Odd coincidence there, might check the pressure relief valve might be stuck. Good luck.

Oh, hard to see but each one has a door cut into the side, I put the doors together while filling so wood wouldn't fall out.

So I finally got done what was supposed to be my October project (life got in the way) all the wood is off the ground now. First time I tried dropping into totes, I usually stack it:

But if it were me I would try to get the diesel going again if possible. Good luck.

Good luck. Maybe you can swap parts, I'm not familiar with the 3000.

I'm not sure what pump shaft is, but both diesel and gas models had hydraulics, maybe this will help: TractorData.com Ford 3000 tractor attachments information

For all you "face cord" folks, I translate that as 1/3 cord...am I far off?

Thanks!:)

We've been eating Richard's for years, won't touch anything else.

Can the pump be rebuilt or do you have to replace?

I fixed my steering and was able to do a little work today, good to have a working tractor this time of year!

And finally got it back together, tested with no leaks today, did some work: Nice to have steering!

I see my image above didn't load, so again, bench work:

That's a weird one! Sorry, I can't help.

Here we had the EAB years ago and ALL of the ash are dead here, been burning it for years. Ash burns nice but as noted before cherry etc is better, hotter with better coals. And yes, ash makes more ash but I clean the ash tray daily anyway.

Crow's foot wrench almost worked on hose removal on cylinder end but it was frozen and rounded off. Pulled the steering cylinder, with the vise and heat the hoses came off. Now all that is left is get new hoses and put everything back together:

Bit the bullet and pulled the battery and radiator, easy, took me an hour and I work slow these days. It will be easy to replace the hoses now:

Thanks, I hadn't thought about those. Might work, have to look again with those in mind. I'm almost resigned to pulling the radiator, a little more work but straight forward.

1. Yes, the brakes should clear. 2. Did you give it time to clear the air out of the cylinders? They will self bleed the air. 3. Try switching hoses at the quick connects? If no luck, a photo of what you have would help folks figure it out. Good luck!

So I found a video where one guy removed his radiator to get access, looks like the only way?

Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or tools to do this? I can't see how to get a wrench on hoses above the front axel? Thanks in advance.

Nice. I built a tripod from some locust poles and a boat trailer winch, works well:

Well, now prime is going to add commercials to their videos or you can pay $2.99/ month extra for no adverts! I say no, greedy b*stards.

Yes, my light goes out about 4 seconds after I turn on the key, then I crank it.

I'll jump in here about totes: love them, tall 330 I measure as 3/8 cord stacked even with top, shorts at 1/4 cord, cut the plastic tank to make tops, can't lift with fel only the 3 pt, all stored outside. I go from splitter to tote, tote to house. Haven't found a better way. Oh, totes here go...

I too was thinking logging/skidding chains...

I did top and tilt, you will love it!

I'm happy with my Victory side shift flail, but I am a light user and haven't needed any parts. I've had it three seasons so far. Flail Mowers for sale online

These guys buy and sell salvage tractors and parts, bought my tractor there: Weaver's Compact Tractor Parts & Compact Tractor Salvage

For my tilt cylinder I had to go to a hydraulic shop and they found one to order. I couldn't find anything online.

I use field fence and make 3' diameter cages, works great and lasts for years and years. :)

I'm planning a container but only have room for a 20'. I would definitely go with the 40' in your case, twice the space for a little bit more money!

There are ducks and there are ducks, ours was 6 lbs. raw. Domestic duck of course. We used to have a Canada goose for dinner when we were lucky.

Duck l'orange and smoked salmon and many many cheeses.

Merry Christmas friends!:)

Good point Ruffdog. Sometimes I have to wiggle the key before the indicator light will come on in the "run" key position, and then the timer will function.

Well, on mine the glow plug indicator light comes on with the key and goes out after 4 seconds and then is ready to start. Either your glow plugs or the relay are not working. I'm not sure how to diagnose it.

Yes, I take it off for tilling, finger tight only.

Yes, I removed the case for the repair. I have a fair amount of experience working with fiberglass, made my own surfboard in high school.

Yes, the repair is fiberglass and west system epoxy over the rusted chain case. No leaks.

You are right, it is a parking stand.

Well, it a kind of yellow, I don't have anything green either:

Well, I found a used JD 4 foot tiller so that is what I use. Width of tires is 60", but the tire tracks really don't matter that much, works fine.

I used stick on vinyl letters, pretty cheap.

Mine is named Brian:

Between the clamp on forks and the SSQA forks are these chain on forks, spreads the load on the bucket, I have these, good quality and work well. Has a hole for a spreader bar but I haven't needed one. Good service on the sale and delivery: Bucket Pallet Forks - Pair

Another ash down in the yard, clean up will wait for cooler weather, the poison ivy and grape vine will add to the fun:

I bolted a receiver hitch carry all to the ROPS, works great, cost about $75 total.

Thanks guys, I see it NOW!

Good point. I for one (never a professional) don't know what "barber chair" means? Sounds bad from the context...

I turned up a new garden patch today, needs smoothing...

Oldpath, it is pretty easy to make a kiln for small production: build a box with sheets of insulation board, tape edges with silver tape, and place a small dehumidifier inside with drain outside, works great!

I added a new tool tray to hold a larger tool box. Moved the QC mounts three times before I built the tool tray:

I made a new tray to hold a larger tool box, and added QCs with top and tilt.

It was tricky routing the tanks hoses:

Thanks again everyone. New rear remotes work!

And another angle of the joystick:

It was recommended to tap into power beyond at the joystick. I'm a newby to hydraulics. I've attached photos of my joystick. Anybody recognize the joystick (it is not as shown on my parts diagram)? How to get power beyond? Thanks.

Ah spring! I got to try out my new to me Atlantic plow: dug a new drainage ditch:

I have most of those hand tools and a spud wrench, very handy.

Got around to taking off the collapsed roof that failed under the 3 feet of snow last January:

Ah, thanks!

Took down the ailing European mountain ash, more wood for next winter. This trick for bucking it up that I got from this forum really works well and saves my back:

Put some mushroom compost on the tomato garden today:

The paint/coating on the radiator fins has peeled off and is rusting in several areas. Should I try to repaint it or is this fairly normal wear and tear? Not sure if I'm just borrowing sorrow or does this need to be addressed. Thanks. No significant snow yet in Washington Co. MD...

Had to clean out 30 years of junk to make room for my new to me NH:

I'm trying to decide between engine block heater (NH freeze plug model), coolant heater (inline hose), magnetic pan heater, or oil dipstick heater? What's your experience?

What kind of chains do you all use? Any good sources? Mainly for plowing a hilly gravel driveway, thanks.
