    ford 3000 timing

    Don't I just need to unhook a line past the pump to see if it's pushing out?

    ford 3000 timing

    We'll she didn't start but with all the info here I'm pretty sure it's in time now. I got it at TDC, got the points checked and got the distributor set right. I realized while I was doing this that I'd put my wires on backward (clockwise vs counterclockwise). It's not backfiring anymore and...

    ford 3000 timing

    Got some oil in there and cranked for a bit to get everything oiled up. Not starting but I'll mess with the timing when I have more time. For anyone else facing this, I did manage to find a pointer. Very hard to see but it's an arrow at the top of the picture. Right above the view window.

    ford 3000 timing

    Finally getting back at it. I located the spot where you can see the timing marks, but I'm not seeing any pointer ;0 If it ever quits raining I'm going over there and try to get it to TDC and see where the distributor is pointed. I'd like to get this thing running

    ford 3000 timing

    Thanks folks. Probably going to be a bet before I get to work on it much. I really need to find someone to trailer it here so I have more than an hour or two at a time to work on it.

    ford 3000 timing

    I have the Ford Service Manual. I don't see anything that mentions position of #1. The only things I see related timing are the basic ignition timing (2 +/-2), point gap (0.024-0.026), and rotation is counterclockwise. Maybe I found it in another section. "When the gears are properly meshed...

    ford 3000 timing

    I think that might be beyond me. Haha. I guess you'd just swap 3 for 1 and 2 would remain in the same spot? Firing order is 123

    ford 3000 timing

    No luck today. I found the viewing window but no pointer that I could see. I pulled the starter and rolled it around so I could clean off the timing marks. Put a little paint on TDC . Rolled it around by hand and then reinstalled the distributor aligned to one. Still not doing it. It either...

    ford 3000 timing

    OK folks. First know I'm all thumbs when it comes to mechanical stuff. So I've got an old Ford 3000 gasser that hasn't run in 20 years. I have changed out the fluids, oil, etc. It's one of those projects that I work with, get frustrated then don't mess with for a year. Anyway, cranks ok...

    Loader, hoe hydraulic filter

    I guess just clean all debris from outside of filter and spray it from the inside out to get rid of debris? Seems like its a cleanable filter. Case filter parts guy had never seen it before and the part number would not cross over to anything. I found it on marvel engineering on the web who...

    Carburator thingy ID

    I know that this has been asked and answered before but I could not find the post. (very poor puter skills) What is the purpose of the screened hole behind the drain plug? I took a carb off of a friends N cuz the it was not getting fuel through it and that thingy was plugged with silicone.
