Well an old Ford guy (3000 and 3600) that needed something with turf tires. Found a Kubota B7100HST 4 wheel drive with a bad motor along with a good motor. It will run but is hard to start and has allot of blow-by. Good motor came out of a low hour B7100 with a bad transmission, had to take the...

Just bought a Ford 3600 that has been sitting for some time.and wondering about the clutch. It isn't completely stuck like most threads I see on stuck clutches. It will release if I start it in gear with the brakes held. I can push in on the clutch then release the brakes and the tractor will...

We have one of those scale fake windmills in the yard that has some sentimental value, it belonged to the wife's mother. I have removed the rotor to install new bearings on the fan but noticed the aluminum bearing the rotor rotates in to align itself with the wind is in pretty bad shape. The...

I have free access to an old 7 foot flail mower, think it might be a Mott but not sure. Thinking of scavenging what I can off the flail mower to give me a pretty good start on a power rake build. The mowers drum already has teeth (so to speak) in the way of flail mounts, I have a good gear box...

Have an old beat up abused Ford Spring field cultivator. About the only parts worth saving are the frame and hitch. It was left in the dirt and the spring tines are in really bad shape. I have the frame stripped down to basically the angle iron with the 3 point hitch. Thinking of just ordering...

Really have no desire to have liquid filled tires as I do allot of mowing and the Ag tires do enough damage when the ground is soft without adding weight. That being said, next spring I am going to be plowing about an acre to plant sunflowers and what little experimenting I have done tells me I...

Bought a Ford 3000 diesel in 05 with a loader and have been working it during the summer months every since, mostly mowing 8 acres and moving gravel for the drive. It has always had a knock that if I didn't think different would swear was a rod. Don't believe a rod knock would last 12 years and...

In the process of resurrecting an old John Deere corn planter and have three cast pieces that have been broken. All 3 pieces were broken at a bolt mounting point, read stress points. I have some of the broken off pieces but not all, will have to make mild steel pieces to fit what is missing. I...

Posted this thread in the New Holland AG forum and guess it would have been better to have posted it here. Rather than repost here is the link. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/new-holland-ag-tractors/371885-ford-3000-lift-adjustments.html

Rebuilding the lift on my 71 3000 and just finished the two lift adjustments as outlined in the IT manual but not real confident they are correct. First adjustment is in Draft control and you adjust the turnbuckle. The IT manual says for current model to set the control valve to 0.030 measured...

Rescued an old Ferguson 2-14 plow from the junk man and am in the process of seeing if I can make it usable. I thought it had the wrong shares but after taking it apart discovered the saddles are bent and cracked. Would be near impossible to get replacement saddles so the only choice is to fix...

Over the winter I am going to pull the lift cover off my 71 Ford 3000. The lift doesn't go all the way up with a load but will with nothing on the 3pt. I really have no idea what may be causing this but felt rebuilding the lift was a good place to start. This will be my first experience with...

Hi Folks, Found this forum several years ago but just signed up. Bought a 71 Ford 3000 diesel with a loader when we bought our place (8 acres) 9 years ago. Guess I have the normal run of the mill implements, box blade, landscape rake and mower. Drug an old well used and beat Ford flail mower...
