    Ford 4000 SOS shifter

    The part is an especially brittle aluminum which is disappointing- though maybe designed to save transmission from over eager operators. Thank you for the info Sean. i’ll look into this. Here is another forum on similar issue. May try a similar fix, roll pins seem like a good idea...

    Ford 4000 SOS shifter

    Thanks gentlemen. I called the other day and they found an SOS part at the big junkyard in pennsylvania.. The SOS looks similar, but different, so I wanted to run it by you guys, not sure if the shaft I need is buried in there. Also, the part was a bit too pricey for my liking- I was considering...

    Ford 4000 SOS shifter

    Wellll, after many repairs and quick fixes I finally stripped the shifter shaft (part #13 in diagram) for my 4000 Select o Speed while in the yard gunning for yet another quick fix😂. Some of you might know what I’m talking about, basically what happens is the (once upon a time) coarse edge of...

    Rusty Rear Wheel 1968 Ford 4000

    Hey all, It is finally time to change out my rear wheel. The Ballast has mostly leaked out over the years but not before rendering the rim useless. It has 8 lugs and looks like the center is still good but riveted on instead of bolted (so needs to be cut?) I got a quote from the local...

    Power Steering Bracket Bolt

    Looking for bolt that mounts the Power steering bracket to the body of my '68 Ford 4000. Lost one while working and bent the bracket. Fixed bracket but bolt is proving difficult to find. It looks to be 1 3/4" long and the hex is 1 1/8". I figured you all would have some good insight for thread...

    3 cyl 1968 4000 select-o-speed stripped input shaft

    Thanks guys, I messaged you royse. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have/know where to find a part number for that input shaft? I realize its hard to find but I cant even locate a picture of the thing other than the 1959-64 version on John Smith's website.

    Selecto speed disconnect

    If the splines are stripped is that fixable? or should I just bury her? I've read that spline piece is hard to find.. let alone install.

    Ford 4000 spindle removal

    Thanks for the help everyone, got the spindle off yesterday per your recommendation- just hit it harder. New spindle on the way with bearings and bushings. After brushing the "axle knee" out, it has some scoring but the bushings seem to be removable with some more scrubbing and careful prying...

    Ford 4000 spindle removal

    So I've been working on the steering on my tractor off and on for the past few months, steers hard and pump seems to heat up fast when I turn wheel. I have been taking care to not blow pump so only tried briefly with linkage attached to steering system/wheels. I have raised front end and had...
