    601 workmaster 3 point problems

    I would check to see if there is air in your pump. I had that problem on my 600 a few wears ago, ended up having the pump rebuilt to solve the problem. Good luck

    Would you reuse a head gasket?

    Continental F162 Flathead 4 out of a Massey 101 Jr. I bought the engine site unseen, and am pulling it apart to inspect it. The pistons, and valves look great. When comes time to put it back together, could I use the old head gasket? It's sandwiched steel, with copper inserts around bolts...

    Ford 600 running rough

    I have a 600 also, and sometime ago it started acting up just like yours, and I replaced the coil and fixed my problem. Coils are not that expensive. I am sure others will chime in and add their thoughts.

    Ford 861, help with 3-point not rising enough

    I have a 600 and about 20 yrs ago it started doing the same as your tractor. Turned out to be the cam pin and air getting into the hyd pump.

    Toggle switch

    At times it will shut down as if key was turned off. I can jiggle the switch when it starts this and it will be fine for a while. I think it's the switch that came with the tractor in 1957.

    Toggle switch

    Have a 600 gas 6 volt, and keyed switch has gone bad. Will a toggle switch work as good as a new keyed switch?

    600 Oil Pressure

    Have owned the 600 for 30 yrs and oil pressure has always held a steady 40 lbs. Recently the oil pressure will start out at 20 lbs then maybe go to 60 then after about 5 mins settle back to 40 lbs and hold. Does this sound like oil pump going out? Oil level is full.

    64 Ford 2000 died?

    My 600 was acting like this a year ago. I put on a new coil and replaced the keyed switch and cured problem. I don't think you have a gas problem unless it's not getting good vent. jmo
