    SOS 4000 Rear Axle Swap & Spare Parts

    Just picked up a 4000 parts tractor with an SOS trans to use for parts on my 4500 and I'm curious what of the rear axle is the same. I know the ratio is different, but it looks like that is in the ring & pinion and the planetaries are the same - is this correct? Assuming this is the case...

    3500 3 Point to 4500?

    Will the rear end cover/3 point lift assembly from a 3500 fit on a 4500? Both are 1967 w/ 3 cylinder diesel. The 3500 is a SOS trans, 4500 is a 4x4 manual reversing type. I'm thinking of selling the 3500 to reduce the collection a bit and since the 4500 will do a bit more, but the one thing...

    3500 SOS Trans Cooling & Backhoe Hydraulic Pump Question

    I've got a 1967 3500 Ford with the SOS trans and fitted with 735 loader & 723 backhoe. Couple questions that I'm lumping into one thread - 1) The tractor does not currently have a trans cooler on it. How hard is it to fit one? As near as I can tell it came this way from the factory - no...

    4500 Injection Pump Issue

    I recently picked up a 4500 with a no start issue and it's got me stumped. Story from the previous owner is that it would run fine, always started, never had any problems and then on time after it sat for a year or so it wouldn't start. He fiddled with some things then got busy and gave up...

    Case Forums to Sell Manuals

    Recently wound up with a large number of Case parts manuals for tractors and equipment dating to the 40s-60s that I'm looking to sell, so looking for suggestions on forums/sites that cater to Case collectors to list them on. I'm not a Case guy, so no ideas on where to start myself. Thanks...

    IH T-340 Questions

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I picked up a IH T-340A with a Drott loader setup. The serial number plate appears to be missing, so I can't pin down an exact year. It has 5 roller racks so I believe it is a 340A. Seems to be in decent condition except for having some hydraulic issues and...

    OC-3/HG Crawler Value

    Just brought home a T-340 IH loader so the other mini dozer (OC-3/HG) I had is going up for sale - looking for advice on a reasonable price for it and any suggestions on any Oliver/Cletrac specialty boards that might be good to advertise it on. I was never able to find a sn to verify the...

    What did I buy? (Crawler Id)

    Put down a deposit on an old little crawler today. No idea what it is though, wondering if anyone has an idea. It's a 4 cyl gasser, looks like a flathead. Exhaust is obviuously cobbled together, and the blade made be as well. Looks like the bottom of the grill was removed when they put the...

    SOS Parts Source

    Looking for the output shaft and coupling sleeve for a 66 3500 SOS trans - anyone have one or have an idea where to find them? I'd expect most junkyard wouldn't want to mess with transmission internals but would just sell the trans whole. <Coupling PN C5NN4777A, item 55 on FHN diagram...

    3500 3 Point

    Looking to put a 3 point on my 3500 but uncertain what's the best way to get the parts for it. The tractor appears to have always had the backhoe on it, but it does have the hydraulics for the 3 point, so it would just be a matter of finding all the arms, link, mounts, etc. What other tractors...

    SOS Trans Work

    How much of a PIA is it to work on one of these? How many special tools required? The unit in my backhoe (65(?) 3500) seems to have a broken or disconnected forward band - about 1/2 of the gears don't work. Those that do work seem to to work properly and there doesn't seem to be any other...

    Used Backhoe Valve Source?

    Looks like the valve body on my 723 Ford hoe (3500 tractor) is shot - I've got cracks between 2 of the valve bores on the front face and my attempt to weld it didn't work. Any thoughts on where to find a good used valve? Not sure but I'd think most any open center manual backhoe valve should...

    Ford 723 Backhoe Valve Body

    Anyone know of a good source for a used 723 control valve? Turns out that the major hydraulic leak I thought was a blown hose is actually a couple a cracks in the valve body. One I think I can weld but the other is on the top and intersects 2 of the spool bores so I don't think welding is...

    Cletrac W

    What's the market like for a parts/restoration candidate tractor? I picked up what I'm pretty sure is a late 20's (sn 25688) model 'W' (based on 3 lower track rollers and general design) project tractor this weekend. Supposedly it was running some ~20 years ago but had some sort of a problem...

    3500 SOS Problem

    Can't find my earlier thread on this issue so we'll start over... I've got a 65 3500 w/ loader and backhoe. It sat for better than 10 years due to getting water in the bores after a partial head job and I bought it as a project tractor from a man who had bought it broke and never actually...

    3500 SOS Problems

    Tractor is a 65 3500 SOS unit. It sat for better than 10 years with a bad motor - just got done rebuilding the motor and now dealing with all the other issues. About half the gears on the trans don't seem to be working right. R2 for sure and some of the forward gears the motor loads down...

    723 Backhoe Valve Seal

    Been working on getting my 3500 back to working order again - now it runs but I'm chasing down all the hydraulic gremlins. I've wound up replacing all the loader hoses and 3/4 of the backhoe ones, but now it looks like it blew one of the backhoe valve spool seals. Does anyone have the part...

    3500 Fuel Issue

    Got an issue with a Ford 3500 tractor I'm rebuilding and wanted to get some thoughts. It's a 65 3500, 172 diesel with a inline injection pump (Simms Minimec) I bought it as a basket case with the head off and significant rust in the bores. Seems the head was pulled about 10 years ago and...

    Tell me I picked the right one - 3500 oil pan gaskets

    Putting the motor back together for my 65 Ford 3500 TLB (3 cly diesel) and come to find the lower gasket set I have includes 2 oil pan gaskets, one think (~1/8") and the other thin (normal paper gasket thickness) but otherwise identical in all respects. The only thing I can figure is that one if...

    Ford 3500 Engine Rebuild & Questions

    I got the engine out of my 3500 this weekend and am now getting into the actual rebuild. I did not wind up having the remove the loader, just split the tractor and rolled the front end forward about 8", just far enough to clear the trans input shaft and then lifted the motor out. Questions...
