    Ford 2000 Power Steering Asst. Cylinder Disassembly

    After trying to beat the thing apart I came to the conclusion it wasn't made to come apart the way the service manual states. Thanks for confirming that. Jim

    Ford 2000 Power Steering Asst. Cylinder Disassembly

    I really appreciate the help Mark, however, this site lists the 3301B for the 1/2 inch rod. I have a 5/8 inch, .625 inch rod. The repair kit I ordered is 3301A for the .625 rod. It is obvious to me the one I received is not right as nothing fits. So is the description (on YT) wrong for...

    Ford 2000 Power Steering Asst. Cylinder Disassembly

    Thanks Shaun. I finally found some very basic instructions in the service manual. It says to remove the two hydraulic lines and then pull the rod out the front. Right now the rod doesn't want to come out as the fluid is holding it where it is. Tomorrow I will pull the lines and see if it...

    Ford 641 Carburetor Float, Has Me Pulling My Hair!

    I am not familiar with the carb you are working on, but I have a fair amount of time working on carbs of other equipment. Is the seat able to be replaced? Is is possible there is a burr or some damage to the seat that is not allowing it to seal properly? I remember one time having to take a...

    Ford 2000 Power Steering Asst. Cylinder Disassembly

    How does this thing come apart so I can replace the seal? I have the snap ring off already but can't find any information about what to do from there. I can usually figure this stuff out but for some reason I am missing something. Thanks. Jim

    Which Seal Kit for Ford 2000 Steering Cylinder

    Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Thanks for the information. My cylinders are different. They have a snap ring in place versus the spanner wrench needed for yours. Mine have a .625 shaft size so I ordered repair kits that mention that size rod. I just got the repair kits today...

    Which Seal Kit for Ford 2000 Steering Cylinder

    Early 70's Ford 2000 with the steering cylinders that have the snap ring on the rod end. One is leaking and I want to make sure I am ordering the right kit. There is a 5 piece kit listed in the parts section of YT and I believe it is about $27. I can see it comes with a snap ring. So is...

    In trouble, need a Zenith expert!

    This is from a '74 Ford 2000. I moved the fuel lines to give the throttle and governor rods some room to move freely. There was interference. I think my carb tag has a date of some time in the '90s. I am guessing that is when the previous owner upgraded the stock carb. Exhaust is on the...

    In trouble, need a Zenith expert!

    Working on the "new" tractor today and moved some fuel lines that were getting in the way of carb operation. I must have dislodged some gunk and I am pretty sure it stuck the float needle open. Gas all over the place and wouldn't stop. Removed the carb and took it apart and started cleaning...

    Looking at Ford 2000, questions.

    Got the 2000 home today and looked it over better and adjusted and tightened a few things. It DOES have a Zenith carb. On the little plate it says I can run it in California. It is an 8 speed. Two shifters on top of the transmission. The throttle lever is very touchy. It seems to go...

    Hard job.

    Hi Ultradog, If I may ask, what is that tractor? Thank you. Jim

    Looking at Ford 2000, questions.

    I didn't notice what it had for a carb. I drove it around some and let it idle. I did not notice anything that would lead me to question the carb during that time. I will check into it. Thanks. Jim

    Looking at Ford 2000, questions.

    I went and looked at the tractor today. I am heading out with the trailer to get it tomorrow. It is a '74, has factory power steering, gas, high and low, four speed. New tires, loaded with beet juice, ROPS. The previous owner did a real nice paint job and decals on it about 10 years ago...

    Looking at Ford 2000, questions.

    Yeah, I am going to need loaded tires. I have a two bottom plow and a good disc, and might be opening up more of my fields to improve them. I should have thought my questions over a little better. I am going to pass on the tractor if they aren't loaded. I think it is a bit pricey to get...

    Looking at Ford 2000, questions.

    I am looking at buying a 1974 Ford 2000. It looks good in the pics and I am going to schedule a visit. First question is, are the tires supposed to be loaded? The ones on my 8n are and I would expect the ones on the 2000 should be also, right? Is there anything I should inspect closely...

    Anyone here do deer plots?

    Hi Ultradog, I can't help with the sprayer, but as far as the plots go, I can tell you what has been working for me for many years. I have been planting rutabaga exclusively in all my plots. I plow and disc (usually) in late June. I broadcast heavily as the seed is cheap. If the soil is...

    Massy-Harris disc questions

    I seem to remember looking at wooden bearings before and found they were expensive enough for me to probably try to make them myself. I have a nice metal lathe that will probably work. Thanks for the help in how to take it apart to check them. Can the bearings be replaced by dropping...

    Massy-Harris disc questions

    I believe I have a Massey-Harris 7 foot disc. It has the M-H all over it and I think I can see some remnants of the decal on the draw bar. My question is, should I try to refurbish the bearings at the end of the "gangs". Or just grease the hell out of them and go for how ever long they...
