Hi folks, was hoping to get some help with a problem that I'm sure is of my own doing. I have a 67 Ford 3000 gas that would not start. The original symptom is that with a brand new factory spec battery, the starter solenoid would just click but not send any juice to the starter. I replaced...

Need some help identifying what looks to me to be an old sickle bar mower. What once was my Grandad's tobacco farm in southern VA is now mostly grown over. Occasionally I get up there to walk around and from time to time I will run across a relic from my Grandad's past. All I can tell you...

Hi folks, I've just opened up a new project and thought I would let everyone in on it. My Ford 3000 sits on a farm that's a couple hours drive so I only get to see it and ride maybe on weekends. So I've been dreaming of something I can have around my suburban house that won't take up much...

Hi folks and Happy New Year. I have a 67 Ford 3000 gas, with 4 speed transmission. Normally it works great but the other day driving between fields I put it in 4th gear and in a few seconds it popped out of gear. I tried all other gears and they seem to be fine. I tried 4th again and it...

Now that I'm a first time tractor owner, I decided to browse through the local Agri Supply store to see what else I might want for my tractor. I found plenty of items but came away with a question on how to measure parts that can be adjusted for length. There are many potential places this...

I'm a history nut. I enjoy reading about it, but even more I enjoy finding history and learning about it, especially where my family is concerned. The farm that I call mine is not really mine, my father owns it but his health does not allow him to work it or even visit it. Furthermore it's...

When I bought my 67 Ford 3000 none of the dash instruments worked. Now that I've had a chance to get some other routine maintenance out of the way, I would like to tackle this problem. I have found several online resources to purchase the parts but now I'm left wondering where to begin...

Last winter I finally found the perfect tractor. Well perfect for me anyways, it's a 67 Ford 3000. Despite it's appearance it runs great and I love it. I borrowed a two axle trailer from a buddy of mine and in my rush of excitement never even considered the need to operate the trailer brakes...

Hi folks, I purchased my first tractor over the winter and used it several times already for bush hogging. Now that there are too many bees and snakes and wild critters running around the old farm I have the tractor home and want to do some maintenance. This is a 1967 Ford 3000 gas. I know...

Hello all, this is a great forum and I've already learned a lot from reading the posts. I did want to get a bit more specific information. I haven't operated a tractor since I pulled a hay wagon for my Grandad probably 15 years ago. He is gone now and my Dad is in possession of the farm. I...
