    Bad Noise in 3000 D

    Earlier today working the driveway with the blade a couple of times I had a strange noise but only in reverse. Later hooked up the bush-hog and was in the field I started getting it occasionally going forward. After I got the recording device it didn't do it fro some time. Now it seems to be...

    3000 D Hyd. Pump

    Hi All, The lift on my 65, 3000 has been having times lately when it refuses to pick up. This is during use when everything is warm. If I just wait and work the lever it will eventually start working again. Has been around a year since I put a cover kit in and cleaned the filter and new oil...

    3000 PS, Install, Extra parts?

    I just finished installing the Turkey kit from Craftons. Good people to deal with, thanks UD. Realized I have the some extra pieces. 4 appear to be seals, 4 are small aluminum washers and one O ring. Do you think these are spare parts? They aren't mentioned in the instructions and I didn't see...

    Power Steering kit for a 3000, recommendations please

    I'm considering an aftermarket PS add to my 65, 3000D. I would appreciate hearing about any experiences. Looking on Ebay there are a few sellers and the price varies some. Are all these kits from the same place and of the same quality? Seller Bill Crafton seems consistently to have the best...

    3000 Kingpin

    Taking the front wheels off for new tires I noticed play in the front axel. There is a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSp1f7Vfm_U About 1/2" deflection on the bumper, I'm guessing this is excessive? I'm wondering how big a job it would be to fix and what it might cost? I haven't...

    Parking Brake won't hold on 3000

    Does this look like someone used the wrong pawl? It has worked until lately but recently has been failing to hold. Looks like the pawl is a newer part and not the same pitch as the sector which is welded on, or they just aren't meshing at the correct angle. Seems to be only catching on one...

    O.T. Bush-hog busting rocks be gone!

    I've learned a lot here but rarely have anything to contribute to such a deep knowledge pool. I have come up with something that you might enjoy if you have rocky ground. Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZgbNO8us30 There are some other videos there. One system is using 45 long...

    Generator bearing failure 3000D 1965

    Generator locked up today. Got it off and found the front bearing in real bad shape. The questions are if I can find the bearing are there any tricks to removing it? I have a press but not a good idea of what kind of fixture would be needed to remove and reinstall the bearing. Also any tips on...

    Independent 3 pt. Splitter

    On my 3000, I had an 8N when I came by this 3 pt splitter. What made this feasible was a killer deal on the splitter and I had the motor already on a seldom used tool. It's worked out great because it can be unhooked and still used if the tractor is needed for some other operation. 6.5 hp motor...

    3000 lift

    When my recently acquired 65, diesel 3000 came here one of the first things I did was try it out with the bush-hog. I quickly noticed the lift shaking when trying to hold position so after research here I ordered a lift cover gasket set believing the piston ring to be worn. In the meantime I've...

    Hard steering on a 3000

    Hello All, I just looked at a Ford 3000 (1965) diesel as a step up from my 8N. The only problem is the steering on the 3000 makes my 49, 8N seem easy. The seller said someone told him the steering box has a couple of bushings that wear and cause hard steering. The question; is this true or do I...
