I finally got back on this project. I was almost to the point of just replacing the ends with new weld on ones but I couldn't find any that were less than 1 3/4" wide. The 1 3/8" wide ball ends in the lower arms I ordered from Yesterdays work well enough. There is about an 1/8" that isn't...

Here is my contribution to this thread. My late 1989 3910 with 1870 hours. Here is a before and after picture. I have spent a lot of time fixing leaks and various worn parts but from the day I bought it it was a good working tractor. Why does that second pic make that bush hog so massive behind...

I have a late 1989 or early 1990 Ford 3910 and am searching for replacement lower lift arms. The aftermarket is loaded with every lift arm imaginable for these old school tractors but Ford seems to have pulled a fast one on us or as I call it, they "John Deered" us. The arms on the tractor right...

Probably just still burning a little off. Look at your exhaust manifold and you'll find evidence that it was once painted. You should see the burnt paint.

How many hours you got on it? Is normal to smell the engine paint for a while when they're new. I still get a hint of it on mine at 150 hours.

The digital number is transmission temperature.

I run a 12' batwing cutter and it's all my 4710 wants to do to start the thing spinning. You'll never convince me these tractors have a soft start feature on the PTO or that it works if it does have one. My coolant Temps never get over the last hash mark to the left of half way on the dash...

The Belarus 250AS had a double acting cylinder on the 3 point as well. Weirdest tractor I've ever run but that was handy on the 3 point for sure!

We seem to have a pretty decent following of 4700 series owners over here so surely there's some good pictures you all have. I see them in the various posts but I have to scroll through so much to find them. Post them if you want to, if not then don't. I have really taken a liking to this thing...

There's a Facebook page for 4700 global series tractors. I can't link to it using my phone due to my poor past life choices where I'm not supposed to have a Facebook account. Just search for it and it should come up. They will have to grant you access after you request it because it's...

Guys, I read the Facebook post about cleaning the grounds on the global series tractors and I can't recall the guys name but he is correct in urging us to do it. My cab ground at the back was loose and the bolt threads stripped and where that same cable connects to the chassis at the axle...

I have mowed a couple days that it's been 98+ and have yet to turn my blower fan higher than 2. If the sun is shining in its definitely warmer in the cab but it's more than comfortable to me. I did cut off the factory heater valve and cap off the outside air intake so mine runs in full...

Probably had some oil in the exhaust and during the hill climb it got hot enough to start smoking it off. Same thing happens after we replace a turbo that pumped oil into the exhaust, the more load you put on it the more it smokes until all the oil is gone.

Chain stabilizers were an option for a while on the Chinese built tractors I know. May be worth the $120 to switch to them.

I've run plenty of implements without sway bars and it won't hurt a thing as long as your arms aren't getting into the tires but I sure don't care for the flopping back and forth that goes on with them disconnected, especially with a bush hog.
