ford 6000 progress !

[fordfarming]

working on 6000 and picker project a little, had all the mounting brackets except 2 angle brackets for under rear axle ( which fabricated today ) and the rock shaft lift mechanism under the engine pan to lift and lower the unit. that was fun to fabricate but hooked up hoses today and it works so I lifted it and drove out side so I took some pics .also have painted some on tractor ,also added a pic of a sign in barn!

Was going to say nice things...

Great job.

Are those rear wheels spun out as far as they can go?

 

[fordfarming]

the center hubs are out against end of axle retain ring and the wheels are spun out against the stop . so yes. but I guess you could move the jacks to the other side of the cast center and little more. set them according to book - 86" center wheel to center wheel. outside of wheels are right at 102"

sorry, not trying to rub anything in . I just like to share pic of some things . but I understand your frustration!

No worries, it is a prize well worth showing!

Can't afford 3 more mortgages for one down here, lol!
