Ford 5000 Cam

[nwford]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a supplier for a cam for a late 5000 diesel? We are in the process of overhauling it. We are looking to have this tractor for a while and don't want to tear it back apart.
Reliance? ASAP? Tisco? A&I? Anyone installed one from any of these suppliers and if so any issues in fitment or part life?

It's a 4000, not a 5000, but when my son and I rebuilt his 4000, we replaced the cam and lifters. It's been a few years, but I'm pretty sure it was from All States Ag Parts. No problem, over 1000 hours on it since then.

Years ago I mainly used Tisco until they changed to S&M
I’ve had good luck with Reliance brand, but have also used A&I products

Are you sure the old cam is bad? They are pretty rugged.

I've got multiple lobes that appear to like the hardened outer edge is starting to flake off. This is the only picture I have of it at the moment.

Mic them to check for lobe lift. If they are all the same I would not sweat it as long as you kept the lifters in order.
