    Ford 4000 motor 3 cylinder rpms crazy

    My 1970 4000 gas is all original. It has the generator and works great. It has a cable driven tachometer i believe. Just got it running again and was wondering what the average high rpm. This tractor has a lot of Ball at low rpm.

    Steering wheel restoration on my John Deere 650 1987.

    The wheel is just sun damage. No cracks just discolored in places. I read there is a chemical process to restore the plastic to look better. Is this better than repainting. Or what about Truck bed liner. Let me know what you guys do.

    1970 ford 4000 coil / no spark

    Yes it is does have the tab to lock in place. I was just surprised to see the fiber washer and star washer to fit under the rotor inside the top of the dust cap round top. Hope I explained correctly.

    1970 ford 4000 coil / no spark

    I guess I always assumed the router end would touch the plug terminals or be very close. The big problem is the tractor is up in the mountains 2 hrs from here. And try to prepare everything and have correct sucks.
