    Charging a 6 Volt Battery

    Thanks everyone. I found one at a Ford New Holland dealer for $42.00. I have to watch it though since it's a pretty basic model. I can overcharge it if I'm not careful. While getting the generator I picked up a new ligh bulb for the ignition light and low-and-behold, the light stays on when...

    Charging a 6 Volt Battery

    My 6 volt tractor battery is dead. It's only about 6 months old. Is there a way to charge it with a 12 volt charger? I went to a few stores and didn't see any 6 volt chargers, just 12V. 1964 Ford 2000, Gas engine

    Put SAE 40 in Ford 2000 Engine. Is this a problem?

    I jus accidentally put new SAE 40 instead of 10W-40 in my Ford 2000 engine(Gas - 1964). I really haven't run it more than a few minutes. Should I drain what I just put in there and replace it, or should it be ok?

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    I called New Holland and bought thier's for $71. Maybe the parts list is included with the more expensive ones? But, I can get to all the drawing and part numbers from the New Holland web site (I was very impressed with their web site for parts listing and drawing blowouts.) That should do it...

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    OK, so I went out shopping for a manual and the prices are all over the place ($31 - $118). There are different types of manuals, but not sure which is the proper one. New Holland has one for $71 while Yeterday's Tractor Today has the same publication (#40060090) for $131. I placed a bunch of...

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    The first reservoir I checked was for the hydraulic fluid. I know that now because of the drawings and the dip stick (located on the opposite side) also showed a cream colored liquid. The second plug was the differential. So both of them take the same kind of fluid (New Holland 134)? The manual...

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    I have a 4-speed transmission. Here's a link to some pics showing where the leak is coming from and the different plugs I found. http://www.corporatedatadesign.com/Ford2000Tractor.htm (Hopefully, the link will be accepted in the posting.) Look at the pics and then my questions are...

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    Well, I found the differential cavities. There were two large screw-on caps located on either side (about 3" in diameter). I removed each one and shined a flashlight inside. I didn't really see any fluid to speak of. In addition, I've been running the tractor off and on since November and...

    Ford 200, 1964 Gas - Left wheel leaking fluid

    My tractor started leaking fluid from the left wheel. It kind of looks like transmission fluid? Any ideas? I have an operator’s manual for the tractor and it has the transmission fluid capacity but doesn't show how to check the level or the type of fluid. It drips constantly regardless of...

    Polarizing a generator and Jumping a 6V battery (Soundguy?)

    Well, when I get a chance, I'll place a jumber between the proper two contacts on the VR and then see if the voltage across the battery is greater than 6 volts when the tracor is running. Then I'll know it's charging. I assume that's a correct assumption? Is there a voltage or resistance check...
