Ford 3000
Hi,

I would be grateful if anyone can help. I have got a Ford 3000 which i have had for 15 years but not used at all for two years as i have replaced the fuel tank and been doing other repairs. I am now having to have a new fuel pump but have a mechanic to help.

I have another question. I use a topper on the back to cut my fields. When topping, the topper never stays at the height that i want. If i hold the height adjuster handle, it stays in the position but when i let go of the handle, the handle drops and the topper falls too. I haven't got a special guard which i have seen is available. Does anyone have any experience at that or is their a way to have some friction so that the handle does not move.

Many thanks

The lift handle has a friction disc that is probably worn out or missing. Should be able to get a new one.

Try tightening the locknut first.
