    U-Haul hauling a tractor

    Ok. This is how I used a u-haul trailer to haul a Ford 50 hp tractor and a bush hog cutter and a bush hog finishing mower about 250 miles. 1. I told them I was hauling a Ford 500 AWD. If you say a 2WD car, they will hassle you about the using just a trolley thing, as if it was their business at...

    old ford tractor restorers

    Well, the old timers who know are dying off and the young ones don't know how because they only know a smartphone and an xbox, and then there is you and me. Needed my 3600 split to replace a $1 freeze plug- nobody knew anything, wouldn't call back, ect. I had to split and fix it myself and as...

    New to me Ford 5000

    Ford 5000? I'm jelly. I do not have a 5000, but I was the crew on a trawler with Ford Lehman's with Sims injection and I did check the injection levels daily. I would look into the fuel tank and flush any sediment out and replace the fuel filter(s). Check the wiring for breaks and rubbing that...

    The Big and The Small of Things

    I never worked at Ford, but I worked at three other auto manufactures and these companies have a bad quarter or two and decide they need to simplify operations. How do you build a business on a product that can easily last two or three generations? Henry Ford was a farm kid, like Porsche, and...

    3000 PTO Clutch Adjustment or Problem

    hmm. Well, if the 8 speed in the 3000 is similar to the 3600, then the only thing to slowly degrade is the PTO clutch plate. Why does this happen when you had it recently split? Well if the seals between the long skinny shaft that makes the wheels go and the short fat shaft that makes the PTO go...

    Ford 3600 cooling

    Thank you for the info. I want to change the 43 year old clamps so I will learn if the tractor even has a thermostat installed.

    Putting split back together

    I blocked the front because the balance on that end seems like I'd knock it over. On a 3600 there isn't a good lift point on the front, it baffling. I made a fixture hold her up without resting on the oil pan but the oil pan flange, It rested on a scissor jack. I move the back end using the...

    Ford 3600 cooling

    I have a 3600 diesel. I replaced a freeze plug (the one that requires a split - thanks Ford engineering) this summer and there was a lot of gunk in the block and tried to flush it but she was in two pieces in my garage so not able to really flush it. I just put water in it, ran it as needed...

    cmposite fender repair

    most plastic parts will have a marking on them from the die. Typical exterior molded parts are ABS. Saturn molded the whole body out of it.

    Clear coat

    et the same system as your paint[/b] or make a call, so you can be sure of the compatibility. Modern clearcoats are available as water(ammonia) and oil based products so you want to get some help from a pro if you don't know to use.

    After Electrolysis

    I use electrolysis (immersion in washing soda solution and electric DC current) and my secret ingredient in addition to PhUP is plumbing lye like red devil. Lye remove stubborn paint and oil/grease with no impact on the metal. Pressure washing removes almost all residual paint that still on the...

    removing paint from tractor hood

    For sheet metal and small parts, I take a 55 gal plastic drum and cut the side so a 16" wide rim will fit in there. Then I take some heavy scrap metal like mower blades and brake rotors and weld them to the fit inside the drum and some is sticking up out of one side. I fill it up with water and...
