Does anyone know where the drain plug is for the rear hydraulic fluid is on a ford 3000 Shepp

Hello: i have a Ford 3000 diesel that starts fine, but when it gets on a hill she slowly loses rpm and acts like she is running out of fuel then quits. After I roll back down the hill I can start her again after a lot of cranking. It has a quarter tank of fuel. Could it be sucking water off the...

So I finally managed to get the new clutch in my tractor. The frightening thing was on initial try out it acted like it was still frozen, but it turned out it was just the clutch pedal wasn't pushing the clutch in far enough so I turned the clevis in about 18 turns and that did the job, Now I...

OK so I managed to split my Ford 3000 and the new clutch package came the other day. I was looking at the Pilot bearing on the tractor and it looks like I have to remove the fly wheel to replace the pilot bearing. Is this correct? I was also looking at the release bearing. I thought there...

Well I finally split this tractor and I have received a new clutch package. Now before I install it. Some guys who are pretty good do it yourself mechanics with cars were telling me to check the fly wheel for warp since my clutch was so badly worn. They sat that the heat from the worn out clutch...

Well I finally took advantage of the nice weather and some time off work to get this thing split. I left the loader on which actually came in handy to support the steering box since I couldn't get the draglinks disconnected from the steering arms. The hardest part was getting the starter motor...

While I have her split I took a photo of the serial number. Shepp

Thanks Bucktaker: I have already started to split the tractor with the bucket on, but thanks for the advice. I will use it in the future if I ever need to replace the FEL. It was a pain getting the wiring, starter motor, hydraulic pump ect off with those support arms in the road, but after a few...

After looking things over. I be leave this is the best method. Just leave the front loader attached and disconnect the rear supports like you said. It was a bit of a pain with all the extra support arms in the way, but managed anyhow. Now I just have to get the drag links disconnected. They are...

Im currently in the process of splitting a Ford 3000 and cant figure out how to detach the rear drag links. Any ideas?

I considered just disconnecting the loader at the axle and leaving the front on, but it sure would make spitting the tractor harder with those support arms in the road. Since I am in the middle of the bush near my camp I was planning on building a solid floor with 2X6's layed flat side down and...

Hello everyone: I am a new member to this Forum. I recently purchased an old Ford 3000 diesel. Not sure of the year. I haven't quite deciphered the numbers on the engine block yet. She ran great all the way home which was about a 30 mile trip. Graded my driveway a few times with it then the...
