    Ford 2000 Engine Seized

    I parked my Ford 2000, 3 cyl gas, for about a year and a half and it is now seized. I poured ATF in after removing spark plugs last night to let it soak and was going to try to break her free this evening. Any tips you could offer? I was going to try rocking it while in gear (3rd gear high)...

    Ford 2000 - 3 pt lift issues?

    As the title says, I've got a Ford 2000 and have been struggling to get a good plow to run right, and I now think the reasoning is to something wrong with my lift system. With the tractor off and no attachments attached, if I lift up on the leveling arm, it moves up a little bit before the lift...

    Year 2, more plow setup issues

    As some may remember, I played **** last year trying to get my Double bottom setup on my Ford 2000 and pretty much ended up having to wing it in the long run to have a decent seed bed. Well, this is the 2nd year I've had it now and can't get it set up for the life of me and am getting nowhere...

    Buttercup infestation in wheat and oats

    As the title says, I've got a buttercup infestation in some of my oats and a bit of my wheat. Both have grain growing really well on them and are about a month from harvest. Really dark green goes quickly to a light green where the buttercups are really thick at, and it's really starting to...

    Which to use? Plow or discs?

    This is the first year I've had the luxury of having a tractor to help to do work, but I haven't fully figured out when to use all my different attachments yet. I've got one small tract that Im going to be planting that was plowed and disced about a month ago, and has just sat there since with...

    Cultivator for weed control

    I've been struggling at finding the info that I'm looking for, so figured I'd make a post here. I've recently got some ground ready for planting, but now can't seem to decide what size rows to plant. I know it will depend someone on what will be planted. I've got approximately 42 inches...

    Another plow setup question

    As some of you may remember from a somewhat recent post of mine, I got screwed by this guy and was sold a plow that was sprung and it was impossible to get it set up properly. I ended up running into a steal of a deal on a 14" double bottom Leinbach plow this week and it's still pretty much in...

    Heavy discs on Ford 2000?

    I'm in desperate need of getting some discs, and can't seem to find a set of used ones in good enough shape. I was considering buying a set of County line 7' heavy discs. I've got a 3 cylinder gas Ford 2000. Will my tractors hydraulics be able to lift these discs with no issue? Thanks

    WTB Discs, 6 - 7.5 ft range, NC and VA

    As the title says, I'm looking to buy a set of discs in the 6 - 7.5 ft width range. I'm looking for something in at least decent condition, and not something that needs a bunch of work. I'd like to get em home and be able to start using them. I live in North eastern NC near the VA border but am...

    Plow questions and good match?

    Ive got a Ford 2000 3 cyl gas and just bought a John Deere 415 double plow last weekend. I've been trying to mess with it a bit but am bot really getting anywhere at all. I've done lots of reading on the forums and elsewhere but still can't seem to figure it out. First question is, is the JD...

    Hydraulics moving without touching controls

    1970 Ford 2000 3 Cyl Gas The other week I went to replace the pto seal on the tractor, and something came up and wasn't able to finish it. The farthest I got was draining the rear oil and refilling it. The old oil seemed to have a bit of water contamination in it. (Not sure if this bit of...

    Plow question

    I'm in need of getting a plow for use around the property, and was browsing Agrisupply's website tonight. When looking at their plows, I found 2 similar plows, but they're extremely different in price. I'm new to the tractor world and not familiar with all the ins and outs yet. Could someone...

    Discs for Ford 2000

    I've got 3 cyl Ford 2000 gasser and was having trouble finding out what the biggest size discs that the tractor could handle. Wheel base is 74 inches I believe. I was looking at one for sale that was a 6'er that weighs 1831#. Not only am I wondering what the biggest weight wise I could run with...

    Testing soil pH

    I've already sent out several soil samples from my property in all the areas that i plan on growing and recieved results back from those in the beginning of December. A few weeks later, I put out 1500 lbs of the 4000 lbs of lime that I needed. The next day or two had a constant light...

    Questions about plowing implements

    I've done some searching in the forums and online along with talking to a couple people in person, but I still don't feel like I have a good grasp on what implements I need that will be a good balance of getting the job done along with cost of the implement / implements. I know there are...

    Removing PTO shaft Ford 2000

    I've got a 1970 3 cyl Ford 2000 with live PTO. I drained the rear oil today and went to remove the pto shaft to replace the oil seal and bearing. To no luck, I wasnt able to get the shaft to come out. I'm pretty sure part of the issue is there is RTV sealant or something similar holding the...

    Ford 2000 Hydraulic Leak

    As the title says, I've got a 3 cyl Ford 2000, I believe it's a '68 but the specific year shouldn't matter. On the right side of the tractor, there are 2 lines (1 larger 1 smaller diameter) running there in which I assume both are hyd lines. There's a bit of hyd oil over the fitting where it...
