    600 series lift cover with 2000/3000 cylinder

    I posted on the Fordson forum. “Major man” suggested I post on the Ford forum. He says I have a cylinder assembly from a 2000 or 3000.

    600 series lift cover with 2000/3000 cylinder

    That sounds reasonable. I wonder how your supposed to measure the gap between the spool and the body. The spring’s in the way. Last time I eyeballed it with a caliper.

    600 series lift cover with 2000/3000 cylinder

    640 front axle support bushing

    Ordered split bushing pt #2N3039 from Ebay received a solid type. The split bushing had a brass looking coating inside. The solid bushing had no coating. Is one better than the other or easier to install? Thanks

    A better fuel shut off valve?

    I have a solution for you if your tank has a plugged 3/8" NPT hole in the right rear corner of the tank on the bottom. My replacement tank did.

    Lift control travel

    Dean, if I felt the need to tear into the lift, what would I adjust to expand the range of the touch control lever? The control valve turnbuckle or the control arm rod?
