color?

    Not a fan of the script.

    TW5 remotes

    That is correct. Your loader has a CCLS (closed center load sensing) control valve on it that signals the tractor priority pack when it needs oil. When it doesn't, there should be little to no pressure in the system.

    TW5 remotes

    I can't see how loader operation is affecting the remote couplers if they are truly in neutral. If your remotes are never used, there's a good chance the linkage is seized up and maybe one or more valves are slightly in the engaged position. If it was me, I'd put all of the levers into the float...

    NH tb100 is it a ford?

    I agree with Sean, according to the parts book it's definitely Ford drivetrain, not Fiat/Iveco.

    Every grandson needs a Ford tractor...

    Do you think your grandsons will abide by the warning sign on the seat? The 8000s can be somewhat fragile. :)

    7710 front end loader

    Assuming you wanted to tap the flow from the point you indicated in your first post, then yes, you must use a CCLS valve. However, what many people do is source the oil from one set of remotes and use a conventional open center valve for the loader. This method is quicker, cheaper, and easier...

    7710 front end loader

    Well, you'd better clear that up misunderstanding with the vendor, because a valve for that era of JD tractor does not need to be load sense, only closed center. 1/2" hose would be the minimum, and 3/4" would be desired. Either will work, but the smaller hose will give more restriction to...

    7710 front end loader

    I've made it about as clear as I can with this modified pic of the tractor end. The 3 red circles show the 3 hoses that will go to your loader valve: 1) supply in, 2) return out, and 3) load sense. The first two hoses will be 1/2 or 3/4" diameter, and the load sense line will be 1/4', as it is a...

    7710 front end loader

    If you wish to tap pressure for your loader valve at the point you indicated in your first post, the loader valve MUST BE closed center load sensing (CCLS). If you have a conventional open center valve, it will not work, you should simply use one set of couplers for your in and out. If the...

    Head condition

    The article agreed with me: Can I reuse cylinder head bolts on any engine? No. Only bolts that are not torque‑to‑yield and show no damage can be safely reused.

    Head condition

    Not true. Head bolts on a machine that old can be reused as often as you like. They don't stretch like new ones.

    Lift arm travel

    What? The lowest position is established when the piston bottoms out in the cylinder.
