    Alternator light quit working

    I finally got my 3000 ford diesel heat and fuel gauge working. Then my alternator light would not work. Checked the alternator and it wasn't charging. Two weeks later the parts re-builder had it fixed. Got it on the tractor and the light still won't work. Swapped bulbs with the oil light and the...

    They gave me a full refund on the Ford voltage stabilizer. In the picture, you can see why it didn't work. 12 volts in 12 volts out.

    New voltage stabilizer bad

    I put the new voltage stabilizer on the ford 3000. The voltage doesn't change, stays a constant 12 volts. Did not hook it up wrong, I hope they will exchange it for another one. That seems to be my luck lately. Did get the oil and filter changed, new thermostat and coolant put in, it needed it.

    303 fluid in 3000 ford

    I am changing my transmission and hydraulic fluid in my ford 3000. I have read that you can put the same fluid in both places. If so is 303 ok for the 3000? Thank you.

    Ford 3000 temp gauge

    I bought a 8560 Mahindra several years ago so the 3000 has not been used much, moving hay in the winter mostly. I got it out to load on the trailer to bushhog another property and the temp gauge was reading right at the hot mark. I put a thermometer in the radiator and it read 170 degrees. Is my...
