    Stuck Intake Valves

    Stuck Intake Valves

    I would like to add that if I turn the engine over, the valves stick open. After 10 - 15 minutes they will close on their own only to stick open again when the engine is turned over. Something definitely gummed them up.

    Stuck Intake Valves

I"m not in a rush and want one that will provide years of service like the last one. I use a finish mower, brush hog, and flail from time to...

    Gents, The filter is 6 +/- years old, I don't remember the brand of fluid but it's a brand name meeting the Ford specification. A dicked up suction line coupling is possible, I wouldn't think that would change with the warmer weather but I can drain the system and replace them. just to...

    3400 FEL/BH - Noisy Hydraulics

    During the cooler weather, the hydraulic system on my 3400 vibrates and has a whine or screem type noise when powering the FEL or BH. All the actuators have the same symptoms. The pressure is also low on the direct reading system gauge when loading the hydraulic system. The noise and vibration...

    3400 Steering Box Cracked

    Gents, Was using the 3400 yesterday, heard a pop and the front wheeels were aiming opposite ways. The steering box housing split open from steering arm to steering arm. It looks like there was an existing crack that finally let go. The tractor has power steering and I would like to know if...

    3500 ford w/ backhoe

    My 3400 with a 753 hoe has a 13 gpm vane pump and puts out 2k psi all day. Controls are responsive, I guess a higher volume pump wont hurt anything, you may to feather the controls a little more often.
