    year of Ford 4500 Indistrial tractor

    I"ve been trying to research this tractor my cousin bought that appears to be a Ford loader backhoe as it is a heavy ole thing. from what I can find it appears to be a Ford 4500 Industrial tractor with a huge heavy loader bucket but has a three point hitch in lieu of a backhoe on it. The info...

    8N AGAIN

    That is NOT a silly question and in fact what I am now thinking may be the situation as we did NOT remove the manifold or the carb when we put the new head on. There has not been much of any great accummulation of coolant in the container we put under the carb yesterday up till this evening...

    8N AGAIN

    I should mention again that what we had seen as far as coolant in the carb was from the little hole on the side of it. I have no idea of what this very small hole is for but when we first filled er up with coolant and was starting the front hood bolt on that side I noticed a slight drip there...

    8N AGAIN

    Don't have the equipment to do a leak down test. I'm thinking we will drain the oil and the ante freeze so as to slavage it and then refill the radiator with plain ole water before we start to tear it back apart. I don't want all the ante freeze back into the pan and everything. Will start...

    8N AGAIN

    The head was supposed to have been a good used one not cracked or warped. It looked in great condition when we received it from the new/used tractor parts dealer. Of course a new head gasket was put on with the head. Are you referring to a crack in the deck as the block? This coolant leak is a...

    8N AGAIN

    That is what happened before we took the head off and found it broken. Now after replacing the head and filling it back up with fluids we found a slight coolant drip from the carb. Gonna remove the manifold to see where the coolant in the carb is originating. Didn't even want to turn it over...

    8N AGAIN

    Yes, coolant in the carb has me baffled as I don't know why it would be there. What should be checked on the manifold studs, the torque?

    8N AGAIN

    Thanks to the guys that replied to the post below the first time. We pulled the head on this motor and it wasn't only cracked but had a piece broken out at the back cylinder. We put in a good used head today and started putting it back together. When working on bolting the hood on the front...

    8N problem

    I went over and looked at the tractor Friday. My cousin said that he had added more water to the radiator and when he looked it was low again. I opened the drain on the carb and water ran out of it for quite some time before gas started to drain. I then checked the oil, sure enough looked...

    8N problem

    My cousin just called me to ask why his 8N would have water in the carberator. He was brush hogging trails in a grown up wood lot about 3/4 mile from his house. he said that the tractor all of a sudden was running wide open and he couldn;t get it to idle down. He got to looking and finally...

    Ford 4500?

    I will try to get some pictures taken over the weekend. The tractor has sat outside but he had just driven the tractor and the clutch worked fine. In fact he had driven it into the garage, parked it for a few days and when he went out to use it the tractor creeped when he tried to start it to use.

    Ford 4500?

    My cousin bought this tractor and don't know what model it is. From the internet research I have done it appears to be a Ford 4500 with a BIG front end loader. This thing has solid front tires and he is having trouble steering it and now the thing creeps when the clutch is depressed. He's...

    AC HD-5 dozer again

    I finally got this dozer running good after finding the fuel filter canister with a bunch of debris in the bottom. I ran the dozer for about 6 hours on two seperate days after cleaning the fuel filter canisters and changing the filters. Today when I was about to work it the dozer was hard to...

    Allis HD5 power loss

    Any ideas of where to start with the fuel problem as I have no experiance of diesel motors?

    Allis HD5 power loss

    My HD5 starts to flutter and lose power after working it for between 30 to 60 minutes. I thought that it may have been heating up so I removed the radiator to check it out and found it to be in good shape so I cleaned it good inside and out. Removed the water pump to be sure the impeller was...
