    Ford 5000 power steering reservoir cap

    I have lost the cap to the reservoir on my ‘66 5000. I added fluid and failed to put it back on before I started bush hogging and cannot find it. I have looked online for a replacement but can’t find one anywhere. I did find this exploded diagram that shows it is item 48 Does anyone know where...

    ‘66 5000 PTO won’t shut off

    So the PTO always stays on no matter if the lever is in off or on position. Even if I have brush hog connected to it, and even if I run it in tall grass and lower the throttle down until tractor bogs down. I’m going to get into it at some point, but want to know what direction I need to go...

    5000 power assist steering problem

    Having problems with my power assist steering on my ‘66 SOS 5000. The day after I bush hogged my field I went out to do some more and immediately the tractor wouldn’t steer to the left at all. Steering right was just fine no problem. Lifted the front end with the FEL and it steered fine both...

    No oil pressure after rebuild

    Ok, I was finally able to get around to rebuilding my ?66 5000 SOS. New crankshaft and everything. New oil pump. After I got it all together, it started fine. After checking for leaks and seeing none, I ran it for a few hours to get her warmed up good. Next day I ran it again for a few hours...

    Oil pump pressure relief valve

    I?ve got a new oil pump I?m putting in my ?66 5000. My old pump never had the pressure relief valve in it...no spring screw or anything. I seem to remember reading or hearing somewhere that it?s not necessary to have it in the pump, but that just don?t make sense to me. What is right? I...

    1710 4 wheel drive

    I have a neighbor friend who somehow had the front axle ?fall off? while bush hogging. He has found most of the replacement parts except the driveshaft. Two questions:can the old one be repaired from being bent a little? Secondly, can he just not put the shaft in and use it as a 2WD tractor...

    Buying all new wiring for 5000

    I need to redo the wiring on my ?66 5000 SOS. None of it has ever worked since I owned it and it?s time to get it done. I plan on just buying a new harness and new instrument panel, and already have a new alternator. One thing I don?t have currently is the regulator. Is it necessary/should I...

    Fuel line on 5000

    I have a ?66 5000 diesel SOS. What size is the fuel line from the tank to the lift pump? The one that?s on it is 1/4?, and wondering if it should be 5/16.

    Lift pump...not lifting?

    Trying to bleed the fuel lines in my 66 5000 SOS, and not getting any fuel TO the filters. Good flow to the lift pump, but while pumping the lever, no fuel gets to the filter at all. I have taken off the line from the lift pump to the filters after pumping the lever a bunch (over 50-100 times)...

    My seized up new rebuild

    So I was finally able to get around to taking my engine apart again. No blown head gasket, no water in the cylinders, oil pump worked, main bearings and journals looked fine, but 3 of the 4 rod bearings/journals were all messed up. I did order the right bearings after all as they are 1 over...

    New rebuild...I think I got problems!

    So I finally got my slow cranking starter problem fixed by putting on a new one. She cranked fast and hard! Got the lines bled and she fired right up! Throttle up and down just a little and all sounded perfect. Set her to slow idle to let it run awhile to warm up and after a minute or so...

    Back to my starter cranking issue

    So I took all the nuts and washers off the stud going into the starter last night to see what was there. All is good except that instead of a Bakelite sleeve around the stud as is goes thru starter housing, there is a rubber sleeve to insulate the stud from the housing. Being rubber there is...

    Engine cranking slow

    I?ve tried and tried to figure out what?s going on with my newly rebuilt ?66 5000 SOS diesel. It will just not crank fast enough to fire it up. I?ve cleaned and made sure everything is ?bright and tight?. Had the starter checked out twice. New battery cables. Battery tests fine. I?ve got it...

    Fuel delivery issue

    Having s problem with my ?66 5000 SOS dying. It will start and restart just fine, but will not stay running. It has new filters and good fuel flow at the lift pump. When I start for first time, it?ll run for 5-10 seconds, start again and it?ll run 10-15 seconds, again and if I keep throttle low...

    Two questions after a fresh rebuild

    Just started my ?66 5000 SOS, and have a couple problems. 1) tractor will only run a short time before it dies. 10-15 seconds at first, then it?ll stay running a few minutes. I?m guessing this is a fuel delivery issue, so I will be draining tank and looking at screen first. New filters, so the...

    Hey Bern

    You?ve been helping me with my wiring problem on my 5000. Wanted to start a new thread to make sure you could answer my question. I have taken the tape off of all the harnesses to trace wires. I have isolated the wire that is supposed to go from the key switch to the regulator through the plug...
