Interesting tire choice for a road department tractor. What size are your fronts now? The 16.9x24 is 51" diameter/25" radius, while the 12.4x38s are 60" diameter/30" radius approximately so you are dropping 5" lower. There are smaller tire/wheel combinations that might get you what you want...

Welcome to TBN! The best all around turf tire for the rear of that size tractor is a 16.9x24, R3. It is a popular size that gives good flotation and traction. Most of the old Ford skiploaders (tractor loader industrial) used 16.9x24, R4, so if you have a used tractor yard nearby, you could use...

The leak is coming from the steering motor under the dash. Most leaks come from there or the cylinder. The lines to and from the pump and cooler don't normally have a problem

The locking collar and the inner race of the bearing are still there as you suspect. A cutting torch will take those both off easily, but if you don't have one, a propane, preferably a MAP gas torch can be used to heat both pieces to a orange, red color, then cooled to loosen them up to beat off...

Got it

Wondering why you would suspect new ecu to be bad if you have power out?

Found this on another forum: You can get the display to show you a trouble code. From the 2016+ X300-series tech manual: 1. Safely park the machine with the brake NOT set. Wheel chocks are highly recommended. 2. Set the machine as such: Forward/reverse pedals in the neutral position Brake...

Welcome to TBN! Perhaps explain what you have done so far, but with that said, have you applied power directly to the clutch? Checked for a blown fuse?

Yeah, I wasn't concerned as to the cylinders themselves, but looked at the loader valve as possibly not correct. However, your bucket works at the same speed. Strictly a flow problem

The current hoses look to be 3/8" and 1/2" would be my recommendation. I think the big problem, and you can't change this without making a new hose and going to a different source like the remotes, is that the fitting on the tractor side of the supply and return hoses are very small and that is...

You can't remove the Priority pack as the sense line out the left side going to the remotes is what tells the pack to send oil to the Deluxe remotes. I don't think that it is causing your problems on the 3pt. I will say, I just looked again at your setup for the loader and the other thing that...

Beautiful job on the restoration! I remember getting a MF? with the Standard diesel in our shop. It threw us for a bit because we were used to the Perkins, but it was a nice little engine, just had never seen one before.

My knowledge is old and broad, not just Fords. I may not know the old JDs inside and out, but the hydraulic system in those are basic gear pumps. One thing no one has mentioned, whenever you adjust pumps, you need to have a pressure guage to determine what pressure the relief is opening...

No doubt the pressure is too low for the log splitter at 1200 psi, but increasing the pressure of the tractor will shorten the life of the pump or cause irreparable damage. I would be inclined to attach a PTO pump and reservoir for the splitter. The splitter valve most likely has a relief in the...
