    Ford 2600 Electrical saga

    OK I have most of wiring figured out on 2600 diesel (been converted to one wire , external reg alternator) with new inst. cluster. Cluster has fuel and temp guages, oil pressure, air flow, and alternator lights. When I turn switch on, fuel guage moves up to about 1/2 tank(should be about 1/4...

    Unstyled B

    Kinda - sorta starting search for unstyled B to "restore/make dependable for use" cultivating corn. What items would be "run away fast" or "that's bad but not a deal breaker"? Don't want to buy a good looking tractor and have to spend a fortune to get a new block and rebuild, etc. I am not...

    Ford 3000 Gas Shutting Down

    Ditto what Red Belly said. Had a 600 that did the same thing. Turned out, new fuel line had been installed touching or real close to exhaust manifold causing vapor lock. Routed away from manifold and no more problems.

    3000 PTO

    I had one that did the same thing. Turned out that the lever from shift arm was bent just enough to let ball slip out of detent. Could hardly tell it by looking. Bought a new one and it fixed the problem.

    960 runs real bad?

    Had a 640 that acted like that a few years back. The man I bought it from had rebuilt the engine and ran a new gas line to carb. The line was against the exhaust manifold. After a lot of aggravation, I re-routed the fuel line and she ran like a top from then on. Vapor lock I guess.

    2600 Electrical

    Got a new ign switch today. Someone had install a generic switch that had terminals marked "bat", "st", "run", "acc". Pretty self explanatory. New switch however, only has terminals marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Does anyone know what terminal goes where on this after market switch? I just need the...
