    Ford 7000 power steering leak

    I know where it is leaking, it is from the seal under the cover of the rocker shaft arm on the right side of the steering column near the bottom. My point was that is was leaking fairly quickly and now after just a dozen hours of use it is starting to leak again. It is also leaking out the...

    Ford 7000 power steering leak

    My power steering was leaking from a seal for the power steering rocker arm cover. I replaced it and now see it starting to leak again with only a dozen hours of use. The system was also putting out some fluid from the reservoir cap. I replaced the filter because a long time ago when I first got...

    3600 Fuel system modifications

    Thanks for the input. I am not worried about it being original, it is for working. It runs pretty well, but extra parts seem like something else to go wrong. I am not going to change it since it works now.

    3600 Fuel system modifications

    Yes there is an extra line not being used and it appears to be leaking some also. I didn't know a Therm-O-Start option would work like that.

    3600 Fuel system modifications

    I just bought a 1976 Ford 3600 diesel 3 cylinder. In looking it over I have seen a couple of modifications to the fuel system which I am considering removing and one that I do not know what it is. It appears to have an electronic fuel pump with an extra inline fuel filter. Why would someone put...

    hydraulic seal blowing out

    Thanks for your replies. After looking at the description of the seal on New Holland's website, I believe you are correct about having the wrong seal installed. I have ordered the correct seals from New Holland and will give it a try.

    hydraulic seal blowing out

    I am using one that matched the one I took off. It is just a round oring. By square cut, I assume you mean it has flat faces on it.

    hydraulic seal blowing out

    My Ford 7000 has started blowing a hydraulic oring seal where the banjo bolt connects the remote connector onto the cover (hydraulic control box) under the seat. I never had a problem until the last couple of weeks and now it has happened 3 times while using a pull behind swather. My guess is...

    NH 489 Haybine gearbox issue

    I have a NH489 and had to replace the wobble gear box. I had the gear box come loose, bolts broke, and I replaced the bolts also. Then I started having the sickle bolt break and sickle heads break in thicker head. Turned out that there was too much play in the arm that drives the sickle bar...

    NH 489 with bad wobble box

    I have a 489 and although it may not be the best design it works well for me. I had this same problem about 5 years ago. The wobble box broke the bolts and I replaced with grade 8 bolts. It cut well but would break the pitman bolt, usually in fairly heavy hay but not always. It turned out that...

    Ford 7000 power steering leak

    I do not see any parts listed for a 7000 at A&I. But anyway, I was trying for a cheaper fix. I have decided to try JB Weld. If it doesn't hold up, I can have the shaft repaired later. It is pretty easy to pull it out. Thanks.

    Ford 7000 power steering leak

    My 7000 steering is leaking from the steering gear rocker shaft seal on left side of the tractor where the steering gear arm attaches. It is a double Oring seal. I replaced the orings a few years ago and now it is leaking fast. The shaft is grooved and I don't think replacing the orings will fix...

    Used NH 489 haybine - Anything to watch out for?

    A common point of failure is where the tongue hooks to the frame. Look for cracks and make sure top and bottom bolts are intact. Make sure the wobble box arm that drives the sickle bar has no play, this would indicate a worn wobble box. Mine cost about $1100 to replace 4 years ago. I like...
