It’s a 1976, but it’s been rebuilt twice. Many years ago (10?) I tried to replace the carb with one that was said to be a replacement for the original Holly. It didn’t work very well under a load, so I ended up finding a guy that I could mail the original to any he rebuilt them. Did that...

Thanks, bet that’s it. Since it’s leaking , assume a seal has gone bad and thinking maybe 00 grease would do it. It sure seemed like as soon as I cranked it , it started dripping, wouldnt think it was under pressure , but steering is where I’ll investigate.

Ford 4000 1976 ; I noticed a pretty good trail of what sure seems like hydraulic fluid, if not that oil of some kind running down both sides under the hydraulic pump. Figured my fitting was toast again, but when I looked at the trail it goes all the way to the top of the MANUAL steering column...

Thanks , crazy how an old part is that expensive, but I think they only made that model a couple years. Appreciate the help.

A buddy is looking buying this tractor and the left side steering shaft from the main assembly to the tie rod piece sheered off. Can‘t seem to find those parts, which looks like would be a spline end rod maybe or a rod and a spline/bushing. Any thoughts on what parts and how one would go...

It’s the carb that was on it when I got it 15 yrs ago and believe it’s the original since it looks ancient and the zenith replacement I tried many years ago didn’t work well, it would stall out under load. It’s been painted many times so not sure I can get part # , but thinking maybe a rebuild...

1976 Ford 4000 ,gas, have had the carb rebuilt a few times since I could never find a replacement new that worked well. I use it mainly Oct-Jan but crank it and let it run 10min or so every month when not in use. I use ethanol free 89 fuel, new fuel in Feb. I cranked it about a month ago...

Still SHOCKED kubota nor anyone really has any good drive belt diagrams or hints on replacement or putting back on one that jumped off Got it done ! 1. while I took off the housing around the gas tank inlet, choke and blade engagement knob , was not needed in the end …skip that 2. while I...

Jacked it up and took a closer look. There are two belts, one drives the deck blades and the other the drive/wheels/arms. The one that engages the wheels is the one that fell off. It “appears” to go around a top pulley on the engine shaft and then goes off to a pulley for each turn arm. I...

I have a z122r and while mowing yesterday it just stopped right after a 180 turn. The left and right handles now feel much tighter vs smooth/ease and I can see the belt has come off. I can manually put it back on the left pulley under the seat and the rear one under the engine, but no way to...

I slid the battery tray out and this small metal tube must have gotten hit and broke off at the fitting. Thought maybe I could just pull the broken piece from inside and push the tube back in and it would compression fit. Couldn稚 get the part of tube that broke off inside the nut fitting out...

The valve stem had a hole in it so I pulled the tire and and tube, it looks like the hole the valve stem comes out of in the rim was cut out decades ago. I have had it over 10 years. It looks like maybe the tube stem is rubbing on the rough cut hole. Inside the rim also had duct tape wrapped...

I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my 75 ford 4000. I found kits with both front and rear bearings, races and grease seal online , but I壇 kind of like to get it done tommorow. Is it possible to get the same parts at Napa or autozone etc... ? Is there a resource for getting size...

I had a thread the last few weeks about an ignition issue that ended up being grounded points. Got that fixed, thanks again for the help. As part of working through the other issue, I changed the coil, rotor, plugs, points and condenser. I ran it for the first time today with a load (bush...

Ive noticed the last year or so if my Ford 4000, gas , turns off after Its been run a few minutes , it wont crank again without sitting over night. Most of the time this happens is after 30min or more. Sometimes it stalls out cutting high grass and Its over for the day. Its running about...
