    3000 Ford Id

    I have a new to me Ford 3000. I have been trying to determine the year and options by the stamped numbers behind the starter. No foil sticker. I have read previous posts about this and looked at a chart that explains the numbers, but it doesn't seem to match up to my numbers. Starting with the...

    Briggs V-twin Dead Cylinder

    I had this exact problem with a briggs twin. It is likely the Nikki carburetor. To prove it I took some carb cleaner with the straw on it and sprayed it down the carb throat on the side towards the cylinder that won't fire. If it picks up the cylinder you have found the problem. The Nikki is...

    Big ol grinder.

    Having just retired from teaching high school machine shop, wood shop, welding, small engines, and everything in between for 34.5 years I readily recognize that grinder. It is equipped with all of the “safety equipment “ that the safety nuts decided had to be put on all, and I do mean all power...

    1/2" ratchet head detent ball removal

    I have been able to get Craftsman tools replaced and sent to me free by simply contacting them and telling them what I wanted to replace.They may not have the exact item, but did have something close enough to be workable. I did have a terrible time finding the right place to call. I think it...

    Super-sized grease gun...

    My Dad was a Mobil dealer. Always like the bigger cartridges when greasing equipment we had. I don't remember a brand on the grease guns, but they worked well.

    SOS slow to engage park and 1,2,3

    That's what I had mentioned to him. His next question was how much time does it take to swap to a 5 speed?. I know it takes more than just the transmission, but how long would it be to just take it apart and put it together? I have done lots of cars and worked on a lot of tractors, but it has...

    SOS slow to engage park and 1,2,3

    Anyone want to venture a guess on the cost to repair just for parts?

    SOS slow to engage park and 1,2,3

    Thanks Bern. Do you think the slow engagement in 1,2,3 is related to the bearing?

    SOS slow to engage park and 1,2,3

    Upon a closer look at Messicks site, I see several ball bearings, so that makes sense now, but is the only option tearing it apart?

    SOS slow to engage park and 1,2,3

    I have a friend who has a 1963 ford 4000 with the selectospeed transmission. He has told me that it sometimes takes 30 seconds to engage park. It also is very slow to move in 1,2,3, but will pull well in the other gears. He changed fluid and cleaned the screen. The screen was clean and the fluid...

    8000 ford engine noise

    Thanks Bern. I will check those things out. I have seen the grooves you are talking about in the rocker arms. Hadn't thought to check that. The noise just seems louder than I think loose valve clearance would be.
