    Ford 5000 steering cylider

    What I have: 1967 Ford 5000 with 772 Loader Trouble: The steering is hard to turn if not in motion. When wheels are off of the ground and the tractor is running they would pulse back and forth. Once out of the "neutral" position would turn all one way or the other. The book says major leak in...

    5000 Exhaust Manifold

    Hello All I'm looking for a used exhaust manifold (verticle) for a Ford 5000. The tractor is American made (with some help from the English) and I would like to keep it that way. I do not want to buy something new made over seas. If you know of anyone that can help me please respond to my...

    Update on SC restoration

    Ken Did you rebuild the engine? I have a 51 SC (currently up for sale) and was wondering how much an engine rebuild kit runs for these. I looked on this site but did not see one listed.

    ford 640 running weird

    When your tractor shuts down check your sediment bowl. If its empty then you know you have an obstruction. Also how old is your gas? I've had tractors shut down because of bad gas.

    Ford 820 Electrical

    You said the meter was hooked up wrong. Makes me wonder if the generator was polarized correctly. web.utk.edu/~tprather/.../TechTips/PolarizeGenerator.html

    4000 points

    Soundguy I have to agree with you. I get about six yrs out of my points (125hrs per/yr). At 0 degrees my 5000 starts on the first crank. I think anything that works mechanicaly will out perform electronics (my opinion). My 64 Impala had a HEI distributer in it when I bought it. I pulled it and...

    Economic Stimulus Package...Explain?

    It is YOUR tax refund. You will have to claim this next year; and you will recieve less on your return. Essentially they are letting you borrow from your 09 return. The whole thing is BS. They should try stimulating the economy by manufacturing something. Try finding a commodity that is NOT made...

    "My dad bought this tractor brand new and has had only 1 owner'. Looks like his Dad beat the snot out of it. Why is there only one cylinder for the bucket? I've never seen that; if its one cylinder they usually mount in the middle.
