I'm working on putting this back to normal and I'm not sure where the 2 little lines coming out the top of the reservoir go. I've attached a pic. It was like this when I got it. The front line is just hanging under the tractor. There is a piece of fitting in it, and there is a fitting on the...

I'm trying to repair the reverser in my 301a. I found the front seal completelty shot, and a bigger problem. For whatever reason, the clutch pack is digging into the front housing. (pic below) There are no thrust washers or anything in it. Also the center hole where the seal goes is a good...

I bought this a couple years ago with this problem and I'm just now getting back around to fixing it. It works great in reverse but in forward nothing at all. It doesn't even try. I'm actually suspect of the valve block because it's cover is leaking a bit. It has a homemade gasket but it looks...

I've attached a few pics. I have no idea what this is for. It just says push to reset, and it looks like a hose coming out of it and going under the hood. I didn't trace it because even if I did find where it goes, I still wouldn't know what it does. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Not thinking for a minute, I pulled the cam gear off the cam shaft without paying attention to where it was. Now I'm not sure how it is positioned on the shaft. You would think it would only go on one way but it has 3 bolts and no matter how you turn it, the bolt holes all align. There is no...

I've changed a few 3000 clutches and they're often different. The one I need to change now is about $450. I can get one for half the price that looks to me like it should work. Both have the same disc size and the spline count is the same 10 and 29. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Are the...

I'm rebuilding my dads to30 that's been sitting about 5 years. Got it all together and working great. Checked the 3 pt and it was working fine. Drove it around the yard a few times and when I parked it I noticed that the 3 pt was all the way up and realized that it wouldn't go down. I noticed...

I have a 65 diesel with a 2 post delco alternator or generator 1100501. It's pretty shot. I have a 2 post delco alternator or generator 1100998 I believe came from a 35 gas. I dont see any reason this wont work in place of the other one. It fits, but it doesn't seem to work either. Both have 2...

I've got an 8n that I just got going and the clutch keeps getting stuck. I'm wondering if theres anything I can spray on it to stop it. I'm hoping it will stop on its own but I dont know. When I got it the clutch was stuck. I split the tractor and got it loose (maybe I should have pulled it and...

I just got this tractor. It's never going to run again. It is going to to look restored and then sit beside the driveway where everyone can enjoy it. The previous owner modified the front wheels to put rubber tires on it. I want to make a pair of wheels that look like the originals but when I...

My son has an excavator with a 3tnv76q in it. It was kind of running but it would only move a few feet and bog down and stall. And then it quit running all together. He pulled the injector lines and #1 was just dumping fuel out as soon as he turned the key on. 2 and 3 had quit pumping. He...

I'm rebuilding a perkins 4.203 in an mf65. The kit comes with liners and I planned on replacing them. While looking around I seen several posts saying most liners need to be bored after installation. How can I tell if these are supposed to be bored after installation or not? They came in a kit...

I've also posted my 8n HERE This restore happened over several years and 3 owners. The person that started it did an amazing job. Way better then I would have. They rebuilt the motor and tranny. They patched up most of the rust, actually welded them in and ground them down till they looked...

I've also posted my MF35 HERE I've built a few old tractors. A couple back I started taking pics and I thought I'd post them if anyone wants to see them. If there's an interest I have one or two more that I took pics of. This one's an 8n When I got it, it ran but only had 2 gears because the...

I have an mf65. The number for the tractor on the plate by the battery are CNDW 701 302 There is no tag on the motor. The only numbers I can find on the block (left side) is C37112210Y and below that is MC22827 I've attached a pic of the tag on the injection pump but it's pretty beat up and...

I'm rebuilding my dads harry ferguson and I need to find out what model and year it is. The serial number is TO-128857 and it was made in detroit. and it has a continental Z-129 motor. I've attached a pic of the tag. I tried looking it up with google but got nowhere with that. I also need to...

Can anyone tell me what motor this is? It's in an IH B275. Casting number is 3040912R2 I googled it and it came up as a BC-144 but when I look for BC-144 nothing comes up. I'm thinking someone made a typo and it's actually a BD-144 I really need to verify what motor it is. Any help is always...

