    Power steering pump Ford 4000

    It is a nce pic, but it doesn't give me much information regarding parts that are missing (and not in the picture.) I'm assuming that your tractor is some version of a 1964 4000 series tractor. They all seemed to use Eaton pumps, but the parts inside the reservoir varied with the exact...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    In "normal" operation of the tractor I do not attempt to shift gears until the tractor is completely stopped, and there is no grinding of gears. On rare occasions, the tractor gets "hung up" in wet ground and I attempt to rock it back and forth until it is no longer stuck. The tractor is not...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    Sorry for the delay in reporting back. I was down at my country place (where the tractor is located) for the last 2 1/2 weeks. I don't have any grinding sounds when shifting gears or engaging the PTO as long as the tractor is stopped. I checked the clutch adjustment per the manual and it...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    i'm still old, sick, 100 miles away from my tractor, and suffering the effects of old age. I'm not an engineer and have never torn down a 70+ year old tractor. What Tony says sounds good to my uneducated mind, but the constant mention of "turning" and/or "spinning" has me a little confused...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    Thanks to all for the advice. I will try adjusting the clutch when the time seems appropriate. Today doesn't seem appropriate since I have a summer cold, the temperatures are forecast for the 90's. the tractor is about 100 miles away, and my ambition seems to dwindle as I approach my 79th...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    When the PTO and/or shifter are "locked up", neither handle will move more than a tiny amount. I was guessing that something was not disengaging. I haven't tried to adjust the clutch in the 20+ years I've owned it and suspect prior owners weren't any more religious about adjusting things. I...

    Ford 640 problems shifting and engaging PTO

    I've owned a 1955 Ford 640 for a little over 20 years. I use it almost exclusively with a finish mower (and no overrunning PTO clutch). In the past couple of years, it has become harder to shift gears and/or engage or disengage the PTO while I am stopped on some occasions. I seem to notice...

    LS55 New Holland Lawn Tractor - Hydraulic Lift

    I'm a geezer with insomnia. A search shows the New Holland LS55 was made by Toro/Wheelhorse for NH. It is nearly the same as models 269H and 270H sold as Toro and/or Wheelhorse. A search on that model disclosed a youtube video refurbishing the hydraulic pump assembly for a Wheelhorse...

    Frustrating fuel issue...

    I had the same problem on my Ford 640. Once I had ruled out fuel problems I decided to replace the coil. When I tried to disconnect the hot wire to the coil, it broke while I was holding it. It turned out that the stranded wire had frayed inside the insulation. After running about a half...

    1964 ford 4140 industrial , worth fixing ??? New to tractors

    TractorData has a serial number list for many tractors. Who knows how accurate their lists are or whether they refer to calendar or model years. The list shows the beginning serial number for the year. Yours would be a 1958.

    This video of adding a 3 point hitch to a 1946 model 22 might provide some inspiration.

    Looking for 3pt front lower brackets picture and dementions 52 mustang looking for 3pt front lower brackets picture and dementions 52 wife tractor tks

    Some further searching suggests that a 3-point hitch may have been an available option. An old ad shows a 2024 auction listing a 1953 Mustang with a 3 point hitch. The ad has some pretty good pictures that don't look very similar to my Ford 600...

    Looking for 3pt front lower brackets picture and dementions 52 mustang looking for 3pt front lower brackets picture and dementions 52 wife tractor tks

    The Massey Harris model 23 (Mustang) did not come with a 3 pt hitch. I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to fit a 3 pt hitch from another tractor to yours? Maybe this post might provide some guidance. https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/massey-harris-3-point.65954/

    861-L

    I haven't examined the stamped model and serial numbers on many Ford tractors. I saw this one advertised on Facebook. What does the "L" signify?
