U-Haul hauling a tractor
Ok. This is how I used a u-haul trailer to haul a Ford 50 hp tractor and a bush hog cutter and a bush hog finishing mower about 250 miles. 1. I told them I was hauling a Ford 500 AWD. If you say a 2WD car, they will hassle you about the using just a trolley thing, as if it was their business at...- Faust

old ford tractor restorers
Well, the old timers who know are dying off and the young ones don't know how because they only know a smartphone and an xbox, and then there is you and me. Needed my 3600 split to replace a $1 freeze plug- nobody knew anything, wouldn't call back, ect. I had to split and fix it myself and as...- Faust

New to me Ford 5000
Ford 5000? I'm jelly. I do not have a 5000, but I was the crew on a trawler with Ford Lehman's with Sims injection and I did check the injection levels daily. I would look into the fuel tank and flush any sediment out and replace the fuel filter(s). Check the wiring for breaks and rubbing that... -

The Big and The Small of Things
I never worked at Ford, but I worked at three other auto manufactures and these companies have a bad quarter or two and decide they need to simplify operations. How do you build a business on a product that can easily last two or three generations? Henry Ford was a farm kid, like Porsche, and... -

3000 PTO Clutch Adjustment or Problem
hmm. Well, if the 8 speed in the 3000 is similar to the 3600, then the only thing to slowly degrade is the PTO clutch plate. Why does this happen when you had it recently split? Well if the seals between the long skinny shaft that makes the wheels go and the short fat shaft that makes the PTO go... -

Ford 3600 cooling
Thank you for the info. I want to change the 43 year old clamps so I will learn if the tractor even has a thermostat installed. -

Putting split back together
I blocked the front because the balance on that end seems like I'd knock it over. On a 3600 there isn't a good lift point on the front, it baffling. I made a fixture hold her up without resting on the oil pan but the oil pan flange, It rested on a scissor jack. I move the back end using the... -

Ford 3600 cooling
I have a 3600 diesel. I replaced a freeze plug (the one that requires a split - thanks Ford engineering) this summer and there was a lot of gunk in the block and tried to flush it but she was in two pieces in my garage so not able to really flush it. I just put water in it, ran it as needed... -

removing paint from tractor hood
For sheet metal and small parts, I take a 55 gal plastic drum and cut the side so a 16" wide rim will fit in there. Then I take some heavy scrap metal like mower blades and brake rotors and weld them to the fit inside the drum and some is sticking up out of one side. I fill it up with water and...- Faust

1966 Ford 3000 wont start
You have spark. Unlikely you lost all compression. Dump a half shot of fuel into the air filter side into the carb. If it runs and dies quickly you might have a carb problem or a little piece of grit jamming the fuel needle up like the floats are all the way up. Could your distributor have come... -

Input Shaft Tube on 6610 Diesel
I just pulled that same part on my 3600 today and the casting at the back end is not completely machined nor is it necessary. As long as the 5 bolts attach it to the transmission housing, it can support the rear of the PTO input shaft with that ball bearing found under the snap ring and keeps it... -

Ford 3600 clutch PP finger adjustment.
I was trying to adjust without being installed, ugh - that's not possible. So I am going to bolt the clutch to the flywheel, then gap it, install and check again. I have an external clutch pedal spring, so my gap is 0.050-0.054 for the distance between the elliptical pin and the machine screw on... -
