    TO-35 Voltage Regulator

    Hello everyone, hope you are having a better week than me! I burnt up my voltage regulator and some of the smaller wires going to the amp meter and key switch. I think the battery may have shifted and shorted out. I have replaced the regulator and replaced all the wiring. Can some please upload...

    Ford 3000 - governor/carb issue

    In case anyone comes across this in the future. I made a line to bypass the pump. I think it was 3/8" compression on the shutoff valve, and 3/8" flare at the sediment filter. Anyway, it seemed to allow the tractor to run somewhat better. I then put all the fuel lines back and replaced the lift...

    Ford 3000 - governor/carb issue

    I will do the fuel test and report back. It may be this weekend before I can take it apart and try it, but I have a feeling that it could be the issue.

    Ford 3000 - governor/carb issue

    1. I believe this has always been an issue. With the old carb, the tractor would die on me frequently, has less power than it should have (probably from the governor situation), and I had to drain the bowl to get it to start so I could limp home. It was also hard starting. With the new carb, old...

    Ford 3000 - governor/carb issue

    I have a '68 Ford 3000 gas that now has a Zenith clone chinesium carb. It had a Holley that the float/needle stopped working right, and some recommended replacing rather than rebuilding. The issue now, and I think was still a problem back then, is that when the governor needs to pick up the...

    Ford 3000 Hydraulic question

    Thanks. I assume you mean I can only operate the lift or the bucket, so the rear hydraulic will still work? In other words, I can have a blade on the back, lifted up, and still use the end loader? Is there a part(s) I can install to allow for simultaneous use of the lift and bucket? Even if...

    Ford 3000 Hydraulic question

    I have a '68 Ford 3000 (gas) and I am wanting to hook up a Fasco 1200 loader, as others have done on some other threads. I am trying to figure out what the controls are for in the attached picture, so I can can figure out what I need to do to run the loader. I want to be able to operate my rear...

    Hydraulic Fluid Level

    To answer my own question, I think, the tractor takes 6.6 IMPERIAL GALLONS. So that is about 8 US gallons. Looks like I just need to add some more.

    Hydraulic Fluid Level

    I have a '55 TO-35, which I recently drained (both plugs) and refilled. The manual says it takes 6.6 gallons. I have put 6.75 gallons in, and it is only 1/4" on the dipstick, 3/4" or so below the fill line. When I was cleaning the bottom out, I found an old dipstick laying beside the pump. I am...

    Need help determining what year my TO-35 is

    Yes, I came across this, which led me to think it was a '58. But then I found another site talking about the casting codes, which I think are '55. Maybe someone replaced the metal and seat???

    Need help determining what year my TO-35 is

    Hi, new to the site...I have a TO-35 that seems to be comprised of different year tractor parts. The SN on the dash is SDM183xxx (I believe is a diesel number) but it is a gas engine. The casting codes (if I am reading them right) seem to be 1955, but the paint and badging is more like 1958. It...
