    Identify This Disc

    No, never did. The discs were rusted pretty bad with a lot of metal loss from sitting in the ground. I bought a more conventional (yet old) Ford Disc at a farm auction. Mine is in the scrap metal pile. Good luck with yours.

    Ford 3000 loading up

    Sean, thanks for the information. These items may need attention but it acts more like fuel than anything else. However, I'm open to being wrong on that. I checked my records. The coil was replaced 4 years ago when I also put in a Pertronix electronic ignition during some of my initial...

    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?

    Worked on the 640 yesterday. Remember, it has a brand new battery in it. I tried to start it before I tried anything else. Amazingly it turned about a quarter revolution. I tried it again but it only clicked. So I tried the tapping trick with the hammer. I captured the video after a few taps...

    JD Backhoe running at high idle with key off and out

    Changed the fuel filter (that's an interesting configuration). Filled it with diesel. Added a pint of Sea Foam. Cleaned up the electrical connections to the injector pump. Starts and runs fine - and shuts off properly. Won't really put it to hard work until tomorrow when we trench a water...

    JD Backhoe running at high idle with key off and out

    Thanks, I'll be tackling this tomorrow. Time to tear into it. I'll post back with what I find. Thanks again. RedDawg

    Proper next step?

    Thanks everyone. I'll be checking the grounds and other connections again. The starter being stuck is an interesting idea. I'll try the 'tapping' trick to begin with and then move on to trying to rock it like Skemp suggested. Really appreciate the suggestions. I'll write back with what I...

    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

    Thanks a bunch for that. That's very helpful. Got the new fuel filter yesterday and will be tearing into it in the next day or two. Appreciate it. RedDawg

    JD Backhoe running at high idle with key off and out

    That's a thought - that or water. Changing the fuel filter and adding Sea Foam......

    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...

    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...

    '55 footboards

    And my early 1955 Ford 640 (Serial #2190) has angled floor boards and 1 3/8" PTO shaft. Although it does have a vane pump.

    Ford 3000 coil part number

    Ok, it has a RUC15 "Ignition Coil 12 Volts Internal Resistor" coil on it right now. Guess it has been replaced in the past. Now I know what coil to get. Thanks everyone.

    Ford 3000 coil part number

    Thanks. That's very informative. Guess I'll be tracing wires tonight before buying a coil! Appreciate it.

    Ford 3000 coil part number

    Thanks. That is great to know. Any idea if the stock setup had a resistor or not? Or could that vary? I haven't had this tractor long enough to know a few of those things yet. But I am getting there!

    Ford 3000 coil part number

    For a stock 1968 Ford 3000 gasser with the 12v generator, can anyone tell me the NAPA part number for the coil? Thanks.

    40' Shipping Container VS Ford 3000 ....

    I did put my 640 in the first one of these I bought. But then I built a lean-to next to it and now just park both tractors under it. No one is at my 'farm' during the week but there are neighbors around and I have cameras properly positioned. Of course my container is only about a cinder...

    40' Shipping Container VS Ford 3000 ....

    Yes, it's a Fasco 1200 loader. It originally came on my 1955 Ford 640. I swapped it over to the 3000 since it has PS. The same controls fit both tractors and mount right under the seat. I need to replace the lines though as they are bit stretched on the 3000. The entire loader sits further...

    40' Shipping Container VS Ford 3000 ....

    It was more a matter of the wet clay underneath. It was a side off-load trailer. He had to drop it and hope we could get him out. Heck, it took the 3000 and my dad's Ram 3500 to get him moving again. No chance of him repositioning it.
