    Ford 3000 Steering

    Well I'm still at it. I replaced both the upper and lower bearings (the race at the bottom is still in good shape). Had to replace the front sector shaft also due to my mechanic buddy breaking off the retaining 'ears' from the end of the shaft. A new one's installed. I believe I messed up by...

    Ford 3000 Steering

    I honestly don't know how I've been able to steer my 1966 3000, given what I've found. No wonder it's been steering easier to the right lately, and that left turning has been getting more difficult. I'm going to try to attach 4 images. Steering failed on me earlier today (never a good time...

    67 Ford 3000 Tach Cable and Parts Diagrams Link

    Gents, I've searched the forums and I can't come up with a link to the parts diagrams. These are the ones I've used before to identify things like the friction disk, original hardware, and the like. Would someone please re-post, or point me in the right direction? My thanks in advance. Among...

    Ford 3000 Not Charging Battery

    Thanks -- this may be a way I'd go. If you have a minute, could you outline how you did the conversion, what I'll need?

    Ford 3000 Not Charging Battery

    Fellas, you've always helped me before with newbie questions and I sure appreciate it. My 1966 Ford 3000 diesel does pretty much everything right, except charge the battery. When running the red light stays on (lower left hand corner of instrument panel). I'm looking for guidance on...

    3000 Friction Disc Changeout

    With the tractor being at the farm several counties away, I want to try my best to take with me all the parts I might need next month when changing out the friction disc (#32 in the diagram below). Looking at the diagram, can it be as easy as removing the hardware set 27-25-26 and then the...

    Ford 3000 Lift Problems

    Thank you for your response. I'll need to examine the friction disk next time I'm up there -- can you describe how solid/easy the movement of the lift control lever should be? Seems like movement should be firm and solid, and would stay in a set position without drifting. Not loosey-goosey but...

    Ford 3000 Lift Problems

    I've been experiencing some problems with my 3000's hydraulics. The symptoms are: - erratic lift, sometimes it will/sometimes it won't. - when mowing, occasionally the deck will lower on its own, causing no little amount of frustration -- not to mention pasture damage. With the tractor...

    Trans/Hydraulic Fluid '66 3000

    Thanks, Sean. Yep, I got that far, noticed it's a Service Manual. I didn't see anything covering the front sump in the maintenance/lubrication section of my owner's manual, will look again when I have it in my hand. Good info on the Super Dexta.

    Trans/Hydraulic Fluid '66 3000

    Thank you both. Sean, here's the cover of the manual I have: I'm having some difficulty in determining which system I have on this tractor; my tractor looks very similar to what I see in Fig. 2 of Chapter 1 in Part 11 (Hydraulic Systems), with the exception of the selector valve (I...
