    Ford 4000 Ind. Power Steering Leak

    I'm having a hard time finding the part number for the lower seal #28 or who would have one. YT does not specify lower shaft seal. Disreguard - I found it on ebay by size. Thanks!

    Ford 4000 Ind. Power Steering Leak

    I am wondering if the upper and lower seals are the same? If the upper seal seats in the bottom of the shaft housing - then I replaced that one with the shaft seal repair kit I used. I'm having a hard time finding the part number for the lower seal #28 or who would have one. YT does not...

    Ford 4000 Ind. Power Steering Leak

    You are correct in ALL guesses!! I apologize, It is a 1962 4 cyl gas Industrial 4000 loader w/back hoe. I did put all the plungers in correctly and will replace the two seals. and o-rings for sure. One spring was broken in half and will see if I can get one of those as well...

    Ford 4000 Ind. Power Steering Leak

    Wanted to get power steering working and replaced shaft seal repair kit and replaced lower o-ring of steering valve etc. However when I pulled valve up - of course small pistons/springs and two ball bearings fell out of valve. I put it all back what I thought was correct but it leaks heavy out...

    Ford 4000 Industrial - engine clacking got loud

    That's really good to hear about the axle clunk. I was very nervous about a major axle issue. I also need to check brakes - not stopping good at all but saw they are simple drum brakes. Another question: :D My son noticed a pretty good leak under the steering wheel and we have no power...

    Ford 4000 Industrial - engine clacking got loud

    Update: SUCCESS! So after finding a good pair of used connecting rod bolts ($16 each) (YT did not have any and Mark and Jesse were not able to find any either - Roberts ultimately came thru) we tried to put them on and found the connecting rod itself bent slightly from the pounding with just...

    Ford 4000 Industrial - engine clacking got loud

    Unfortunately, I discovered this was a previously repaired situation! I found a repaired hole in block behind starter motor for same piston that is the issue now and the crank journal is worn as well as rod bearings. I do not have the money or facilities to do an engine overhaul now, so my...

    Ford 4000 Industrial - engine clacking got loud

    Thanks Mark and Jesse - I bought this with all the money I had and now it will be a slow project to recover from. My son who just swapped out an engine and rebuilds small engines wants to know if all looks good from the bottom can the bearings and bolts be replaced without removing the engine...
