    Crankshaft gear puller?

    My Dad needs me to find him a gear puller for the crankshaft, he has to replace the timing gears on a 601 he has and was able to get the camshaft gear off but not the crank one. The manual shows one but I sure would not know where to start to find that as they are so rare. Or do you'all make...

    Ford 4000 Bush Hog/rotary cutter size

    One more question, I don't understand the problem if I don't run the top link? Is lifting the only reason you guys don't recommend a 3 point hookup or is it something else like the stress during turning? thanks

    Ford 4000 Bush Hog/rotary cutter size

    They have all been 3 point, but I don't plan on lifting it, this is strictly pasture management. Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it!

    Ford 4000 Bush Hog/rotary cutter size

    I have a later model Ford 4000 diesel. As far as I can determine, the recommended cutter size is 8'. These are scarce as hen's teeth in the used market, which is all I can afford. I mean, I can't find ANY for sale within 2-3 hours drive. How taxing is it to run a 10' on this 55hp tractor...

    4000 stabilizer bars?

    I wasn't clear, I should have said I have the bracket "style" of the ones pictured on the left, but I do have both sides. Now I have to try and see if a Rural King or TSC has a pin that will fit the lift arms or if I have to make a trip to the super expensive NH dealer. Thanks again.

    Tractor tire ply question

    Thanks everyone that was fast, I will stick with my initial choice then. I get tired of overthinking things but we are talking about $1200 here!

    Tractor tire ply question

    Have to get some tractor tires for my new to me Ford 4000. The size is 16.9 - 30 When I called the store up I had a choice of BKT which is 8 ply, or Firestone which is 6 ply. I really wanted the made in the US Firestone but was afraid it would be too prone to punctures from stobbs and...

    641 bad blow by

    That's not a bad idea. I had a leak between two cylinders on my head gasket, at first it did not produce much exhaust steam but it did eventually. Had to replace twice, second time I finally did it right with copper coating, running a tap down the stud holes, proper torquing etc. Pay attention...

    4000 stabilizer bars?

    Thanks Sean, that is really helpful. I have the bracket on the left, but the lift arms on the right? I will have to get some pins for my lift arms, and probably just use the adjustable style stabilizers mentioned above. I do have that factory flat bar with 3 holes depicted in the picture on...

    Farm liability question

    This subject has always concerned me. We have tons of people out on our small farm (photographers etc.), have regular farm insurance covering stuff, like cows getting out, people picking up equipment etc. but when my wife started doing weddings at our place we had to get more, cost us $260 per...

    4000 stabilizer bars?

    I have one of those that was left at our farm when we bought it, but it appears to be the same basic length as a regular flat bar stabilizer? I think a regular flat bar is too short, I may have another look tonight at home though. The one that I have has a lot more bend to it than the...

    4000 stabilizer bars?

    Thanks to everyone, I may have to go to the dealer and see about the "special pins" you are talking about, if they are just simple stabilizer pins I can pick up at the local store then I will do that, my only concern is if they squeeze the channel too much when I tighten them? They currently...

    Ford 850 Project Tractor Candidate

    X2, with those tires and that solid looking, and after driving it I agree. $3k is too steep the way it sits though, at least for around here. Tractor looks pretty good to me, I've got an 850 as well (is that a straight pipe instead of a muffler?).
