Poor planning as usual, but I have to move hay tomorrow before the rain comes in, so I bought a bucket-mounted hay spear at TSC last night (Tractor Supply Company - CountyLine Penetrator Bucket Spike) I assume this mounts on the bottom of the bucket, with the large spike on top (smaller spikes...

I have a 73 Ford 4000 (4140) SU 3-cyl gas. It starts and runs fine, but after running awhile it will suddenly sputter and die, almost acting like it's out of gas. It "feels" hot, just judging from the air coming off the engine, but the radiator stays full of 50/50 mix and the temperature gauge...

I have a 1973 Ford 4000 SU (lightweight 3000-type front end), and the front right axle shaft/spindle broke several weeks ago. I've been going back and forth with the dealer trying to get all the right parts and fight 30 years worth of rust and bad previous-owner welding to get everything set...

I spent all yesterday running around town looking for a battery for my '73 Ford 4000 SU. TSC, Advance Auto, O'Reilly, and Auto Zone all didn't have it, and didn't list a "replacement model" in their reference books. They did list a replacement for the 5000, which I tried, but it was too big to...

I just bought a 1973 Ford 4000 and the power steering (hydro assist, it looks like) doesn't work. You can turn the wheels while moving, but not at all while sitting still. The prior owner said he's been running it that way for years, and only recently found out it was "supposed" to have power...

I just purchased my first tractor - a gas Ford 4000 with FEL. Owner is to deliver it Monday afternoon, but he already gave me the Operator's Manual which I've been reading and plotting what to do first. I plan on changing every fluid and any filter that looks at all questionable. One question...

How hard/expensive is it to add power steering to a Ford 3000 diesel? I've found one that I'd like to purchase, but I'd really like to have the power steering. I've added it to an old jeep (and have no problem working on engines), but just don't know about the details of diesels and old...

I'm looking at a Ford 340 "Industrial" diesel model with a front-end loader. It has power steering, PTO, and 3-point hitch, locking differential, and foot throttle (in addition to the hand throttle). I don't know what year it was made - the dealer said "probably in the 70's." I drove it today...
