    Tie rod clamp

    Well, I just got it together with a cheaper...and likely only temporary fix. Used a ubolt and a cut the head off a half inch bolt and squeezed her down right and it held for 30 min of bush hogging. I'll go to a salvage yard sometime and get the real thing, but this'll work for now.

    Tie rod clamp

    Each place I've checked out the part either costs $20-30 free shipping or $7 and $12 shipping. I may just be too tight, but all I need is a little hunk of steel...

    Tie rod clamp

    I need a tie rod clamp for my 5000. Anybody got one off a salvage tractor I can buy? Local New Holland dealer can't get one, and shipping is WAY out of bounds to order one.

    radiator ford 5000

    Got home and looked at radiator again. The small radiator goes to the transmission...transmission oil cooler not engine oil cooler. It's a SOS.

    radiator ford 5000

    I don't think my radiator is repairable. I was clearing some tree tops and a log kicked up and crushed it right smack in the middle of the radiator hitting the oil cooler too. I live in middle tennessee if anyone around these parts has one I'd be willing to come get it. New ones are 350.

    radiator ford 5000

    I put a big hole in my radiator not fixable. It has a small radiator looking thing on the front of it with two small hoses to it. Is this an oil cooler? The parts page say the oil cooler is on the engine side, but this is on the front. Any of you guys happen to have both for sale?

    5000 SOS hard starting

    I don't have it in front of me, but I'm pretty sure I used the one you recommended. I'll check when I get home.

    5000 SOS hard starting

    My 65 5000 is real hard to start the first time in the day. Takes a lot of cranking, and blows white smoke out the stack. After I get it started once it will start right up the rest of the day. I have not checked compression yet. This is a rebuild I did this past spring, and I'm not sure...

    Gas slow into bowl

    Trying to get an 8N front mount 12v started, and one of the problems is fuel flow. I believe there is some (at least) rust flakes in the tank. What is the best way to take care of this? Can I take the fuel bowl assembly off and rinse the tank out? Is it a big problem to take the tank off to...

    Getting an 8n started

    Hmmm, as I recall from looking at his tractir yesterday, it had two pedals on the right and only 3 forwards. I'll have to look more closely when Im there next, specifically the serial #.

    Getting an 8n started

    Yep, my 5000 is up and running great...at least so far! I have put it through a good workout too, so alls good. Thanks for that info too on this 8n...although now I think it's a 2n. It has reverse and 3 forward gears. Didn't the 8n have 4? I'll take some pictures next time i go over.

    Getting an 8n started

    It has been a long time since I"ve looked at an 8n. I have a friend (newbie) with an 8n we are trying to get started after it has sat for almost 3 years. He got a new battery, but I"m not sure how to tell if this one has a 12v conversion or not. I assume since it has an alternator, then it is...

    PTO slow to engage

    "65 Ford 5000D SOS. Whenever I flip the handle to engage the PTO, it takes quite awhile to actually start turning...sometimes as long as 20-30 seconds. Once it starts, there are no issues with slowing down or anything. Any ideas where to start looking?

    Success at last!!

    Got back home after work today, and went to work on the 5000D rebuild/starting problems. I had to make my own bleed screw for the fuel filter, but was a simple job. Then I opened up the side plate of the pump to check the square sliding-governor thingy. Bern, you were right, it was sticky...
