    Ford 4000 3-Cylinder Diesel Engine.

    The 3 cylinder diesels from the 400's were great little engines for their size. lots of power for just a 3 cylinder. they will get down and work too. Factory cooling wasn't the greatest on them. The motor could outwork the radiator system, especially if dirty. As for towing capacity...

    1966 Ford 4000 Fuel Filters.

    While the WIX 33166 will fit it and probably do just fine, They do not have a sleeve in the center or holes in the bottom of them and thus, They do not completely work they way the system is designed to. The system is designed to push raw fuel through the center of the filter and allowing...

    Ford 8700/9700 hydraulic pressure test port location

    Finally got the ole 8700 rebuild and put back together, Drove it home last weekend. All seems to be functioning fine but the speeds in 8th gear with the DP in direct mode seemed a little slow to me. Seemed much closer to the speeds referenced on the sticker when the dp is in under-drive...

    8700 PTO shaft seal and bearing replacement

    UGH... I figured this was going to be the case. Simply removing the shaft and replacing a bearing would be too easy for this tractor. The play is most definitely up/down and side/side. I have never been into the axle of one of these tractors, but I do have a service manual. I am assuming...

    CAV Injector tip specs or differences

    I am working on a ford tractor with a 401 diesel engine. I need to replace some injector tips, so I am just going to replace all 6. Years ago the tractor dropped a valve and that injector tip was replaced at that time. This one is a different number from all the rest. 5 of them are...

    Ford 8700 PTO gearbox oil drain

    Since the PTO is in a separate compartment, Where do you fill it from? Mine only has a level plug on the side. The dipstick and fill tube on the back are for the rear-end/hydraulics correct?

    Ford 87/9700 injector tips

    Hello all, I am trying to revive an older Ford 8700. It has set for a while and the injectors were gummed up. I have taken them apart and cleaned them. The tips that are on it now are CAV BDll150s6666. I will probably end up replacing them when I put things back together. I have read on...
