    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    I finally have my carburetor rebuilt. The engine is running again - but it is NOT ok as it is. What is weird is that the throttle position does not seem to matter - that is my biggest indication that something is wrong. When I first started it, the engine only ran with the choke...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    Stores 'close enough' to me are Autozone, Advanced-Auto, Napa, Pep-Boys, and Fisher - but it never occurred to me to check with any of them - prior to this conversation. I am already checking their on-line inventories, I had the most hope for Napa, but so far, I am either doing my search...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    It is available. I however, do not have an o'Reilly near me and as of yet, I have not found a way to put this item in a 'shopping cart' without first selecting a physical location. This suggests to me they are a 'store pickup' model as opposed to shipping direct to the consumer. I have not...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    I never even thought to search O'Reilly's for the carb rebuild kit; I wrongly assumed they were strictly an auto-parts store. Thank you for helping me to narrow down what I am looking for - I found the kit you indicated. This might be my best option. You know that once I have the puzzle...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    Thank you for your suggestion to check the upright. I'll look around for some other place where the carb model might be found, but there is a broken metal tag on the carb, which is why I did not continue to look for another tag. TSX-662 - sounds reasonable to me! Thank you. The carb is...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    I just noticed that I misspelled the manufacturers name of the carb EVERY SINGLE TIME I typed it. I appreciate that nobody poked me in the eye for that. This issue still exists for me. I have the carb off of the tractor now. It appears that my carb is a TSX-something. I found a website...

    4000 4cyl marvel-schrebel

    My 4cyl Ford 4000 started running rough. I shut it down and left it. Fast Forward a few months (to yesterday), it restarted once, I left it to warm up, it ran for about 3 minutes then quit. It sounded a couple times like it wanted to turn over again, but it never did. It had a tune-up, about a...

    Convert a loader bucket to forks

    A lot of sage advice here, thank you! I found a device that claims to be designed for my loader frame. It still requires some welding but it comes with what is needed for a welder to complete the work. It is far from inexpensive, but it could be worse, I suppose...

    Convert a loader bucket to forks

    Thank you for the proper description of forklift carriage. I checked out some images to get a better idea I agree with the assessment of the project. It makes more sense to go with a fork lift carriage for this project. I see the point of having a skid-steer attachment and it would add a...

    Convert a loader bucket to forks

    Good morning. Thank you for replying. The tractor is ford 4000, 4cyl. The loader has no markings or manufacturer tags on it, but ever indication I have points to it being a Ford 720. The bucket is held on with pins, no quick connect system. Swapping the bucket for forks will be a PITA...

    Convert a loader bucket to forks

    If I can find a rusted out no good bucket that will fit my loader, I am thinking it should be possible to convert what is left of the bucket into a frame for a set of forks. There are forks that can be to attached to a bucket, but I just dont like them. I they project too far out in front of...

    64 Ford 4000 overheated and blew rad cap off

    In my latest replay, which was something like 7 months ago, I said that the bolster was in good repair and that the bolts were secure. Well, it turns out that was not entirely correct. I had long suspected that the repair would go way beyond my ability and skill, so I started looking for...

    64 Ford 4000 overheated and blew rad cap off

    Hi sotxbill, Thank you for your reply. The bolster is in good repair; not damaged and the bolts are all secured well. I have never hit the front of the tractor into anything - without the bucket down. I don't see any indication of damage to suggest that previous owners have hit the...

    64 Ford 4000 overheated and blew rad cap off

    Hi All, This problem is not yet resolved. I let it go over the winter time; I was kind of hoping that it might have fixed itself over the winter. It did not, oh well. So, today, I was able to remove a plate that protects the hydraulic pump from damage. It looks like with this plate...
