    Ford 501 - 14-340

    Picked up one yesterday in very good condition to be used with a Ford 4000 Row Crop. The manuals I find online say that this application requires both the left and right stabilizers be used. Mine only has the complete left assembly with the rod and clamp. It also has the cast iron arm on the...

    I have a '64 4000 SOS Row Crop. I would be interested in a filter if they are or become available.

    Where is my water going?

    Fix a pin hole leak in a possibly 72-year-old radiator? lol... How many times? It would be different if this tractor was easy to work on. With a loader on it, it is not! Had to cut rusted fasteners, drill and re-tap several holes just to get the sheet metal off and back on. Almost sorry I...

    Where is my water going?

    Small pinhole leak in the radiator. Replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and hoses since it is such a pain to take apart. There is a Ford loader on my tractor, and it also has power steering. Without the loader, it would have been much easier to take the sheet metal off. The...

    Where is my water going?

    The oil is fine. No sign of water/antifreeze.

    Where is my water going?

    I understand how a coolant recovery system functions. I added the tank to see if the coolant was getting past the cap and flowing out the tube. It is not. The addition of a coolant recover system was just a question. I know the tractor wasn't designed for it and had been working flawlessly...

    Where is my water going?

    I know it wasn't designed for this. I added the tank to see if the coolant was getting past the cap and going out the tube.

    Where is my water going?

    If this were true, the overflow tank should have collected some of the overflow. The water loss continues until the temperature gauge says it is overheating.

    Where is my water going?

    I frequently have to add water/antifreeze to my Ford 600. The radiator and screen are clean and the engine stays cool as long as I keep the radiator full. I don't see any bubbling or signs of a bad head gasket when running with the cap off. The water seems to be flowing normally telling me...

    Ferguson TO30 3 point won't lift when below freezing.

    Flushed the old lube out of the TO-30 with diesel fuel. Drained the diesel and let it drip overnight. Refilled it with what I thought was 10W30. Ran it for 2 weeks then discovered that I had put AW32 in it instead of the 10W30. Yep. The 10W30 5 gallon bucket is the same color and is full...

    Ferguson TO30 3 point won't lift when below freezing.

    Question. How does the water that enters through the shifter on top of the transmission get into the area where the 3 point is located? I just drained it to replace the old with some new 10W30 motor oil as suggested. I also ended up draining the transmission as well since that is where the...

    Ferguson TO30 3 point won't lift when below freezing.

    It got up to 34 degrees today. After running it around for an hour, the 3 point started working again. Looking for the easiest and least expensive way to get the water out. The oil should be good for another 40 years. lol...

    Thanks for the reply. It is supposed to get above freezing in a couple days so I will start here.

    Thank you for the reply.I may try the 10W30 instead of taking things apart.
