Not sure all the problems. Engine runs. I am 18 hours from you. But I got kids in BC. About 4 or 5 hours away from...

    ford 3000 SOS

    Hello. Do you still have the transmissions? I have a 63 4000 sos. With tranny not working. And I don t have a mechanic in the area that has worked on these. Is the tranny the same as the 3000? Thanks quote="Tequila"](reply to post at 07:51:24 09/05/22)

    Front loader problem

    I have a Bush Hog model 2425 QT front end loader with a joy stick control. The joy stick control will raise the loader, lower the loader, and curl the bucket as it should. The problem comes when you dump the bucket. The control will dump the bucket but it is very, very slow and sometimes...

    Versatile 118

    I fixed a 850 Versatile last winter. It was fun. I ended up selling it. Looking for another winter project. A 118 would be interesting. Would be interested in finding one to buy.

    Versatile 850

    All good comments. Thanks. Yes this tractor ran an air seeder fan in a past life. And yes I need to push the lever ahead or back to start the oil flow in my loop line. I have ordered the service manual on Amazon. I hope it has a hydraulic schematic. I will make everything as per original as I...

    Versatile 850

    Hello. Any Versatile owners out there. I recently purchased an 850 series 2. It had been sitting outside unused for at least 6 years. It is running fine but I have a couple issues. Hydraulics seem to be deadheading. To prevent overheating I use a loop hose on one of the hydraulic outlets. Also...

    Proper way to do a compression test. 4cyl 4000 172

    Still working on my rebuilt diesel 172. Kinda runs on a couple cylinders. Smoke like crazy. I finally got a good compression tester. I need to know exactly how to do a compression test. I took all injectors out and rocker shaft and push rods. My bracket to hold in the tester adapter wouldn t fit...

    4020 power shift. Won t go into 8th

    Ok. Thanks guys. I got up enough nerve to take that shift box on the right hand side off for inspection. I had already determined the local wrecker had several to buy. Low and behold a roll pin had worked it s way out over the years on the lower lever. It seemed it could be binding. Replaced...

    4020 power shift. Won t go into 8th

    Thanks. Because of the cab that is on tractor I had never seen this lever by left heel. I can t move it. It is frozen. I expect it has never been moved. Unsure how hard I should try. Don t want to break something.

    4020 power shift. Won t go into 8th

    Hi guys, Just tuning up my 4020. Did compression check and it checked out just fine. New injectors got the engine purring nicely. It is hard to get it to shift into 7th. But lever bottoms in top of slot and it won t shift into 8th. New filters and checked suction screen. Screen was perfectly...
