Last night I was able to identify the model tractor I have through the kindness of a member on this website. It's a 1965 Ford 5000 diesel 8spd.
A neighbor of mine was nice enough to give me a tractor and I would like to put it to use. I know that I do not want to start it before I change the fluids & filter, but I am unsure of what to use. It seems that the fluids are low and old, plus when it is running the pto is always turning even when it's supposed to be disengaged. It turns very slow when the lever is in the off position, but I think it may be because it needs fluids. Idk?
I need to know what type of oil and transmission fluid to use, I also need to know what type of filter to put on it. The person who gave it to me didn't seem to be a real stickler for proper fluids and filters, so that is why I am here. I spent most of the day looking for a manual on the tractor, but was unable to find one.
I would appreciate any help or advice that can be helpful.
Thanks,
RC