Trying to figure out what tractor I just got. It was listed as a 5000, which it's not. Pretty sure it's not a 4500 either. I believe its in the 3000 or 4000 series. The hood is gone, so no numbers there. It is a 3 cyl diesel with a standard dual range tranny. It has a loader and backhoe but they...

I think I know the answer to this but I've never actually ran into this before. I have an IH b275 diesel that was froze up from sitting. I was going to rebuild it. I got the pistons out and flipped it over to pull the crank and liners but when I pulled the main caps one was actually broken in...

I have a ford 4500 with a 4 speed power reversing transmission. It has a torque converter instead of a clutch. The numbers (as best I can make out) by the starter are D 5011F OD10B G268477 On the side of the tranny 1211 69 43101 L The front transmission seal is leaking. Can anyone tell me the...

I have someone that wants to trade in 2 jd m model gas tractors that don't run on a ford 3000 diesel and I have no idea if there's any demand for these or what they're worth in florida. I don't usually get into older john deeres so I'm lost here. Are these sought after or are they going to be...

I' going .020 over on this motor. I got a kit with pistons for it on ebay and the pistons look different. I know this doesn't mean they're not the right pistons especialy with it going 20 over. but I want to make sure before having it bored 20 over and putting it together just to find that it's...

I have a 4000 with a knock in it. I already put bearings in it before pulling the motor but it didn't seem to help much. I haven't measured everything yet. I did get the pistons. 4.394 was the smallest measurement across. 4.386 parallel with wrist pin. Bores are 4.401 - 4.404. Should it be...

I just bought this. It had been sitting for a while due to a transmission problem. We put a battery in it and it started right up and ran fine for a good 5 minutes, then it stalled and wouldn't start back up. Next day it started right up but it only runs a few seconds and quits again. When it...

I'm trying to find out what model a tractor I just got is. I'm not finding a lot of info going by what few numbers I have. It's gas and has A35580 on the panel below the dash. I think it may be a 430. the backhoe and loader are model 23 Unfortunately the hood is homemade so there's no numbers...

I need the high pressure power steering hose for my 4500. When I look on ebay I can't find anything for 4500 so I look for 4000, which usually works. But the hose that comes up fits 2000, 3000, and a few others. I have a 3000 and the hose on it is not the same. My 4500 has the big cylinder down...

My 4500 is really hard to start when its cold {not warmed up}. It's like 60 here and it is really hard to start unless its warmed up. The intake heater is working but its still not enough. The starter is turning the motor at about 200 rpms. I'm not sure how fast it should be turning but I'm...

Can anyone tell me what this lever is for. I can't find anything on it. It pulls out from the casing and then you can move it down. Thanks for any help :) John

I need to know what kind of tranny this is and more importantly whats inside. It's in a 4500, or at least thats what the frame is. As best I can tell its some sort of automatic. Heres a few pics. There is no clutch pedal or anywhere for one. It has a shifter on top but I'm not sure how many...

Ants got in my distributor and filled it with damp dirt so now everything is rusted. I need to remove the timing advance or disassemble it so I can clean out the dirt and rust. I've already pulled the plate with the points on it. Can I remove the 2 little nuts and disassemble the advance still...

I have a 4500 that was froze up, and the starter was froze up too. It has a 3 cylinder diesel. I tore it down and replaced the rings, gaskets, etc. And I got the starter working but I'm not sure its working exactly right. Now it turns over and I get white smoke but I'm pretty sure its not...

This is on a tractor I bought. When I got it the guy said he couldn't get it reprimed. Most of the wiring was gone and he had just replaced the starter so I do believe he did a lot of cranking on it. I'm not exactly sure what tractor it is. I think it might be a 601 workmaster. Before...

I bought this tractor with the motor froze up from sitting too long. Got the motor working but cant get the injector pump to pump at all. The injector lines are disconnected at the pump and nothing at all will come out, not a drop. The pump is pumping fuel out a crack in the return line between...

I'm trying to see if I need a starter or a solenoid, or possibly even neither. I'm not familiar with this type of starter. It has more wires then I'm used to. So I have the ground cable and the hot cable hooked up. I touch the red wire I marked B to the hot side of the battery and the...

