    Ford 3000 hard start

    Yep, confirmed today that the injection pump inlet screen was entirely clogged except for a tiny spot on the very bottom of the filter. Got it cleaned up and back to running again.

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    I'll probably just do what I did with my tractor and load it properly this time. Last time I hired a ramp truck it was like $800 for 65 miles because the guy charged me for the time spent loading, transporting, unloading, and then cleaning the truck afterward... he only said I would only be...

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    ...You know, I'm not entirely sure. I guess I kind of disproved my entire point of saying that the truck struggled because it never got past 210° on the trans temp and it was on the bump stops because I loaded the trailer wrong. I suppose it will be fine. I was literally just told that I was...

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    Not to mention the fact that he needed a truck specifically for towing and decided to get a 1500 instead of a 2500 both times. It has the towing package and is rated for 13k total gvwr so it's not like I'm going over the gvwr or anything, just trying to lessen the stress on it.

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    On the last truck the first transmission went at 13k but the replacement was fine for another 60k until the truck got wrecked. It was replaced under warranty iirc. The transmission in the new truck was hot because it was mostly uphill driving at 55 mph and it was 95 degrees the day we dragged my...

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    Truck is a Silverado 1500 with the towing package, rated for 7500 lbs. I will be renting a U-haul car hauler to bring it home. My plan is to go there, strip a bunch of parts off, and then come back seperately for the rest of the tractor. The biggest issue is that the truck may have the...

    Stripping 3000 for transport

    This is going to sound really stupid, but I'm kind of in a weird spot right now. My 3000 needs a lot of parts to be any sort of decent, it's kind a piece of crap. I found a parts tractor that's in pretty decent shape, but I have no way to haul it (also the parts tractor has a blown up engine)...

    Ford 3000 hard start

    Okay, so it's gotten weird. It WAS doing nothing, wouldn't even smoke, then on a whim I turned the key today and it started but only for about 10 seconds. It will start and run but only on like one cylinder and then it shuts off. I checked the fuel pump bleeder and it will spit fuel for a few...

    Ford 3000 hard start

    I think the problem is that the plungers in the pump are stuck... I'm gonna go ahead and pull the pump apart and free them up and see what that does for me. I think the injectors might be partially gummed up as well.

    Ford 3000 hard start

    3000 with CAV pump. Have been having issues with the tractor struggling to start after sitting overnight but for some reason now it won't run longer than 15 seconds and sounds like it's running on 1 cylinder. Getting very weak fuel flow from the injector lines despite having good flow from the...

    MF 1x5 fender bolt spacing

    I know it doesn't, I put the picture to demonstrate the fender type I'm putting on. I might try messaging them or find someone on marketplace nearby who has a set to measure.

    MF 1x5 fender bolt spacing

    I'm planning on putting a set of the US spec Massey Ferguson 135 or similar fenders on my Ford because I don't really like how the clamshell fenders look and I want to have easier mounting for work lights. The problem is that I can't seem to find the measurement of the spacing between the bolt...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    You know, I forgot to check the air cleaner when I had the grille off. I'll have to check it but given how every other fluid looks, it's probably mostly sludge. Do the CAV pumps even have camboxes being rotary pumps?

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    Was driving up around the scrap pile about 2 weeks ago and caught a cultivator wing laying in the grass with my UTV, so I decided then that the 3000 would be on bush hogging duty once it was ready.This little 5 footer was on the back of my brother's 655, and I was initially going to run it...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    I'm going to be removing the plow subframe eventually, but right now I don't have any caps for the lines to plug them, so it's being left on. As far as the brush guard goes, it's literally just hanging on the blade cylinder to get it out of the shed where it's been sitting for nearly 6 years...
