I use a Ransomed mounted 5 hydraulic mower for fine cutting a cricket & football (soccer) field here in the UK. It has 5 six-blade cylinders powerd hydraulically from a PTO powered pump. One of the reels hardly spins when lowered for cutting, but with the mower raised it spins very fast. It...

Weird one for you - 3 point on my 3600 won't lift unless there is no pressure on the tractor end of the top link. I can't get my 5-reel mower into the shed. It will lift if completely disconnected from mower, and if the top link removed. Fully connected and nothing. Both levers up to fully...

Hi all Just had new tubes fitted all round to my L245. Any ideas on tyre pressures for turf tyres? Sizes are: Front 20 x 8.00 - 10 Rear. 13.6 - 16 Everywhere I've looked has them for 5.00-15 front & various 24" rears. Glen

Hi all, Any idea how to prime the hydraulic pump on a Ford 3000/3600? This is the piston type pump as fitted to 3000's and early 3600's, not the gear type. Just got pump rebuilt and I wanna get it right! Glen

Just received a set of used headlamps for the L245 at my sports club, but are completely different from those fitted to my tractor. I was hoping I could use the lenses only but they are a different size to my bowls. Even the fittings on the back are different so I can't swap the whole unit...

Anyone know where I can get a headlamp glass for an L245 in the UK? Alternatively, anyone know what size the bowls are so I can bodge something? Glen

HI peeps Before I start mowing for the year, what's the best grade of oil to put in the engine & 3-point system for UK weather? Glen

I need bits and pieces for the 1975/6 registered Ford 3000 highway I use at a local sports club to cut the grass. However some bits on it are not as I've seen on other 3000's. Exhaust has an S bend from manifold to stack, handbrake is mounted on a drum shaped assembly along with speedo drive...

Does anyone know if there is a hydraulic filter on a 1975/6 ford 3000 highway? I'm having a new pump and the 3-point rebuilt but also where else do the hydraulics go?

I'm new to forum, so bear with me! I've been groundskeeping for a local sports club for last few years and our 3000 has blow it's hydraulic pump. However, it doesn't appear to be a Ford 3000 pump fitted from what I've seen of pictures, looks more like a 4610 pump. As do other things, exhasut...
