The 3910 is a great bush hog tractor! That's about all mine does. I pull a 6 foot woods bush hog and it is about the most perfect combination you could ever ask for.

I can't thank you guys enough for your help. The part number 181076 that everyone sells as 1/2" pipe is actually 3/8" pipe. I had some confusion myself there. It's od is .68. I hope if anyone else runs into this they find this post. I ordered the one linked above.

Tinhack, I sure thought about the tank having been drilled but luckily I've known this tractor from day one and know it's never had any repairs done that I haven't done myself. I know the original owner and still see him every day. It's a blessing to have that kind of knowledge when dealing with...

I sure appreciate you guys helping me, I think you have got me on the right track. So I hit up my fitting bin in my parts department and got a couple 1/2" pipe fittings and put the caliper on them. The outside dimension at the narrow end of the taper is about .650 which is the same as the...

I have been trying to find a replacement fuel shutoff valve that screws into the bottom of the tank but keep failing. When you search all the typical parts sources it doesn't seem too difficult, aftermarket number 181076 seems to replace every cut off valve ford ever used except this tractor...

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...
