Kinda late answer but if you go through the trouble of a split, there is not too much additional cost to remove the big spline and replace the bearings and the seals. If you don't, oil seeps into you clutch pack and you are splitting the tractor again. I don't hink it cost me even $400 to...

I paid $3800 a few years ago for a Ford 3600 diesel with 2100 hours with a finishing mower and a bushhog. That model has power steering, 12V electrics, and actually starts when you need it to start. I am not personally experienced with Jubilee era but every time I hear the phrase "gasoline...

"I KNOW WHAT I GOT..DUNT LOWBALL MEH!" Said every boomer ever trying to unload something tired for the same price as new.

Friends, I read this thread. How a clutch plate of friction material fuses to a flywheel with rust is a mystery to me. I am an idiot and more than that I have a certification in it. Henry took this in mind when he designed the 3600. It is stupid simple and anvil tough. The Ford 3600 clutch and...

I would not buy a tractor to do initial clearing work. It is possible but slow and even a big stump jumper is not able to do everything, and I have done about 8000 sq. feet of heavy clearing in N. Georgia hardwood forest so I know 1st hand. I used a chainsaw and a bushhog with 40 PTO HP and it's...

My thought is a used tractor. A Ford 4000SU or 4000 if you are using a FEL due to the robustness of the front axle. The Ford 3600 has less front axle but can take an FEL. These are 50 year old tractors but parts are still available at a good price because they are revered by Punjabi farmers, so...

I had to split my tractor to repair a $1 freeze plug. I decided to rebuild the dual clutch and replace seals and bearings. One of the clutch arm's hardware was broken so the pressure was not equal but no FW damage. I fixed it and all of the other little gremlins and wiring and main cables for...

Oh yeah - this price is a steal with the 2nd engine. If it's knocking, it has a spun bearing or a main bearing. In terms of cost, that's not a expensive fix, not like having a some bad gears. $4000 is a very good price, the loader alone is $2000.

Personally, I wouldn't have a gasser, but you are in Michigan..it saves you from wondering if the injection pump is okay because a gasser would not have one. Any injection pump is an expensive fix relative to other fixes. 4000 has a front axle that is ideal for a loader, I always am suspect of...

Did not happen yet. Dog said: "That woman you conned into matrimony, she's still hopeful about your demise by accident. Quick payout of claims. It's the only thing keeping her alive."

I did that sir. Thank you for this idea. I use an insert with a clevis to lower items out of my truck.

I am just about your age. I have a 20 year old 026 that I bought when I had less land in the burbs and I use more firewood now for heat when I can. My 026 was a fine saw for homeowner use but it made the work take longer. I had been looking to get another saw to help the 026...not...

I got a rim from some outfit that makes them in Northern Iowa. "Titan" I think. They shipped it to me. I had the calcium too and boy oh boy was it nasty. Bleached the concrete on contact. I just have a 2nd helping all winter to make of for the loss of ballast.

Nothing should be "loose" or floppy. Remove the throw-out bearing & carrier and the fork that connects the carrier to the clutch pedal via the shaft connected to the pedal. You may want to replace the throw-out bearing as long as you are split. Remove the 5 bolts for the support tube around the...

So I did complete the split. Put in two new clutch plates, did the rear seals and PTO input seal/bearing. Spent a lot of time to adjust the clutch fingers and pedal adjustment, works great. I replaced the seals for the steering and the old seal plastic was so hard, they were really difficult to...

Great tractor and looks good, but $8K seems a little steep for a 3000 hour tractor, even one that seems to have had a easy life. I bought a 3600 diesel for under 4k with a beat up bush hog and a really beat finishing mower. It required about $1000 in tires and maint not including time in the...

Yes it is possible to bleed with the engine running. Start closest to the fuel tank with the little bolt head on top center of the fuel filter body, crack and bleed and close, then the banjo on the cylinder closest to the tank, crack and bleed and close, ect until you run out of cylinders. Why...

Opened up PP, no gouging. Still some meat on the PTO disk but it did not look as good as drive disk, both will be replaced. Bell housing was full of oil. I thing the seal where the shaft goes into the gearbox needs to be replaced.

Traveling by car from GA to IA and you have to go through Illinois for 20 miles. Pull over, unload gun put gun and ammo in separate cases, secure with a lock, drive 20 miles, leave Illinois, Pull out gun, reload, back in holster. All of those charges will be dropped, nobody is going to prosecute...

My country hated me first. My country calls me a terrorist. My county made laws that limited my access to education and employment because of my race. My country is occupied by a foreign ethnostate seeking to destroy my race. My country shoots citizens in the citizen's legislative branch without...

Yup, plastics, estrogens in milk and water. Feminization of our culture. Nobody learns a trade. It's not a class issue, it's a values problem. How does this happen? We have let our institutions become neutered and subverted. The expectations of men and women are now reduced to "genders"...

Thank you for the advice Ford tractor friends. I did split the 3600 tractor. It was more complicated than the 3000s I saw on YouTube. There is an inspection plate with a standard screw on the right side going into the bell housing. There were also 3 bolts in the same plate going into the block...

Thanks one and all for the feedback. It is six years later. I have dragged some oak trunks, some maple, some lighter woods. I have filled my military trailer full of uncured firewood. I pulled with chains on those hooks many times. It's a handy setup. I drilled holes in the bottom for a ripper...

Thank you. Will reinforce that point. I understand what you are saying there.

Took the tractor out this morning, noticed a significant coolant stream leaking from the right side under the starter. It was in the garage with antifreeze in the coolant. I suspect a corroded or displaced engine casting plug or a crack in the block. It is not the top one.(too easy) Did not see...

It is Sunday and a day of rest, unless you are me. I am a believer that God wants me working every wakeful hour or he'd have made me wealthy by now, so today I worship, work, and leisure simultaneously at the Church of Applied Agricultural Metallurgy. Extend tongue and substitute the Eucharist...

Slave driver!! Did my wife call you? Yes, so that you would have something to look at in the comfort of your favourite chair, I ignored the hangover I had, and finished this. I also let it cool for paint and kept on working by feeding some honey bees who thanked me by stinging me through a...

PROLOGUE The winter came and went. Anticipating the procurement and installation of a wood burning fireplace in the fall, I decided to harvest a fallen oak blown down in a storm a few years ago. Of course I used my 3 PT TRAILER HITCH OF DEATH (previously posted) to pull a military trailer UP...

I have an 8" I-beam segment slightly wider than the crown of my rear R1s . I want to weld it into a heavy duty box blade have any of you seen or done this? It will be used for leveling compacted soils for clearings, footings, ect. Pictures are helpful.

Very helpful looking at other folks ideas. I thought about what I needed which was a pintle hitch, ball hitch, and a way to quickly hook up chains for logs. To establish the optimum ball height, I took measurements of my hitch heights of my two trailers and the height of the lift arms and top...

All hail the tool snob! Why consider someone buying only what one needs or can afford when you can claim how superior your tools are?! I see your welding table and raise you a $2000 industrial helical planetary gear swingbar wrench for my $5000 tractor's wheels!! Pooh pooh upon your lowly...
