    3000 Ford Stuck Clutch

    Not a professional answer, and it may not work for you, but one time I had a clutch stick (on an old chevy truck) and I crawled under it with a screw driver, wedged it in and broke it loose....... worth a try.

    ford backhoe

    Left or Right side on the mounting boss, depending on the year. Early years were on the left, around the mid 60"s they switched to the right side. Richard

    655A Swing Post Help

    Thanks for the replies. It"s got to come off, no question about that. If I go the repair route vs replacement (best quote so for ~$1500) then it would go to a professional shop. Richard

    655A Swing Post Help

    Picked up an 88 Ford 655A backhoe and the swing Post is fractured on both sides where the swing cylinder pins fit. Can it be repaired (figure it is cast) or does anyone know where I can find a used one? Link to photos

    Rod or Rick: I ahve aquestion for you about a 172 Industrial

    I have a 2000 with the 134 gas and 4sp. Also a 4000 HD Industrial loader and hoe with the 172 gas and 4sp. The rear end and trans are the same. motors will swap. The motor on ebay you referenced looks the same except for the round flywheel cover on the back. Don"t know if this helps Richard

    3000 gas and a baler

    What about the transmission? I have a 2000 gas (134 CID) with a 4 speed. Not near enough tractor. I use a 62 hp Case/IH for bailing but a 50 or so would work. I know the 4000 is a 172 CID but not sure about the 3000 (probably a 134). If it has an 8sp trans you might be able to get by, but I...

    820 1957 backhoe

    On my 64 4000, the ID plate on the backhoe was on top of the swing joint. My loader ID plate was on the side on the bracket where it angles down to the bucket.

    4000 hydraulics

    I would say aftermarket, but I do not know the options Ford offered for that tractor. You can put a remote valve on most old Ford tractors, ones I am familiar with have the lever pointing froward, but those are for older fords (all depends on how the lift body is designed I guess).

    Front end weight for 3000

    Because amazingly you can buy older and rebuild/refurbish and still come out cheaper. Actually I think it is an inherited disorder or a gean mutation that makes us think older is better, equipment salesmen hate these mutated individuals!

    WEAK THREE POINT LIFT

    Rob, did you make sure the valve body is sealed tightly against the top plate. I have a 64 2000 and it was leaking around the mounting plate....hence no pressure

    4000 hydraulics

    Charlie, I am not an expert on your particular model however the small lever that is vertical in your photo appears to be the draft control, and yes when you push it down the 3 point is in draft mode (has no position). On my tractor this lever is closer to horizontal. The valve on top that the...

    64 ford 4sp stuck between gears

    Thanks John I said I must have chipped a tooth, well I took the top cover back off and there are 3 teeth missing on what I perceive to be 3rd gear not to mention the counter shaft I can't see. Couple this with the TO bearing and front seal and a transmission rebuild is in order! I can weld and...
