Just did the freeze plugs on my 73 3000 during a clutch job. If it's the two on the rear of block you'll have to split it. If it's the one on the back of head I suppose you can do it without a split but sure seems like it would be hard. I recommend you use permatex 2 as a sealer on the plugs.

Finally got my Turkish power steering installed and running on my Ford 3000 with 730 loader. Here's the scoop. I bought mine off ebay for $390 plus $80 shipping, brand is Anadolu. Kit comes with everything you need, gear driven pump that bolts right onto the engine, an actuated cylinder, two...

Hope someone can help. I installed aftermarket power steering on a Ford 3000 and bled the system, but I still have no movement at all of the cylinder. The system consists of a gear driven pump mounted to the engine, and a cylinder that pulls and pushes on a pitman arm, so it's very simple. The...

My diesel 3000 occasionally knocks at low idle, only after working it hard. During normal operation it doesn't do it. If I raise the throttle some it goes away. I bought it a few months ago, seller said engine was recently overhauled.

I installed a 730 loader on my Ford 3000. The loader's been sitting about 3 months since it ran last. Drained and refilled oil. Any advice for the first few minutes of operation? Don't want to damage any seals or the pump.

What size is right for my 3000 5 footer, 6 footer? I live on black clay land, will use for occasional grading and gravel jobs

Here's a tip I learned: The outer covering of hydraulic hoses cracks due to sun exposure. Water base exterior house paint provides 100% UV protection. Not sure if oil base paint does as well, but I know water based does. When I painted my loader I painted all of the hoses, albeit with oil base...

The Ford design on my 3000 is the pipe sits on top of the manifold with no clamps. It rocks back and forth while driving and makes me sick from the diesel exhaust. I have the one piece muffler and pipe used on European models. Anyone find a solution for this? I was thinking cut the pipe and try...

I have a Ford 3000 with oil bath air filter. I cleaned the bowl and refilled with oil, but the screen is packed with sludge. I'd like to pull the canister off and try to clean the screen but I can't get the top cap off so I can pull the canister down through the hole in the hood. Once I do get...

I have a diesel 3000, around 1973, and a Ford 730 loader that the seller removed from a 2000. Serial number begins with A, which I think is a Belgium made Ford. The 730 loader is supposed to fit my model, but my tractor only has 2 holes that I can see for mounting the front support plate to...

Just looking for a step by step guide to find out why tach doesn't work. I do have a generator and cable is hooked up to gen. I unhooked cable from gen and turned it by hand. Noticed some tach needle movement but it seems to move erratically and stick at different numbers. Movement of needle...

Anyone find a low cost source for power steering kits that will fit a diesel 3000 with loader? Used is ok, just on a tight budget.

I bought a 730 Ford loader (says 19-528 on frame) to add to my Diesel 3000. It just needs paint and fluid/filter change. Question is, since there is no dipstick how do I know what is the right amount? Also, what type of fluid should I use?

Going to an auction in two weeks to look for one I can buy and sell later. I know the basics of how to check a tractor but haven't been to an auction. I guess they don't let people try them out do they? Any other auction tips appreciated.

I bought a 3000 recently. Has no power steering, is very hard to steer, much harder than another one that I drove. Can there be something too tight in the front end? The steering gearbox seems easy to move. Already tried greasing the front end. No loader or weights on front.

I just bought a nice 3000 today for $4200, looks like new. Everything is tight and shows no signs of wear. Couple of questions. There's a drip that appears to be where the pto lever goes into the left side of tranny. How hard is that seal to change? Other minor things I could use some help...

I'm looking at buying this diesel Ford 3600 tractor. Seller says recently he noticed while mowing tall grass with 5 foot brushhog, the PTO was barely turning. This tractor has a live PTO. When letting out clutch, first the PTO turns, then when pedal is further released tractor starts to roll...

Didn't now these existed. Anyone know if they have the same parts and frame size as a 3000? I have a loader that I need to match up to it and don't want to deal with any clearance issues. Also, it has been sitting since 2007 but was running before parked. Don't know yet if it's diesel or gas...

Found an industrial Massey 40 for sale with 3 pt hitch ,but it has no pto. I hear a pto can be added to these. How hard is it and how expensive? Also, the seller is not sure that it is a 40 because it is a 4 cyinder engine, thinks it might be a 50 instead?

Will a loader from a Ford diesel 2000 fit a 4000? I'm looking at buying a diesel 4000, unkown year. A loader is for sale by another person, came off a 2000. Ad says it should fit all thousand series tractors. Anything to check for when looking at each of these items for sale? The loader has a...

Thinking of buying this one but here's the story... Industrial (yellow) MF50 w/ loader and PTO. Seller says he bought it at an auction. He first noticed one injector line was brazed shut so he replaced that. I guess the auctioneers did that cause it was cracked and they wanted to run the tractor...

Looking at one for sale. Appears to be about a 3000 or 4000, ad just says won't go into reverse. Price is right. Any ideas on causes and how hard to fix? Can it be repaired through an access cover or has to be split?

Posted this on the repair forum, just found this forum. I am looking at buying a Ford 3000 for $1600. Seller says it runs good but hitch won't raise. What are the best to worst case scenarios, and can the average mechanically inclined person fix it? Also wondering what kind of repair time and...

Looking at buying a diesel Ford 3000. Owner says gears grind when clutch is fully depressed. He said clutch does not slip at all, but that he has to rev engine to get it in gear. Is this just an adjustment or is a new clutch needed?

Looking at buying a diesel Ford 3000, great price but owner says the hitch won't raise. He said he thinks a piston inside needs new rings and it's not a hard repair. What do y'all say?

I looked at a New Holland 1925 with loader and Backhoe attachment today, asking price $10,500, 1000 hours. I have some questions. I've never used a backhoe, but this one only moves with one lever at a time. If two levers are used it will ignore one of them. Is this by design or is there a...
