2wd on a slope
I pulled the bucket and put chains on it yesterday. It still isn't great but is much better than it was. I have an old non-running backhoe that has 1000lbs of suitcase weights on the front end. I'm thinking of taking them off and making a bracket to mount them over the axle or just behind the...- kmacht

2wd on a slope
I wish it were an april fools joke but alas it isn't. The ground is damp but not what I would call wet. It is very solid when walking around on it and not at all muddy. It just isn't solid and compacted since it is mostly top soild and leaves that have composted themselves over the years...- kmacht

2wd on a slope
I am having a heck of a time with my 63 Ford 4000. We have 6 acres of mostly woods and have been trying to clear some more of it to make pasture for our three horses. The problem is that most of the property is on a hill. It isn't a huge hill but still a decent slope. It also used to be...- kmacht

713 Backhoe on a 4000 Tractor
Thanks for the replies and pictures. I do realized that a sub-frame of some sort will need to be fabricated. I have the equipment and tools to do the fabrication but don't know where how how it would all attach to the tractor. The tractor is a regular agricultural with 3-point hitch (not the... -

713 Backhoe on a 4000 Tractor
I ran across an ad for a very cheap Ford 713 backhoe. I'm wondering if it would be a good fit and what it would take to get it mounting and working on my 63 4000. I have seen some other photos of similar ford backhoes attached to 4000 tractors but never any details of how it attaches or how it... -

Ford front end loader id
That's exactly the same loader/piston I have. Thanks for the help. Keith -

Ford front end loader id
I bought a 63 ford 4000 two years ago and am finally getting around to fixing leaks. It came with a front end loader that I thought the id tag on the bucket said was an 877 but I haven't been able to cross reference that number to any similar pictures on the net. The two bucket curl... -

Cheapest way to add 3rd function hydraulics?
I'll see if I can get some photos and specs of the current valve body. Tapping into the hoses coming into and out of it would be ideal. I don't have a need to run any of the three valves at the same time. Right now I can lift and curl the bucket but not at the same time. It would be fine if... -

Cheapest way to add 3rd function hydraulics?
I'm thinking of making a grapple bucket for my 63 ford 4000. It already has a front end loader running off a hydraulic pump on the front of the engine. What is the cheapest way to add a third valve? I would need it to run a double acting cylinder to lift and lower the upper part of the... -

Position of hydraulic lift arms
For a temporary fix you can replace the lift arms with shorter sections of chain. You won't get any further travel of the lift but by connecting at different links you can adjust your start and end heights. I had to do this with a post hole digger. My arms weren't original to the tractor and... -

Points keep failing
After the tractor started running like crap 10 minutes after starting it I traced it down to yet another condenser failing. I gave up on Saturday and ordered the pertronix kit from Amazon. Surprisingly it was delivered on Monday (labor day). I installed it in about 20 minutes and the tractor... -

Now I did it. 4000 3 point lift problem
I got it working this weekend. It turned out to be that safety relief valve under the little square plate in front of the seat. Previously I had just pulled the cap and springs out. This time I found that a 5/8 socket would remove the whole assembly. I pulled it out and found that the seat... -

Now I did it. 4000 3 point lift problem
That was going to be my next step. Seeing how milky the fluid was I figured a quick fluid change would be in order either way. It's not really working out that well though. Keith -

Now I did it. 4000 3 point lift problem
Is there an actual valve there that gets removed? When I pulled the cap off the only thing I removed was two springs (one inside the other which I thought was odd). I put them back and put the cap back on. There was fluid inside the hole so I decided it was best to just leave it be. It is... -

Now I did it. 4000 3 point lift problem
I posted a while back about the 3 point lift on my 63 ford 4000 having issues being jerky while lifting a post hole digger. The lift always had plenty of power but was jerky. Tonight I drained the fluid and found it was contaminated with water. It was a very light brown chocolate milk...
