    Transmission versus Live PTO

    Larry - I plead mea culpa 🤓. Thank you for the education. So a 540/1000 PTO has 2-speed gearing? That?s more a rhetorical question. Since retiring I?ve learned a lot about tractors, but obviously have a long way to go. My old HOA neighbors don?t know what they are missing. Rich...

    Hydraulic Down AND Up for 3pt Pros Cons

    Thank you, Matt. Switching to hydraulics is to combat the bouncing you mention - and hopefully allow me to get this job done quicker. Your comment about going slow is spot on! Rich Maple Valley, WA

    Hydraulic Down AND Up for 3pt Pros Cons

    The main reason for me to upgrade to a larger tractor (Ford 3000) from my Kubota BX is the power and weight to maintain 1/2 mile long gravel road (plus more for neighbors). For the past 3 years I have been doing so with a 4' box blade and 7' iron H-beam - both mounted on 3pt quickhitches...

    Transmission versus Live PTO

    I played around with the tractor a bit today and learned the PTO turns at a steady 540 rpm, so even though it is driven directly from the transmission, its speed is governed somehow. There is a lever to turn the PTO on and off. If it is on, the clutch will allow the PTO to coast to a stop (not...

    Transmission versus Live PTO

    Would someone explain to me the difference between a transmission drive PTO and a live PTO. Does the PTO stop when the tractor stops in a transmission drive. And keeps running in a Live PTO setup? If that is true, what RPM does the PTO run in a transmission drive setup? I'm guessing from...

    67 3000 Utility Transmission Code G

    Sean, thank you for digging this up. It actually makes me happy. I thought having an 8 speed tractor would be cool, but I've yet to take it out on the highway, so going faster is of little concern. What I do often though is shuttle back and forth with the FEL and having reverse straight back...

    67 3000 Utility Transmission Code G

    Thank you for this explanation. I guess this is a bit disappointing but probably of little actual consequence while using the tractor. I'm trying to understand what "manual reversing" means. Isn't this what all clutch operated transmissions have?

    67 3000 Utility Transmission Code G

    My serial number indicates a 1967 Utility 3000, gas with 540 single clutch PTO and a transmission code of "G". The code sheet I have does not have a "G" on it. Can anyone advise what transmission this is? Thank you! Rich Maple Valley, WA

    Ford 3 cyl 3000 SOS

    John (Tequila), I really appreciate you asking this question. There is no way I would not pay you for your time and effort on my behalf. The Industrial 3000 tractor I was able to secure is, visually, complete and in very good condition. I was told the intake exhaust pipe broke off, water got...

    What Transmission Would you prefer in a 3000?

    Thank you to everyone that replied. I'm curious to try an SOS, but leery of the rebuild costs. If I can buy John's reasonably, I'll go that route. But in the meantime, I have been looking for another tractor to get a manual (4x2) from. There is one in Oregon with a blown motor that looks...

    What Transmission Would you prefer in a 3000?

    John; please contact me. I'd love to talk to you about purchasing both SOS transmissions. A trip to Utah is definitely a possibility :-) Richard

    What Transmission Would you prefer in a 3000?

    Perhaps I should have included that it is a 3 cyl gas engine.

    What Transmission Would you prefer in a 3000?

    I just bought a 1968 3000 with quick release FEL and Select-O-Speed transmission. Everything seems to be as the owner said it is, which includes a running engine and busted SOS. Years ago when the tractor would not move, someone removed the top tranny cover and walked away. Seems it's been...
