    Ford 3cyl diesel in 4500 TLB

    I followed your suggestion and loosened up each injector line 1 at a time. The middle cylinder is not firing as there was no decrease in engine speed with the line removed. There was also no decrease in smoke with any line loosened. There was an immediate decrease in engine speed when line 1...

    Ford 3cyl diesel in 4500 TLB

    I was using my 1971 Ford 4500 with a 3 cyl 201cid diesel engine today and it suddenly started blowing blue/grey smoke. The engine was recently rebuilt and has about 50 hours on it. It had been running fine for about 45 minutes while I was using the backhoe to move some dirt. All the fluid...

    Ford King Pin Set DEPN3115A vs. Moog 8459B

    Hi, I need to replace the King Pins and Bushings on my 1971 Ford 4500. I saw a post on this site and I saw a note on the Amazon site about using the Moog 8459B kit as a less expensive option to the DEPN3115A kit. Has anyone else tried using the Moog 8459B kit on a Ford tractor and did it work...

    Ford 4500 kingpin replacement mystery shims

    Thanks pomester; that clears up what the reaming is needed for and thanks for the link on the spindle rebuild on a Ford 4500. Based on the information I saw in the link it looks like this could be a challenging job. So far I haven’t even be able to remove the Spindle Lock Pins. I have tried...

    Ford 4500 engine rebuild - now Clutch problems

    Thanks, I think I have the problem resolved and your mentioned of pedal Freeplay pointed me in the right direction. I checked the Freeplay which was about 1”, but that led me to think about the total pedal travel especially down to disengage the clutch. I had changed out the left side running...

    I had the 3 cyl Diesel engine rebuilt on my 1971 Ford 4500 TLB and installed it last Nov. Since then and while I had it apart I have been working on the hydraulics and rebuilt a few cylinders and hyd pump. I finally got it all back together and the hydraulics appear to work fine, but I can’t...

    Ford 4500 with a 19-551 Backhoe; Swing Hyd. Cyl. Rebuild??

    Thanks JF, Since I'll have to remove the entire Backhoe unit to get at the Swing Hyd Cylinders I will have to wait until I get the Stabilizer Hyd Cylinders rebuilt and reinstalled. This will be more of a challenge than I thought. It looks like someone might have already tried to rebuild 1...
