    Ford 2000 Remote Hydraulic Setup

    I want to rent a seed drill. It requires hydraulics to raise and lower each side of the implement (2 hoses). The tractor is a 1971 Ford 2000 diesel. What's the cheap way to set up remote hydraulics on my tractor to do this? What hydraulic thread - BSP, NPT, ORB?

    Ford 2000 power steering/clutch replacement

    1971 Ford 2000 diesel. Two questions: 1) I have about a 4" toe out. Was that way when I bought the tractor. I tried adjusting the drag links shorter but could only get so far. I'm wondering if I have the wrong LH drag link, it seems to measure longer than what Yesterday's Tractors advertises...

    Rotary Cutter  buying advice - Titan rotary cutter, unknown used

    My old 5' Howse broke again, and I'll probably replace the gearbox even if I just want to sell the brush hog. But I'm looking on Craigslist, and there's a new Titan 6' that seems to be priced right ($1250, 1300 series?). And then there is this used 6' RC for $600 "Not sure what kind it is, ok...

    Broke a small stud on fuel pump :(

    So I did a really stupid thing and I need somebody more clever than I to fix it. Its a CAV diesel pump on a 1971 Ford 2000. I seem to have over-torqued the closed nut that keeps the top cover on, and after a couple months time/hours use, it snapped. Diesel spurting everywhere. In the picture...

    Steering leak 1971 Ford 2000 - replace oil seals?

    I've had this tractor for a little while now, and I got around to checking the steering, and there was no fluid in the box. So I filled it up with 80w-90. In 2 days there was almost no fluid in the box, it all leaked down the sector arms. Its got what I think is called power-assist...its got...

    Can/Should/How Would I Weld Grader Blade Arm? (Pics)

    Is this worth fixing? I got it recently and it lasted about 30 minutes of use. Looks like a lot of force is exerted in this area. The new weld was my amateur attempt, and lasted about 2 minutes. I can bring it to a professional, I think its beyond my scope...

    Buying Advice  Input on shopping for older mid-size tractor

    I've had an 8N for years. Though its a good tractor in its own right, I'm tired of messing with it, and I really need something with more power. I bought a Ford 6600 at an auction. It was way more tractor than I needed. Sold it a few days ago and I'd like to get something that is appropriate for...

    Drive/PTO stops while brush hogging?

    I got this Ford 6600 tractor a few days ago and was using it to brush hog today. I think at some point, after a couple hours, the tractor and the PTO stopped moving. Lowered the throttle, disengaged and re-engaged PTO, disengaged and re-engaged gear, and it went a few minutes longer, then I...

    Buying Advice  Looking for my second tractor

    So I've been using a '51 8N for a few years now and I'm ready to upgrade. I really like the design and character of the 8N but it has a few shortcomings for my applications. I don't mind old, and I don't mind doing maintenance and light and medium repairs on a tractor (my wife jokes every time I...

    8N Electrical Issue

    1948 8N (front coil) converted to 12V before I had. So a couple years back I got this tractor running, but have had starting issues since the beginning. I have followed wiring advice, and have replaced solenoid twice, battery twice, starter rebuilt and also replaced with new starter, and new...
