Ford 4500 Backhoe Hydraulic Valve Block Replacement
I never finished this project. Sadly, my backhoe is still in the same state of disrepair as it was a few years back due to other more pressing projects and other life events. I am still hopeful to get it running again someday. I feel that using that valve spool should work. My main concern... -

3000 PTO In/Out Play
You all hit the nail on the head. My sleeve had moved about 1/4" allowing the play. I would have just tapped it back into place since there were no other broken parts but the bearing seemed a little suspect. So I went ahead and replaced all the parts on the PTO shaft while I had everything... -

Need a recommendation for a hydraulic top link
I have been researching these as well to get one for my 3000. I can't recommend a specific model but the general consensus online seems to be to get one with "double piloted check valves" to avoid leakdown. I was also looking at a working length of 21" to 31" as I read 27" is a typical length... -

3000 PTO In/Out Play
Thanks Mike & souNdguy for the pointers on the repairs. I will go ahead and investigate/repair this while I have the hydraulic oil drained. Mike I think you hit the nail on the head with the issue resulting from a PTO shaft being too long. After I added a slip clutch to my bush hog... -

3000 PTO In/Out Play
The PTO on my 3000 has about 1/8" to 1/4" play in and out. That is, I can push / pull the PTO by hand that far into and out of the back of the tractor. It doesn't currently leak in that area but I am wondering if that amount of play is normal or do I need to replace the bearings to snug it up... -

NCMichael, your pump
Thanks for the update. Based on that info and the fact my new guides are longer than the originals, I think I am just going to reuse my original ones to be safe. I don't feel comfortable trying to size/shape the new ones correctly. I appreciate all the help. No way I would try something like... -

Ford 3000 Hydraulic Pump Rebuild Question
Thanks. I have a manual but it doesn't mention how to adjust the tripod guides so I am not sure what needs to be done with those. I would like to use the new ones if possible but they may need some adjusting first. -

Ford 3000 Hydraulic Pump Rebuild Question
I am rebuilding the hydraulic piston pump on my '74 Ford 3000 using a rebuild kit. The original pump was working but it leaked when lifting a heavy load. When I opened it up a small part of one of the gaskets was missing which probably explains the leak. In reassembling the pump I have a... -

Ford 4500 Backhoe Hydraulic Valve Block Replacement
I have a Ford 4500 backhoe that I would like to switch out the big monoblock valve block in the rear. The block has a bent spool and I am not a big fan of the original four stick layout. For some reason they appear to favor left hand movements and I am right handed. My problem is I am not... -

Ford 4500 Backhoe Shuttle Shift Oil Cooler Lines
Thanks for the info. I have been searching online by part numbers and descriptions for a while now with no success. Do you have contact information for any salvage yards you recommend? I am not familiar with any that carry this series of tractor equipment. I think I will go the hard line... -

Ford 4500 Backhoe Shuttle Shift Oil Cooler Lines
I recently noticed that the two oil cooler lines from my 4500 shuttle shift transmission to the radiator are missing. The previous owner looped them together just in front of the filter mounted on the left side of the transmission. I am thinking that Ford would not have included these on the... -

Ford 3000 Temperature Gauge / Sending Unit
Here is an update. I retested the voltage stabilizer with my digital Fluke meter and was reading the same voltage out and what was going in. I know that isn't the correct instrument to test with but that is what I had available and I thought before I was seeing a lower voltage on the output...
