    I have a 1940 9N that needs the hydraulics rebuilt, transmission and pto bearing replacement, steering gear and tie rod replacement and possibly other work. I'm looking for a mechanic with experience on antique Ford tractors in the Hudson Valley of N.Y.State, specifically, upper Ulster County...

    8600 pto

    I have a Ford 8600 that the PTO runs constantly. I know I need to replace the brake on it, but can it be done through the access plate on the side or do we have to break the tractor in half? You can on the 8000"s but I have heard you can"t on the 8600. The tractor is a 75 model and has dual power.

    Beware of this supposed buyer. They sent me a bogus check (company on check has no knowledge of it)for 10 times the amount of purchase for an engine block ($4,200 vs $400), wanting the check deposited immediately and the overage wired back to them immediately for shipping. If you do this the...

    67 Ford 4000 3pt questions

    We have a UK made 500 and the lift arms are set like the picture Soundguy posted. The chains are reversible and someone may have done that over the past 40 years that tractor has been around to use them as sway chains instead. If you don"t have the center attach bracket over the drawbar, you can...

    What did I do now 861 hydraulics quit

    Take the filler cap off and look inside with a flashlight to se eif you can see the dogbone move when you raise the lift arm by hand. If it doesn't or you cant see it anymore, then you'lll know you broke the dog ear. If it is still there, then you probably popped something on the controls (i.e...

    hitch not working

    I don't think so. I haven't changed any but I know you will have to pull the axle shaft to get to them. The I&T repair manuals will let you know if you need a special tool, although all the tractors and equip I have worked on I have found workarounds for nearly every special tool (shade tree...

    hitch not working

    The lift cylinder is under the seat on the bottom side of the casting the seat is attached to. The lines running to the front are for the hydraulics, but just go to an oil cooler on the front in the radiator. The black knob on the side is either the flow control or diverter knob. The diverter is...

    600 Hydraulic problem

    To blow the lines out, you would need to take the lines loose from the bottom of the pump. The lines are in a cast piece that runs from the front of the transmission to the bottom side of the pump. Once off you should have two internal lines going from the front of the transmission back to the...

    3 pt hitch adjustment

    WIth an 800 series you will also have several holes for your top link on the tractor. Thes have more to do with the Draft Control than with position. The lower hole is normally for heavy pullign implements like plows, etc. the upper hole is for lighter things like rakes and blades.

    hitch not working

    I forgot to tell you that some of those series were set up to where you could shut off the lift arms so the lift control could be used for a single acting lift cylinder of equipment like a plow or disk. The shut off was a knob by the flow rate adjusting knob on the right hand side. It is either...

    3 pt hitch adjustment

    fordan, Adjustment will depend on what you are using on the lift. For a blade, make sure the lift arms are at the same level. Use the crank on the right hand lift arm to move it up or down to the same level as the left. Check your blade with it slightly off the ground to make sure it doesn't...

    1970 Ford 2000 (new to me)

    Ther should be no problem with your guage. It only moves where the sending unit tells it to and as long as it moves, it should be OK. The sending unit is on the front of the tractor above or around the water pump. There should be a wire attached to it. Ground the wire with the key on and the...

    hitch not working

    Yes they are hydraulic. There is a lift lever on the right hand side that raises and lowers the arms. It is mounted on an arch shaped track. There is also a flow control knob on the right hand side that controls the rate of fluid flow to the lift arms. Make sure it is turned up. There should be...

    941 ?

    SOunds like you found one with a high/low option. If it is a 941, it should have a 4 speed tanny. the high/low was an option, but is not on a lot of tractors. All the 900 series were row crops with final drives on the rear to raise the tractor, but they still had 28" tires. This tractor will not...
