    ford 640 hydraulic

    I am fixing my ford 640 hydraulic system. I took it apart and discovered the cam follower pin was completely busted off. This is the pin that is in the linkage system in the top cover. Does anyone know how long this pin is supposed to be? Can you buy these? Have a machine shop replace it?

    painting question

    Thanks a bunch for the clarifications. I now feel more prepared. I understand there is some variation in the approach based on personal experience. I plan to keep the tractor and pass it to my son someday so I want a nice job that will last. I totally rebuilt the engine 10 years ago with help...

    pto speed

    Thanks Guys. I think I understand it better. JD, your answer makes sense to me based on my observations. It seems I have to run the 990 at full throttle to get the same pto speed as the ford at much lower throttle.

    pto speed

    I have a ford 600 and a john deere 990. At the same throttle speed, the ford 600 seems to have much more pto speed. Is this true? Why is this? Is there a way to increase the pto speed on the 990? Thanks in advance. You always seem to help me out, even with the stupid questions...

    hauling John Deere 990

    Stupid question but have to ask... When hauling a tractor on a flatbed wagon, do you place tractor in gear and set brakes or do you let the chains do the holding?

    Where to get Ferguson plow parts?

    I have an old ferguson 2-12 plow that I had quite a time finding plow shares for. I jumped on this same discussion forum and got hooked up with a ford/new holland dealer in Pennsylvania just north of Harrisburg. They stock steel plow shares to replace the cast ones that were original equipment...

    single row corn planters

    dumb question.. but just have to ask. I see these single row corn planters for sale that have no fertilizer hopper. What do people do to get fertilizer on their corn, or do they just do without?

    Ford 600 hydraulic probem

    Did some additional tests tonight. I have flow coming out of the pump. I did a test where I took off the accessory plate and put a pressure gage down at the plug beside the relief valve. Put a gasket over the pressure tube (outflow) at the accessory plate. Started the tractor. My manual says the...
