    1939 ford 9n

    I received this tractor after it sat in my grandfathers yard for 20+ years. Got it to start and run pretty quick and cheap. Now I have put a box blade on it and it has two lift options. All the way up. Or all the way down. Is there a way to adjust this lever?

    Ford 3000 diesel compression check

    So I went back out with new gauge borrowed from neighbor. I put the cork type gasket on but did not put the copper gasket on. I'm reading 175 psi on two of them and 275 psi on one. So I need to put the copper washer on inside also as if it were an actual injector? Thank you for your help

    Ford 3000 diesel compression check

    I bought a $60 amazon special which came with nothing put parts. So I'm guessing on how to put this where injector goes to check the compression. Photo shows how I have inserted it. When cranking engine I know there is pressure. Gauge is not moving off the zero but maybe a hair width. So...

    1965 Ford 3000 Diesel not firing

    I did not check it with a diesel gauge but the neighbor tried to hold his gas engine compression gauge by hand and it shot his hand up in the air. I think it has pretty good compression. I had bought a gauge to check it correctly two years ago when I was trying to get it running the first...

    1965 Ford 3000 Diesel not firing

    but to clear up any confusion, I do have fuel coming out of all 3 lines. when I get the new injector, it will spit fuel out all 3 like it is supposed to. i'm hoping when that third one is in and working it will fire, but the original question I was wondering if having only 2 good injectors and...

    1965 Ford 3000 Diesel not firing

    Thank you for the information. Is there a better picture showing which cover to take off? I cant tell by looking at the diagram. One more question, so even if fuel is going through all 3 injectors, that spring can be the cause for it not firing? Thanks for the tips. I appreciate it.

    1965 Ford 3000 Diesel not firing

    Hi. I'm new to the forum. Have been buying parts on here for this tractor. It was my grandfathers who used it to plow the fields and plant cotton back in the day. It has been sitting for over 20 years outside. I put all new fluids in, freed up the wheel, new starter, new wiring, etc...
