    Ford 5000 steering gearbox

    I purchased a different shaft for the PS box, and swapped it out. After replacing the box, rebuilding the spindles, and new outer tie rods, it is much tighter, but I still need to adjust toe in. IT does seem as if the steering has very little input feel or resistance (not sure the proper...

    Ford 5000 steering gearbox

    sort of like herding it in upper gears, and you can imagine 8th, and it has a loader on it (part of the reason it is so worn out. Outer tie rods had 1/4 inch of slop, and the lower bearings in spindles only had the lower race left, and was rolling the edge of the bottom of the knees. I knew...

    Ford 5000 steering gearbox

    Hopefully I have a solution on order as this AM I ordered PN C5NN3A710A (aftermarket shaft), and plan on swapping out the shaft in the aftermarket box. Unfortunately my old box is flat worn out, so no re-using the shaft (wish I could). I had patched it up previously, but about a week ago I...

    Ford 5000 steering gearbox

    I have been digging for info including the link Bern provided, and I am to the point there is a difference.....my tractor is a 65 year model I believe..... and as mentioned has power steering. I purchased a manual box believing they were the same, but so far my research has told me I need to...

    Ford 5000 steering gearbox

    Anyone with experience with steering gearboxes on the early 5000? I mistakenly assumed the manual and power boxes were the same, but found the rotation of the arm on left side it opposite. I purchased a manual box, while my tractor is one of the early power boxes with cylinder under the...

    How many would you hire?

    There has to be some incentive to work to make it attractive. If everyone can sit home, still eat, buy beer, lottery tickets, get healthcare, still afford to get their "tats", raise kids, then there is no real incentive to work (at least for far too many).

    How many would you hire?

    Someone brings up a good point in that we now provide way too much government help these days to those who "should be working" these days. I have always believed that government assistance of any type should be temporary only, and should be for those who fall on hard times, and only until you...

    The wall project/cast your vote?

    Like it, but I admit I was disappointed that it was not "The Wall" underway.

    Do we make to much money

    All depends on how you look at it. I have rented storage, but only for temporary use while I was in process of moving for the most part. On the other hand, renting storage benefits those who invest in building the facilities. Someone once said something that has stuck with me.....if we take...

    OT , new preheat from the dark side

    Neat old truck. A couple years ago I bought the first Ford pickup I had ever owned, and I asked people who knew me to "not hold that against me". Owned a lot of GM pickups, but my first Ford. Not particularly picky about brands, but I still refuse to look at the Dodges. I figure there is...

    Bridge over ditch

    A little overkill for one your size, but see a thread from a post I made. This is a 40 foot semi-trailer. Still using today, although once in a while I run into an experienced UPS or FedEx driver that refuses to cross it (usually only once as if they refuse to drive across that, they are not...

    OT computer question?

    I assume since you were shutting down due to storm you disconnected from power. If this is the case, it is likely you pulled power before the disk was fully down, and prompted this (just an educated guess). I would just allow the disk check to complete, and most likely you are fine. It is...
