    Ford 3000 spark plug wires

    It took me some time to find my problem but finally discovered my 1975 Ford 3000 gas engine has faulty plug wires. This is just an old work tractor for me but I need it to operate dependably. I tuned it with new plugs, points, rotor, condenser, cap, and wires. Bottom line is the spark is...

    Ford 3000 ignition issue

    I will definitely do the connectivity test on the points. Just for information, the points I took out looked very good and it now has new points. Still wondering about the wire from coil to distributor but will test for both. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

    Ford 3000 ignition issue

    I am thinking along those lines. If correct, I guess I should be looking at the wire that connects the coil and the distributor. I see only the one wire. I will try to disconnect it at each end, then do continuity check on the wire. I will also see if the wire is somehow connecting to a ground...

    Ford 3000 - Exhaust & tractor number

    Thanks, and I have learned that it is a 1975 model. The 5 at the beginning of the manufacturing date threw me, but both the 1065 and the 1975 model started that date with 5. The tractor number shows it is a 1975. Thanks for your reply.

    Ford 3000 - Exhaust & tractor number

    I also have the following model number which is on the label on the underside of the engine hood and on the transmission case - C1023C. The unit number shown is 5K24B, which. Think means it was made in 1965 rather than 1975. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Ford 3000 - Exhaust & tractor number

    I recently acquired what is supposedly a 1975 Ford 3000 gasoline tractor. I have two questions about this tractor. 1 - The exhaust is horizontal but extends to the rear axle, and the rear clamp directly behind the muffler is attached to a bracket that puts the muffler next to the the left...
