Ford 5000 restore

[sawtooth]

I wanna see some pics once this baby is done. If you want input on paint I can give you some information to mull over. My 3910 should be done next month. Nothing like a old Ford tractor.

Finally back from the motor shop

Rocker arm assembly needed to be cleaned up some of them were sticking

 

[Midniteoyl]

What did the bores clean up too?

 

[2006gmcdmax]

Well I was just going to hoan it but we ended up with 20 over or .020 so the bore now is 4.420

 

[Midniteoyl]

Not too bad.. That cyl 4 looked like it needed more than a hone

Agreed yes it did we were just going to hoan it I would've done it but 5000s you can't do an I frame and why not do the main seal so I said forget it she's coming apart and she is going to be right
This was my 4000 I hope to make it look like this exactly