I've got a ford D5011F with a 3 cylinder diesel in it. I cant find anything on a 5000 with a 3 cylinder. Did they make them with a 3 cylinder or did someone put something else in it? The numbers on the bell housing are correct. I'm not sure where to look for numbers on the engine itself. The...

I'm helping my son with his 2000. The clutch is shot but it also has oil on it and in the bottom of the bell housing. Its not a lot of oil but it is getting on the clutch and any oil on the clutch is a problem I don't want to put a new clutch in it just to have it ruined with oil. With the...

Hi. I'm looking at a diesel 580CK with a shuttle shift transmission that has been sitting for years and doesn't run. The guy says its from the 60s or 70s. I'm not familiar with the shuttle shift transmission. Are they durable like a manual, or do they use hydraulics like the hydrostatic...

Trying to help my son with his 2000. I think its a 74 It is a 3 cyl with a holly carb. At low speed it runs fine. When you put it under load, or even go from idle to full, it takes a few seconds to wind up. It seems like the high speed mix is too rich. I'm not familiar with this carb and I cant...

I went to get this 2000 but I dont think its actually a 2000. I'm trying to identify it. The hood and dash resemble a jubilee or naa. It's a 4 cylinder diesel. The dash has holes for the tach and 2 smaller gauges. It has power assisted steering. The injector pump is nothing like the 2000s I see...

My 9n has one exhaust valve seat that is burnt really bad. It looks like it was ran for some time with it leaking. I'm going to try recutting it. Does anyone know the angle? It looks like a 45 but I'm guessing. Also I would really prefer to replace the seat but I can't find anything on a new...

I have a 9n thats been sitting so long that it had 5 stuck valves in it. One was so bad I had to pull the guide with the valve in it, and then work the valve out of the guide. The gasket set I got for it has rubber seals that look like they might go in the groove on the guide but there was no...

My 3pt quit working. I posted on it some time ago but I wound up working on another one and now I can't find the post. Any way. It was out of fluid but it also had a backhoe attached to it incorrectly so it could be something broken. It lifts the arms with nothing attached but its so weak I can...

I loaned out my to-30 with a backhoe on it and it came back with the lever for the 3 pt all the way up even though its not used for the backhoe, and it had about 1 gallon of oil in it. Now the 3 pt floats up even with the lever down. Regardless of where the lever is you can push the arms down...

My to-30 is low on tranny fluid and I'm not sure exactly what kind to use. I've read that the ford 90 from TSC will work. I don't know this to be fact. I read it somewhere. Is this correct? And is there any type available from an auto part store? I'm in florida so cold isn't an issue. Any help...

I just bought a ford jubilee with a sherman backhoe on it. I think its a 54b but I don't really know. The plumbing on the valve block on this backhoe looks crazy to me. It looks like it was used with this valve block but someone replaced several of the lines and I'm not so sure that everything...

My 660 has the 5 speed that you pull up for 1st and rev. push down for 2 and 3, down farther for 4 and 5. In another post I was told is has a live pto via 2 stage clutch. I have 2 problems {maybe related} 1st. I have to shut the tractor off to put the pto in gear. Clutch for tranny works fine...

Got a ford tractor with no original tin. The hood, grill, and dash are homemade. I do have some numbers but I'm not real sure how they work. On the block is EAE 6015-H which I believe doesn't really mean anything At the left rear of the motor is 660 and under it is 60756. According to info I...

I need to replace the hydraulic pump, or get it repaired. The tractor is an mt1801 with a 4 cyl diesel. I can get a new pump for $550, or a used one for $350. A bit more then I wanted to spend on a used pump and I don't really need new, but I don't know what I can replace it with, or if it can...

My 4 cyl mitsubishi blew a seal in the hydraulic pump and pumped a gallon of fluid into the motor. It immediately started smoking. I drained the oil and replaced it with the correct amount of sae 40. And I disconnected the pump. I've ran it about 20 minutes and its still smoking {white I think}...

Hi. My tractor has been running fine. Just used it yesterday. Today I was using it for about 5 minutes when suddenly the engine slowed down and it started blowing smoke. Lots of it. after parking it, I pulled the dipstick and the oil started running out. I know it didn't have too much oil, but...
