    64 ford 2000 tractor alternator question

    Buy a coil that is labeled "12V No External Resistor Required". You can hook that one directly to the IGN switch. If not, you will need a ballast resistor (Standard Ignition part number RU10 or equivalent.

    3000 3-Point Inop

    To start with, I am working on a 1965 Ford 3000 with an 8-Speed and a Live PTO. I rebuilt the top cover assembly a couple months ago and everything was working great... then had to pull the top cover again to work on getting the PTO out of the belly. When everything went back together, the...

    6 volt to 12 volt

    Nothing in the system is going to care about ground polarity except the coil and gauges. The ammeter will read backward as will the fuel gauge. All you need to do is swap the wires to each of them and they will work properly. Remember to change any bulbs on the tractor to 12v bulbs and use a...

    3000 PTO Shaft

    After 3 hours of Dremel work, I was able to get the old shaft out of the belly of the beast. I ended up having to remake the splines on the input end so it would slide back through the coupler and out of the back of the tractor... Lemme tell ya, that was no fun at all. Good news is, the PTO...

    3000 PTO Shaft

    3000 PTO Shaft

    I've got an extra PTO coupler that I can fasten to the end of the slide hammer and go to town on it. I went ahead and ordered a complete PTO assembly from YT to eliminate any other variables that may come up when trying to fix this thing, and I'll update y'all on how it comes out. Probably...

    3000 PTO Shaft

    Thanks a lot guys. I know this thing has been abused in the past due to the bent PTO clutch fork and shifter arm. Before I replaced those two it wouldn't even engage the PTO. So, it sounds like I'm fighting the connection between the shaft and the coupler? Would a slide hammer on the end...

    3000 PTO Shaft

    I am in the process of rebuilding a '66 3000 and am currently working on the PTO shaft. I understand that the PTO bearing is supposed to be captive in the rear housing, but the one that I'm working on is not. I pulled the four bolts on the rear housing expecting to be able to pull the entire...
