    Ford 4000 ('65 3 cyl) steering gear issue

    Was able to get everything off (yes, took taking the wheel, tin/dash, fuel tank) to get the steering gear column and box off. Took it all apart and found it was just this bracket holding the tube of ball bearings against the wormshaft and ball-nut that had broke and pulled away, and one ball had...

    Ford 4000 ('65 3 cyl) steering gear issue

    Have a '65 Ford 4000, and lost my steering today halfway through plowing us out of a foot of snow. Steering wheel started turning freely, but won't pivot the steering arm coming out of the steering gear assembly, and so won't turn the front wheels. I took the side plate off the steering gear...

    Ford 4000 update: bubbling engine oil

    Thanks all, this was just the info I needed. Yes, I did put too much coolant in, so that should be that issue I suppose.

    Ford 4000 update: bubbling engine oil

    So to update on the issues I posed about a couple weeks ago here, re: a '65 4000 diesel. When I checked the engine oil level when the tractor was cold, turns out the level was where it should be (not way overfull as I thought). Issue is that once I start running the tractor, the oil seems to...

    ford 4000 hydraulics

    I have a '65 4000 - yes, those are separate oil housings, transmission in one, hydr/rear axle in another. The oil fill plug is located right next to the gear shift levers, and the fill plug is about halfway down the housing. So you can take the fill plug off and see if the oil is way up to begin...

    Ford 4000 problems

    Any recommendations for where to send the fuel injector pump for service? And what the cost might be? Looks like new pumps go for about $650.

    Ford 4000 problems

    I've had the tractor about a year and a half now. It was running hot (needle right up next to the red) when I was mowing with it once, which I suppose is when the engine issues started. The power steering oil reservoir is currently maybe an inch lower than the dipstick mark. But it also loses...

    Ford 4000 problems

    Have a 1965 3-cyl diesel Ford 4000... So figured out a hydraulic/PTO issue I was having (hydraulic pump to PTO valve tube had disconnected), when no sooner did a hose of other problems arise. Steering started to fail, but this turned out to be "just" the splines on the steering shaft and...

    '65 Ford 4000 hydraulic/PTO stops working

    Just to update, it all turned out to seemingly be a pretty simple issue - the small supply tube from the gear hydraulic pump to the PTO control valve had become disconnected somehow - the threaded nut that screws into the valve housing to hold the flanged tube in place was off. WHY it was off, I...

    '65 Ford 4000 hydraulic/PTO stops working

    Thanks Sean, yes, I can find a leak at the top when I engage the remotes. Will try new rings and seals overhaul. Is it worthwhile to replace the filters or anything else in there while I have it opened up? For all I know the filters are 50 years old.

    '65 Ford 4000 hydraulic/PTO stops working

    OK, tested the pressure off the remotes after cold start - reading 1850-1900 psi. Is this low to begin with? But I haven't run it hot and checked, when things start to give out. Whatever it is, it looks like the only thing to do is start poking around the system? What's more likely - the pump...

    '65 Ford 4000 hydraulic/PTO stops working

    Recently encountered an issue with our '65 Ford 4000. It has a front end loader on it, and has (what I think was added?) the twin lever unit, one to control a set or rear remotes and one to switch between powering the FEL and the 3-pt arms. Everything in this respect has worked fine for the two...

    1965 Ford 4000 Fender

    Hi Miner, no, that"s the fender listed for 2000, 3000, and many others, but for whatever reason the 3 cylinder 4000 is different. The one shown in the catalog that Shetland linked to appears to be the correct fender (the top one shown in the image, of the two). But all the particular parts for...

    1965 Ford 4000 Fender

    Trying to find a fender to fit my 1965 Ford 4000. It is not a two-piece unit (fender + bracket), but just one solid piece down to the axle. Some websites (presumably) erroneously list those other fenders as fitting the Ford 4000 (not specifying which "version"), or like this site, excluding the...
