Ford 3000 loading up
I've got a 1968 Ford 3000 gas model that is having a fuel problem. After an hour or so of working with any kind of load on it, the engine seems to bog down, it starts missing and losing power. I have to take the load off to keep it running and then the missing cylinder(s) start firing again... -

Proper next step?
1955 Ford 640 converted to 12 volt many years ago. It's been starting and running fine but the battery showed signs of getting weak - laboring to turn the motor over even after being connected to a float charger. Two weeks ago I was topping clover with it and it died on me. At first I could... -

JD Backhoe running at high idle with key off and out
I have a new to me 1988 John Deere 310C backhoe. It has about 7000 hours and starts and runs fine. I've only had it for a month or two and only used it for about 10 hours to this point. Haven't really gotten to know it yet and this is my first diesel. Was out using it this morning for about...- RedDawg

I don't own my tractor?
I suppose for our older stuff this doesn't apply but I guess I didn't realize I didn't own my tractors. http://modernfarmer.com/2016/07/right-to-repair/ As a biker and the past president of a state motorcycle rights organization we went through this as well. Several states have been... -

40' Shipping Container VS Ford 3000 ....
Had to move a 40' shipping container about 15 feet to get it out from under a power line. The original delivery truck couldn't get it as far back as needed. It may not look like it but the move was slightly inclined. I used some black locust logs as rollers and some 3/4" plywood. At... -

3 Point Hitch Blower
I didn't even know this existed for a 3 point hitch. Are these used for seed drying? Just trying to figure out what I'd use it for on my 640 (since I'm not a cash crop farmer). http://nashville.craigslist.org/grd/5468053505.html It's so close I'm going to have to go over and take a look... -

Ford 3000 missing under load
I got a 1968 Ford 3000 gasser last year but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to put it under a good load. I went through it when I first got it replacing fluids and adjusting things. It only got used a few hours bush hogging and such. Yesterday and today I was pulling a Ford 2-14 plow... -

Putting 'new to me' 3000 to work
Got this '68 Ford 3000 last year with its main issues being loss of power in the high torque band (blow black smoke and choke out), loose steering and a bad rear tire. Found a nearly new tire for next to nothing, replaced some left side steering components and did a full tune up and fluid change... -

Zenith Carb Question for rustyfarmall
Over on the Ford board I was told you would have an answer for me. I have a Ford 3000 with a Zenith Type 67 carb. It has a fixed main jet (#29) and a plug (#27) The only adjustable main jet I can find (#27A) is a Zenith 71-28 but it isn't listed for my carb. I really need to adjust the...- RedDawg

Ford 3000 Fuel Problem - Part 3
Okay, finally got a rebuild kit for this Zenith carb. I believe it is a Type 67 but I'm not sure. There are no markings and the tag is gone. The float was definitely bad. It was all soldered up. So, the rebuild was much needed I suspect. I also installed a choke cable. I got it fired up... -

Which Zenith Carb Kit?
Can't get the parts people from Yesterday's Tractors on the phone (hold for 20 minutes and then the automated machine apologizes and kicks you off) so maybe someone here can answer the question. There are two carb kits for the Zenith carb out there. One is a Tune Up Kit... -

Ford 3000 - Zenith Carb
Pulled the carb on this '68 Ford 3000 and it turns out the tag on the Zenith carb is broken off. Anyone know the model number of the standard replacement Zenith carb for the 3000? I want to make sure to the get the rebuild kit. Thanks. -

Ford 3000 Fuel Problem - Redux
Ok, got a chance to put my new to me 1968 Ford 3000 gasser to work over the weekend. Yes, that inline 'thing' is a replacement fuel pump. It's a Carter Carotor which you can see here: http://carterfuelsystems.com/fuelpumps/universal_fp.php. Mine looks just like that with the filter and... -

Ford 3000 Fuel Question
Finally getting to 'play' with the new to me 1968 Ford 3000 gasser I picked up a few weeks ago. One thing I noticed when looking it over then was that there was no choke cable. There is an in-line fuel filer and what I believe is an electronic fuel pump. It is connected to ground and a stud on... -

Hydraulics Chattering
New to me 1968 Ford 3000 gasser. Everything worked great when I got it. Decided to change all fluids to make sure I had a base line. After changing the rear differential/hydraulic fluids the 3 point hitch wouldn't lift. Waited an hour and now it responds but it chatters all the way up. I have... -

New to me Ford 3000 - which manual?

Hydraulic Pressure on 640
I've a 1955 640 with the original vane pump. When it gets warm it struggles to lift the FEL with fresh fluid and all. I've thought about swapping out the pump as it is probably tired. I've thought about simply using a heavier fluid. But I figure I should do some diagnosis first. I've got one of... -

Ford 3000 - your impressions
Going to see this on Saturday. He actually had this listed a couple of days ago at $2550 and then quickly relisted it for $2900. I currently have a 640 with a Fasco loader without PS. Will that loader work on this 3000? (I suspect not.) What do you think of the tractor from this little...
