Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Got the gas tractor split. Was a bit of a process but got it done. -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
It's a 65. I already got the coolant overflowing issue fixed with a new cap, the old cap only built 3 lbs of pressure, and the system was building more than that. Radiator has just enough resistance to flow across the core that the water pump's output slowly fills the top tank, causing it to... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Started stripping the parts tractor to get ready for the split. It'll clean up pretty good once I get the diesel on. Can the hydraulic pump and the steering pump swap? The gas machine has the later style steering pump, while the diesel has the early style with the seperate reservoir; the... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Got the fuel outlet cleaned out, and yeah, it was totally clogged. Took an hour and a half to drain 3 gallons of fuel out of the fuel valve so I ended up loosening it and letting the rest drain out around the threads. Tractor is running a lot better now now that it actually has some fuel flow... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Changed the fuel filters on the diesel today, and yeah, I'll let the picture do the talking. Stand pipes were covered in rust as well, and the filter media totally disintegrated. The inlet filter clogged solid again and had to be cleaned out but it seems as if the tank outlet also clogged up so... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Went ahead and did some testing today... engine still spins over so was able to verify the 3 point on the parts tractor works, as does the PTO and the clutch. Power steering is totally empty so couldn't test it, and unfortunately the engine lacks compression on at least 2 cylinders (I'm thinking... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Parts machine acquired! Kind of a shame to part out old 102550 but this one (34800 or whatever, I forget what the serial was) should be a much nicer machine. It's a gas 8 speed with 1100 hours and a ventilated block: The diesel from 102550 will be going on this transmission and basically... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
I found one that should work... later 8 speed gas 3000, terrible shape, blown motor.. I was hoping to get some spare engine parts but that's not happening, even 3000 diesels with ventilated blocks sell FAST. Really sucks, too, I have to keep my caved in and rust filled fuel tank and my leaking... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Well, the 3 point isn't really a top concern because a much bigger issue has presented itself. Went to pull the tractor out today, put it in reverse, and it immediately took off backwards while I was still holding the inching pedal down. Turns out, my clutch valve has gone out so the only way to... -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
I'm running it in position control. In draft control the 3 point won't lift at all. Not sure on the draft control plunger moving but it happens mainly when the tractor is level but the mower is elevated, it doesn't do it when passing over a valley in the ground. -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
I've seen that before, but this doesn't seem like that. I went to drop the 3 point and the 3 point got halfway down and then it randomly lifted again and stayed lifted until I fiddled with the 3 point lever a bit. The bush hog kept lifting on its own when going over bumps, I would hit a bump and... -
8N carburetor leaks gas with shutoff valve open a 1/2 turn for starting and tractor won’t start. Any suggestions??
More than likely your float is sunk or the needle valve has some junk keeping it from fully seating. -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
Ran for about 25 minutes today and the 3 point is acting up bad. Lifts and lowers like the lever is constantly being moved. The stud that holds the draft control linkage is missing from the transmission. Could this be my issue? I seriously hope it isn't. -
Mudrig's new Ford 3000
3000 definitely is a fixer upper, that's for sure. After the previous post I made where I mowed around the scrap pile, the tractor refused to start. Wouldn't run at all and wouldn't even smoke when turning it over. Turned out that the inlet screen on the injection pump was clogged nearly solid... -
Early 3000 serial number weirdness
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a pre-production tractor. It's got some weirdness all around and a lot of workmaster parts on it, including a workmaster looking front axle that doesn't match even my buddy's 3000 that is serial 103663.
