    What I have learned. Sorta OT Long

    <<"How the **** are you supposed to watch behind you and then in front at the same time?" >> Sit at an angle with your left forearm on the steering wheel and your right arm on the right fender. Bend over slightly and look at the row by the front tire and follow it with your eyes as it goes...

    641D 3pt Hitch Bracket question

    Looks like a stabilizer bar. If so, bracket for other end should be up under the axle. It is meant to keep implement from swaying.

    1970 Ford 3000 Instruments

    Wires should be color coded, eg. : Power = white : Ground = black Temp Sender = Green-Blue : Fuel Sender = Green-Black Oil Pressure = White-Brown Look at the color of the wire going to each sensor and then match that color to the appropriate pin on the cluster. In addition there should be one...

    Dimensions for Cat.I and Cat.II implements

    If you are not already doing it, consider using a stabilizer bar which runs from underneath one of the axles to the end of one of the lift arms (mine is on left hand side as you sit on the tractor). That should limit the amount of sway. On my 3000 the implement width is approximately 32...

    Ford3000_HolleyToZenith

    Thanks for the info. I have already contacted Mr.Farmer and placed an order. He was also recommended by 3000OH. Apparently this gentleman modifies the Zenith 13914 so that it will fit an early 3000 (effectively changing it to a 13916). I appreciate everyone's help.

    Ford3000_HolleyToZenith

    I am trying to rebuild a 1966 Ford 3000 gas tractor, 3 cylinder, and it looks as if I may have to replace the original Holley carburetor (tractor will not start and fuel pours from float area). Upon disassembly the needle is worn. Carburetor looks like it has never been rebuilt. I have heard...

    Ford3000_PlungerGuidePin

    I took the Soundguy's advice and re-threaded the end of the pin after smoothing on a grinder. The seat has been installed. Thanks to both of you.

    Ford3000_PlungerGuidePin

    I was trying to put a new seat on my Ford 3000 and noticed when I removed the old one that the rear bolt did not have a nut. Upon closer inspection the threads appeared to be damaged, so I decided to replace it. The old "bolt" was difficult to remove and required the use of a pipe wrench...

    Ford3000_clutchPedalBushingsRemoval

    Thank you, Old Ford Mechanic, for the tip. An air chisel with splitting bit does indeed make short work of this problem. One piece of advice that I would give to anyone else trying this is to keep a low attack angle so that the chisel does not gouge the inside of the pedal. We made this...

    Ford3000_clutchPedalBushingsRemoval

    I am trying to repair a 1966 Ford 3000 (gas) and have removed the brake cross shaft because of excessive bushing wear in the clutch pedal. Currently I am unable to budge the old bushings using a hammer and chisel. Are there any tricks to removing these without resorting to more brute force...
