Just unloaded my ford 5000 'winter project' off the trailer and parked it by my barn.

I call it my winter project as I'll probably be sleeping in the barn for a while.. and winter is coming up!

Diesel.. starts right up.. no smoke.. steering is tight, brakes are good, clutch is smooth. had a pow ster pump leak right at a fitting.. and also had a diesel leak on a hose fitting...no other apparent problems. Dash cluster seems to work fine.

So you decided to go for it. Great, keep the pictures coming as progress goes. Sure wished I had the knack and patience to rebuild a tractor.

Looks like you've got plenty to work with. Mine had the same bent exhaust stack, but was equipped with 18.4 X 30" rears. I see a stack of front weights too. In good running condition, that baby'll haul mail with 4X14"s. IMHO, that was as good of a tractor as Ford ever built.

Ol' Henry'd be quite proud of ya!

The one I had was factory rated at 67HP, actually turned about 72, and after I butchered it (added a M&W Turbo kit) saw 105 for a short while.

That'll be a fun project, wish I had the time, money, and space to restore another tractor.

Farm is on the money.. 72/67 eng / pto.. according to the 5000 spec sheet i downloaded.

Starts as easy as my 2002 NH 7610s .. no smoke, and oil is nice and dark.. but no sign of water.

good weight stack.. I'll need it too.. might swap the mower over to it.. just not sure yet...might make it the wagon puller, and the generator 'tractor'.

Looks solid. Like I say.. may need a leak or two repaired.. possible radiator replace / repair.. some minor body work.. new plastic parts.. etc.. otherwise.. clutch / brakes and lift seem fine. prev owner was pulling a 7' hog with it.. so pto works.. steering is nice and tight.. starts up like a car.. no smoke.. and oil shows no signs of water..( or recent change /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I'd call it a 'good' old tractor.

My friend has had an M&W turbo on his 5000 for years, works/runs great.
