    Ford 4000 Oil Leak

    I looked in the fill hole by the gear shift, it was not full. I could see the gears, concerned me maybe it was too low, remove the plug on the side for a second check, plenty of fluid was coming out. Was really hoping it was going to be water in there that would be causing this. I do not see...

    Ford 4000 Oil Leak

    This is the fluid I brought at Tractor Supply last week, it stated it meets the M2C134D that the 4000 manual recommends. Will this work for the lube in the front case of the gear shift also? It has been a few years since I purchased the tractor and changed the fluids. Thanks

    Ford 4000 Oil Leak

    Thanks for the quick replies. The hydraulic oil I put in today appeared more clear than what was coming out, it had a tan color, did not appear to have water in it. It was not just dripping from the opening, it was like spraying out. I always check the oil by removing the plugs on that same...

    Ford 4000 Oil Leak

    I have not cranked my tractor for over 2 years, more reasons than I care to get into. So today I need to drag the dirt road, I greased fittings, added fluid to the rear since no fluid came out when I removed the small plug. One of the rear wheels needs seal replaced but so far I have never had...

    Instrument Panel Ford 4000

    Sean, thanks for the quick reply. I don't see how one person knows so much detail about so many different tractors! I will upload a picture of the info plate that is under the hood, which I have uploaded at some time in the past and probably you told me what the info was. I do not know if...

    Instrument Panel Ford 4000

    Ford 4000 Diesel 3 cylinder - I think 1967 .. some one on here told me it was may 1974. I finally got someone to help me haul to a tractor shop and have it fixed to keep the battery charged so I do not have to jump off all the time. I want to get the instrument panel and have them connect so...

    Air the tires on Ford 4000

    First off I want to apologize for such a long delay to reply to all of your replies and to Mark B for taking the time to answer in such detail. I post here when I have a problem and then do not get back to work on the tractor and then do not reply, which I feel is rude to all of you. I got...

    Air the tires on Ford 4000

    Thanks to Everyone for your quick, detailed replies. I will not try to address each by name, but explain what I think everyone is saying. My air tank is not a compressor, it is portable tank that I take to town to fill. But I will try to add more to the tire that is taking air. To test the one...

    Air the tires on Ford 4000

    I have been putting air in tires since my first bicycle over 55 years ago. So I think I would know how to do this but having a hard time. Maybe this should be 2 separate post as it is actually 2 questions but will hesitate to even ask "how to put air in a tire" Had the tractor about 5 years...

    Ford 4000 Front Tire Replace or Repair

    Thanks for the quick reply Dean. I was just looking on the site for tires and see you replied. I agree the goo is not a Fix, and I only use for my small lawn mower. Have never used in a tube, really did not think you could. So if you think this has a tube, maybe it can be patched or new tube. We...

    Ford 4000 Front Tire Replace or Repair

    Both of the front tires are old and dry, one has gone down 2 times now. I do not use my tractor except for dragging our dirt road, 1 mile .. 2 at most. I don't think it has a tube in the tire, the air valve stem is metal so I assume this it tubeless. I was thinking about filling it with the...

    Ford 4000 Diesel - Blue Smoke?

    It has been a while since I have been here, last visits was trying to get generator to change battery. Never got it figured out and just settled with keeping changed with AC charger. Will tackle that another time. If it cranks or I have to jump start I leave it running until through for the...

    Battery not charging

    Sean, Thanks for you reply. this is a OLD changer we do not have the manual, I will look at the make and model to see if I can find a manual on-line. You may have seen the others replies that this could cause damage to the battery (still do not know how those post got outside of this thread...

    Re: Battery not charging

    This is strange, somehow your replies got outside of my original post? I had logged back in to add about the why the battery charger was doing and I saw this as a different Thread. I thought "that guy is having the same problem as me" then read this closer and it seems you all were replying to...
