    881 SOS top speed

    Actual top speed is dependent on what size wheels and tires it has. The standard wheel size was 28", but there were a few other sizes available.

    No fuel at the filter bleed nut. 1974 Ford Tractor 2000 series.

    I asked for a picture of how the large o-ring is installed because many folks install them incorrectly. If you put that large o-ring in the recess at the perimeter around of the top of the filter, then it is blocking the flow. It is supposed to go into a recess up around the perimeter inside the...

    No fuel at the filter bleed nut. 1974 Ford Tractor 2000 series.

    Most places that sell those filters include o-rings and gaskets for multiple applications and you're not supposed to use all of them. Remove the new filter from the head and make sure that there are no old o-rings up inside the head and take a picture of how you have the new large o-ring...

    Ford 2000 charging issue

    New regulators these are just as likely to have problems as the old one. Get a service manual and follow the procedure to test and adjust the VR. If the new one can't be adjusted, hopefully you still have the old one and can reinstall that one and adjust it properly.

    That box is the original style voltage regulator for the original style generator.

    Ford diesel tractor will not turn over

    My first guess is that the neutral safety switch isn't engaging. The switch could be bad, or the pieces inside the transmission top cover could be worn so that the switch just can't be engaged properly. You can try unplugging the two wires going down from under the dash to the transmission top...

    Help id block #310609

    310609 is a 172 ci 4 cylinder engine block used in the 801 and 901 series tractors in 1958 and 1959. Every time that the Ford engineers changed anything in the design of the casting, a new casting code number was used.

    Best service manual for Ford 3600?

    There are plenty of original Ford Service Manuals available out there. Here are a few that I found from a quick Google search: https://peacefulcreek.com/product/ford-tractor-2600-3600-4100-4600-5600-service-manual-repair-shop-technical-book/ https://www.ebay.com/itm/392006478125...

    Ford 420 rear hydraulic pressure test

    The large bolt at the front center of the small plate under the front of the seat is a test port. You can plumb a gauge there and chain the lift arms down to test the pressure as you raise the control handle, but if the arms aren't moving, there likely won't be any measurable pressure at the...

    Lift arm travel

    Some pictures taken from a little farther away might be helpful as well. The leveling box might not be the proper one for that tractor, but with the limited view from those pictures I don't think anyone on here would be able to tell.

    foord 2000 exhaust wobble

    If it is a vertical exhaust that goes up through the hood, then it it is just a friction fit on the manifold. When it is new, you should be able to press down on the pipe when you install it and it should be a fairly tight fit. As it ages it will fit looser and looser, especially if it...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    First thing is to replace the draft control pin/seat stud. I'm not an expert on that system, but from my understanding that pin shouldn't affect things when it is in draft control mode, but the fact that it is missing completely might mean that other things have moved out of position inside to...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    Are you running it in draft control mode or position control mode? Does the draft control plunger move in and out while you drive the tractor with the mower raised when you hit a bump?

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    I just read the last part of your post again. The draft control linkage is not connected to the transmission. It is connected the the rear of the hydraulic lift top plate, which is on top of the rear axle center housing. I'm not sure what stud you are referring to. Can you post a picture? But if...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    The arms lifting and lowering on their own repeatedly sounds like what folks here call "hicupping". The cause is usually an internal leak that allows the arms to lower once they have lifted to the intended height,and then the system detects that the arms lowered and opens the valve to lift the...

    Early 3000 serial number weirdness

    I think it is a very early tractor and the transmission was stamped before they had standardized on things. If it was truly a prototype or pre-production tractor, I think there would have been a metal tag on it somewhere with a bunch of code numbers that only the Ford engineers at the time would...
