    72, 4000 3 point hitch will not lift.

    Had something similar with my 68 2000. Main valve had a bit of corrosion since PO did no maintenance and never changed fluid. Polishing and new O rings fixed my problem. Also, there are 2 filters in the sump...one is paper and if they've not been serviced the paper one can degrade and clog the...

    Rusty Rear Wheel 1968 Ford 4000

    Email me and I'll share my secret used parts source for the wheel their price will be 50% of new plus freight...BKT is a decent brand of tire. You don't mention tire size but could be 28" or 39" and you will want to match width to other side rim. Never heard of a Ford with rim riveted to...

    Flail Mower

    3000 will lift 2000 lb at the lift arm. To be sure, would be nice if you can get mower and tractor together.

    Ford 4000 No Spark

    You might consider converting to PERTRONIX electronic ignition...this replaces condenser and points. Install is less than an hour and is a long term no spark solution. I also replaced coil with pertronix.

    3400 follow up

    I read a comment from a retired Ford tractor mechanic of that era on one of the forums: "Constant rpm adjustments of carb by the governor caused premature wear of moving parts in carb. Also over tightening of screws between upper and lower bodies can warp them so even with gasket, air seal is...

    Need Help with Ford 2000 LCG Tractor

    Fully charged battery should read about 12.8 volts with tractor off. Once started so generator/alternator working voltage at battery terminals should be over 13 volts. You mentioned that "alternator" might not be working. Although you did not mention year of tractor, the Thousand series came...

    Hundred series battery hold downs?

    Hate to mention a competitor But the Messicks web site has a good diagram of the battery hold down hardware. Many of the parts seem to be in stock at prices that reflect the rarity of them. If you see a list of tractors on the left side of the parts page, type in 840 in the empty box at the...

    Gas tank issue/ need advise.

    Don't think under normal circumstances that tank or fuel tap should be deteriorated in that short a time. Does the gas in the tank smell like gasoline should? Recommend you drain the tank, remove the fuel tap and clean the filter screen located on it. Take a good look in the tank when...

    3550 transmission leak

    Sometimes it is amazing what is available from CNHI...then again Ford tended to carry over parts in a lot of cases from one model to another. By all means, try YT and Messicks has perhaps even more than CNHI on older models. Good luck!

    70 ford 4000 gas idle problem

    I am not a mechanic! My work has been done by 1 mechanic over 4 years. If carb is not the Holley then it is most likely a Zenith replacement which I have. If you have found debris in the fuel system, you may have more or needle valve is damaged. There are likely 4 screens in the total gas...

    Fuel level in sediment bowl on 1973 F9rd 200 gas

    Lsson learned the hard way...keep a good check on the engine oil. Be aware of level increase, odor of gasoline in oil, feel viscosity of oil on dip stick, watch the color for blackening. All signs of gas in oil, usually from ruptured diaphram in fuel pump.

    ford 2000 intermittent lifting

    You may be aware or not, but there are 2 filters (inflow and output) in the hydraulic sump. One of them is a paper cartridge encased in a steel mesh. PIB to service so a lot of them never were.
