    3600 Muffler / Exhaust Options

    When I went to vertical on a 3910, I forget where I found it, but I found a used vertical hood section (factory vertical hole) somewhere so that I didn't have to cobble a hole in the existing rear exhaust system. Did have to change the manifold on that tractor but I think earlier models of the...

    Observation at 7-11 today..

    Years ago I was in the checkout line in a grocery store behind a "free food" person. Interesting how she manipulated the purchased items to inadvertently buy junk food with stamps.

    Long 610 - 1st oil change?

    My experience is watch the coolant temp. Work it hard with up and down RPMs (gradual adjustment over time, not immediate cycling) for at least the first 10 hours. If the coolant shows signs of excessive engine heat, back off the RPMs/load till it cools down and go after it again, Change the...

    Boat Batteries

    The local International OTR dealer buys 1000 CCAs, 3/8" stud post 31s by the skid and sells them cheap since they buy bulk, one size. Down side is they aren't deep cycle if one is looking for a trolling motor battery.

    Battery Chargers...

    Dirt daubers just love to crawl inside equipment to build their nests. Most vulnerable are fan blades. Also had one electric motor burn up on a drill press because of a mud nest blocking rotation. Replacement had a screen shroud I built to keep pests out......air compressor and band saw...

    What kind of tractor is this?

    The members of this forum are absolutely, "mind boggling"........I can't believe the amount of knowledge the participants possess. Absolutely amazing and happy to contribute what little I know about trying to learn to farm since 1979.

    Three point hitch hydraulics

    The bracket in which the right hand lever is mounted, has the word "light" moulded into it and an arrow pointing to the rear meaning if you want the plow to just skip along the ground have it up....toward the rear. If you want to do some serious plowing, or if you want your 3 PT lift to work...

    New fuel filter assembly

    I just went through this. I disconnected the fuel line between the tank and the assembly. Not wanting to strip any threads in the aluminum assembly, I tightened the connector at the filter assembly good and tight but not too tight. In short the filter appeared to be leaking at the seals. I...

    3600 Muffler / Exhaust Options

    I do see the curve into the head but sitting out in any kind of storm, I'd be skeptical on the curve filling with water but none gets into an exhaust valve and subsequently cause problems especially on a Diesel. I have 84 and 65 HP tractors with curved exhaust and I don't like them...but I keep...

    3600 Muffler / Exhaust Options

    The extension is the right answer.....I have the 3600 with the horizontal system and it is noisy and has the potential to start a grass fire. I converted a 2000 from horizontal to vertical and it wasn't that hard. On the long outlet in the enclosed photo, install the long extension after you...

    New steering cylinders

    I just bought a '80-90s era CIH 895with sealed tips and they are still sealed and smooth operating. Also have an '89ish Ford 3600 and the same applies. If you need grease they either have slack then you rotate the steering of the cylinder, or you feel a grinding, rough rotation. I have...

    Haybine question

    I bought a used Ford 535 9 footer a few years ago for $1700 from a used equipment dealer. Put a new belt on the wobble box, redid the hydraulic cylinder packing, and replaced one of the (stretched) drive chains. Biggest problem was replacing the belt but it wasn't a game changer to replace...
