    3400 power steering issues

    Lots of things... did any of the little poppets or valve and springs get put in the wrong place in the hydraulic valve in the steering box???? or turned upside down? Did you replace the bottom bearing in the steering box and or make sure it was there and not damaged as it places the shaft in...

    2000 Gas Battery Size/Group

    Couple of thoughts... Car batteries are cheaper and often last longer. BUT!!!!!!! If you buy the taller batteries, the top of the hood will touch the battery posts and short out the battery. SO measure carefully and always put the shorter batteries in your tractor!. ALSO the positive cable is...

    Ford 641 - Water temp probe rusted off in the head

    being that they are usually soft copper, I would try to metal screw or a tap to snag it,, if not bend it over and out of the way into the coolant chamber so a new one can now fit.

    Grease suggestions

    My two cubcadets/ blade spindles have SEALED bearing and still have a grease fitting. And since I have to mow weekly down here, I have to replace the blade spindles on a regular basis. They are not known to be long lasting despite what ever grease I use. Especially the "left" spindle where...

    Ford 3000 diesel rebuilt Simms injector pump - still fuel starved

    Also the side fuel pumps on the simms pump can have a bad diaphram or stuck valve. The replacement pumps are pretty cheaply made.

    buyer beware reliableaftermarketpartsinc

    I have ordered lots of parts from them with good results. However from another vendor I ordered a tractor cab door.... and got a huge pallet and enough 2/4s to build a small barn, along with the door. SO it price of the door was more for the small building than it was for the actual part.

    Motor Oil...

    HONDA seems to be the only manufacture who has the 20w oil under control with no damage...per most the forums... "Corporate Average Fuel Economy" controls how many big and profitable cars you can sell. Thus many small cars are sold at very low margin to increase sales,,, to boost the "cafe"...

    Motor Oil...

    5w20s are for" CAFE", so they can sell more big cars. It not about engine wear anymore as most all engine last over 100,000 miles easily. Test show that you can get 1% or more.. fuel economy. Look at the very same vehicle oil recommendations in other countries that dont have a "CAFE" standard.

    Motor Oil...

    T4 has heavy heavy heavy alkali content to fight acids,,,, that also doubles as a super cleaner. You simply cleaned all the goop and sludge out of the briggs and now it can breathe.

    Another "what is it"

    have seen something similar for pulling lamp bulbs on a switchboard. But the fingers are too curved for a lamp puller.

    ford 3000 pto cable

    I bought a used sos control and cable off a earlier model and it also fit the 3000 perfectly. So some of the earlier parts WILL work.
