    Can''t remove pto shaft 3000 ford tractor

    I know this is a old thread but I'm having the same problem with the one I'm working on. I've watched a bunch of u-tube vids and also have a service manual and neither one goes into these details. Although from the way mine is acting it seems to be the reason why it won't come out. Sorry for...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    Well, I went out and took a chance to see what would happen. I pulled the PTO lever to the rear then checked the shaft to be sure it was locked in. I removed the 4 bolts and to my surprise the whole thing came out. It came out to just where the housing was about to clear then it stopped and...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    I finally got my seal, but I need to clarify the part about this coupling that might fall off and go into the bottom of the case. I've looked at several u-tube vids and nobody seemed to be worried about that part. They just pulled the whole housing along with the PTO shaft out. I'm not saying...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    Dang, I didn't think about that. I'll take a look see today to see what kind of shape they are in. It sits under a metal roof most of the time but in the past month or so while I've been working on it here it's been sitting outside, and we have had a couple good rainy spells since then. Having...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    Yesterday I ran a long piece of wire down into the fill hole at the rear to check to see just how much oil was in there. The best I could tell was there was right at 4" on the bottom. It looks to me like just by sighting a line across from the oil level plug the oil should come up to about where...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    Yep, that looks like the one. It probably fine if you have been working on tractors for 25 years or so. To me it leaves a lot to your imagination and it's a little hard to follow. I'm used to working out of Mercury outboard and Mercuriser manuals which are user friendly and go into a little more...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    That was my next go to but I got it out yesterday. I put some heat on it and used a big adjustable wrench that had enough beef to do the job. I think someone had put a metric plug in there and tightened the pure living heck out of it. I didn't have the time to put a thread checker on it but I'm...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    Thanks, I've been looking everywhere for some kind of a parts breakdown and finally found one from a link someone posted here. Thanks for the tip about turning on the PTO thingy, I don't need any more problems than I already have. :wink: I have the feeling that the gasket is already toast...

    Ford 3000 PTO shaft seal

    I thought I was about done with this tractor I've been working on but yesterday before I loaded it up to take it back to the club house I remembered that I still needed to check the fluid levels in the transmission and Rear of the tractor. I removed the check plug for the transmission and out...

    Ford 3000 fuel tank R/R and fuel system

    Well, a new problem has popped up. once I got a good stream of fuel going to the pump I ended up with a pretty good leak at the pump. I was trying to find it when my lines came in. I had suspected I had a leak where the #1-cylinder line went into the pump, so I replaced the injector lines first...

    Ford 3000 fuel tank R/R and fuel system

    I guess it's time for an update. I finally got the time to start on my project. After a six pac and a whole lot of really colorful words I got the hood off and the tank out. I was a real bear because of the way some of the bolts were positioned. I bought a new cap and fuel guage along with...

    Front tractor tires

    But were they made in the US or in china. Actually, it doesn't matter much if you end up with the same tire. The tire I got from Argri Supply said it was the same and also 8 ply but it was much smaller and the sidewalls seemed really thin. When I carried it back the guy said this wasn't the...

    Front tractor tires

    Well looking at the pics of the tire it says carlisle American Farmer but down below there is a box that said the pics displayed may not be what you get or something like that. Hopefully I'll be here when they show up and if they art not what they should be I'll just refuse to take and tell them...

    Front tractor tires

    I went ahead and bought 1 tire from amazon. I just went back to the same tire 5.50X16. Hopefully it will be the same size as the one that's on the tractor now. If it isn't I'll replace the other one too. $74.19 and free shipping so I guess it was worth the chance. I usually like to replace them...

    Front tractor tires

    Thanks..........I just looked on Amazon and found a Carlisle 6.00-16 for $88.00. I was reading some of the reviews and about 1/2 the people that gave a review said they had made in china stamped on them. What's up with that?
