Ford 3000 gas sediment bowl

[Va Gasman]

Working on My Son's 3000 and have lines flushed and gas pumping thru the inlet to sediment bowl. Bowl has issues. The hardware is not holding bowl correct and the gasket is shot. Can this complete sediment bowl be found at NAPA?

You would do well to repair that sediment bowl if at all possible. As far as I know they are NLA anywhere.
Gasket can be made up easy with either an Oring or a piece of inner tube and a sharp scissors.
You can take the center stem out of the housing.
It is made up of about a gazillion little brass star shaped washers on a center post that unscrews. They get full of crud and block the flow.
Turn on the radio to the Redskins game and take the stem out and clean all the tiny washers in lacquor thinner or somesuch then put them all back on the stem. Take you most of the game to do it.
If you don't like the Redskins, don't have patience or have Lots of dough I have a NOS one of those sediment bowl/filters I would sell.

I will try to get a gasket today or O-ring to fit. The issue is the knurled nut with the threaded fork that fits over the hanger wire. One of those small tongs is broken. I may be able to reproduce with a similiar thread stock and some vise time with hacksaw and file.
Thanks, Randy S

As Ultradog said, the sediment bowl filter assembly is no longer available, but the baiil appears to be. The bail is the loop of rod that hooks into the top housing of the sediment bowl assembly and hangs down below the glass bowl, and the threaded shaft and knurled nut are included as part of the bail assembly. The part number for the entire bail, including the threaded shaft and knurled nut is D4NN9C297A, and partspring.com shows 196 of them available in stock for $23.18 each, plus shipping.

You can probably buy the bail from New Holland. Gasket for sure.

 

[Ultradog MN]

I would think that threaded fork would not be too hard to make at home - as you say with a bolt, vise and hacksaw and file.
If you do buy one from CNH as Rick suggests, ask them for the gasket too.
PS, they made two different lengths of bottle/bail so if you order one get the right length.

I'm needing to disassemble the center section of my 3000 sediment bowl. Do you just grab the end section of the stem with a pliers and turn it to unscrew it?

Welcome to the forums.

It is best to start a new post of your own. Many will see the date of the original thread/post and pass on by figuring it is just old rehash of a cured issue. Sometimes the issue in an old post is not the same as yours and people reply to the original issue, not what you need.

If your sediment bowl is similar to the one in the picture, you back the knurled nut down the threads, away from the glass bowl to the point the bail can be swung out from under the glass bowl. Ideally the knurled nut is only finger tightened, you might need to use pliers, gently, to start the knurled nut.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't make myself clear on what my question was. I have the glass sediment bowl off and the center stem section that Ultradog MN described as containing a bunch of star shaped brass washers, is clogged. He said the main stem can be unscrewed and the washers cleaned. I don't see how you can unscrew that Center stem without just grabbing the end plate with a pliers and rotating it counterclockwise, but I was hoping to verify that that is truly what he meant before I try it. Since this part is not available I would hate to break it. Thanks!

That assembly is available and its not expensive I brought one last year. The first one came in broken when I took it apart all those star washers went everywhere. I sent it back and got another one all was good.

Part number is C5NN9176A. The New Holland parts site claims it is no longer serviced in one spot, but then it says it is available in another spot, but for $108.00. If you do a Google search on that part number you can find them all over the internet for around $15.00.

Actually I brought 3 of'em last year I may have broke one taking it apart. All came in with the inlet/outlet fittings on the wrong side. They are Loctited in not easy to swap out. Be careful.

Thanks to all who replied! I ordered a new one yesterday. Then, after a 30 min. Dip in carb dip, I tried turning the center stem of the old one with a pliers and found that it came apart quite easily. I'm currently letting that soak a while before I mess with cleaning all those little "washers", never hurts to have a spare. Thanks again for your prompt responses, they were very helpful!
