Thanks. Looked them up. Seems its a ram with remote valve either Garrison or Bendix. Both obsolete and parts hard to get. I have one like that on now off an Ozzie Ford Fairlane but its not as strong looking as the F250 one. I was hoping to get away from the remote valve type and try one like my...

Been a while since I posted last . I was looking at the Power Steering on my Ford 3000 the other day and wondered if I could adapt it to my old Series Land Rover. Took it off and tried for fit but its a bit big. My question is, do any of the smaller compact type tractors have this ram assist...

I had sucess by just replacing it with a flexible pipe. Got the hydraulic guys to crimp the fittings on and screwed it in. May not look so neat but it works.

Hi guys and Girls. I am making a project for the farm and need a double acting power steering cylinder. It needs to have a close to 6 inch stroke and a 5/8 or 3/4 shaft with a threaded rod or a ball joint each end. I have found one here in OZ on ebay but no one will answer those questions about...

Thanks. I have the same wiring diagram as the link. As indicated the white wire to the coil , if earthed should cut it off. I earthed it directly where it goes into the engine so bypassing all the relays and kill switches etc. It should have stopped the engine but did not. I wonder if the wire...

OK you both seem to say it makes its own power. Must be true as I grounded both ends of the white lead. Still ran on. Disconnected the battery completely. Still ran on. So to fix this I gather I have to pull the cover off the engine and look at the Magneto. Is it all one part or is the coil I...

The LT155 I use here has been performing well and I have replaced the deck twice and needed to replace the key switch once. I now wish to fix the current problem I have in that the engine wont turn off. I have to pull the plug lead. Its the 3 position key model with the 3 amp charge. I found a...

Well the old Aussie 414 I rebuilt the engine of on this Forum 5 or 6 years ago is still going but the PTO has started jumping out with both the chipper and slasher. On a search I found out that if the PTO shaft can move in and out , thats the problem. I undid the 3 bolts and removed it and found...

The new liners would not go all the way in due to rust buildup on the sides. The WSM says they must be free to rotate when fitted without the O ring. I used a sanding drum in the diegrinder to bring it back to bare metal after covering up the crank journals as best I could. Then washed it all...

Well I got a bit more done, enough to fire it up. Problem is that it started to fill the sump with water. I had done a compression test and thought the head gasket was good so removed the sump. Refilled the block with water and sure enough there were little drops of water dripping from between...

Australian built McCormick I posted earlier in a thread My Tractors but seeing I will be rebuilding this McCormick I thought it would be better here. I am still learning about these. Its an A414. A for Australian built as opposed to the B414 which is British built. I have been told there were...

Hi Guys. I have been a member for several years but not got around to posting. I am in Queensland Australia and bought the Ford 3000 used, about 16 years ago. Used for slashing mainly but its developed hydraulic problems. Using the search function I am guessing its the filters and not looking...
