This picture was after a lot of cleaning with soap, water, and a kitchen sink brush... Guess I'm going to have to get a little more aggressive. :-) Thanks! -

Identifying a Ford 5000
It does have a hood that has a vertical exhaust port. It was apparently refitted to be horizontal. That said, I suppose THIS hood could be a donor. So, I have the SN from the engine: rd026474d65.. Sorry I'm not familiar with the date codes that you're asking for. How do you know the serial... -

1J would be a 71'? ... but this tractor has the louvered hood and the power steering under the hood. This should be 68' or earlier, right? -

Ford 5000 - Power Steering
I have a 5000 diesel, it has the power steering reservoir under the hood. I have just purchased this, so don't know any of its history. I also noticed that steering is difficult. I can't turn sharp in either direction. Power steering does seem to work for a revolution or two of the wheel, and... -

8600 - Sitting for over 10 years. First steps?
So, my father was a farmer. They used this 8600 on the farm. They sold the farm, kept the tractor and used it for some driveway maintenance, snow plowing, etc... It was starting hard in the winter and he was getting older and at some point, he ended up giving up on it and let it sit for a few... -
