I'm changing the fuel line from the sediment bowl to the carburetor to a steel line with flared fittings. Just don't run the new fitting into the carb too far or it will break out the threaded part of the carb. That's experience talking. I was fortunate enough to know someone with a top part of...

Well after that the high pressure line going into the hydraulic pump blew out. So we pulled it up to the...

Wanting to add a 730 loader to my Ford 2000. Looking at the center axle pivot pin, I have a solid pin. I am guessing I would need to update the pivot pin to a hollow pin to accept the splined shaft of the loader pump?

Any idea what it would be worth? Runs good, converted to 12v, and has power steering. Do these have live pto? Primary use would be brush hogging ATV trails, tilling food plots, etc.

My 3-point lift lifts OK and will hold anything i lift up as long as the lever is all the way up, even when shut off. The problem that I have is that only the last couple of inches of the lever control all the motion. How do I get a full range of the lever? Is there any adjustment? Something broken?

I have searched this question in a dozen different search engines with no real help at all. Hopefully, some of you guys will know. Considering the 1962-1965 Ford 2000, what does one look for to determine whether a tractor is a "Utility" or a Wide-Front Row-Crop ? >>: On EDIT: I was looking at...

Hello all. I have a check valve leak on the lift cover assembly of my 1966 Ford 2000 3-CYL Gas Engine. I found out recently that the transmission fluid level was extremely high. I don't know if it could have been over-pressurized or if it is a failed o-ring. If it is failed o-ring, can this be...

I put a new (off of ebay) steering sector on my tractor because the old one was worn out and leaked. I am a little disappointed the steering isn't easier with the new unit. The new unit took out all the slop in the steering but still takes more effort than I think it should. In comparison a...

Hi all, I'm a first time tractor owner and I bought a 1963 Ford 2000 gas tractor for our new property. Before I hooked up any implements, it ran great. As soon as I hooked up the bush hog, it cut for about 25 yards, then sputtered and died. It won't do any better, so I started investigating...

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...

I am looking for a quick attach converter for an old Ford 2000 with a Ford series 703 front end loader. I do not weld and don't know anyone nearby to do it for me. Does anyone know of a QA plate that would 'drop in' to existing pin holes without requiring cutting/welding?

Please help! I have a 2000 Ford (4cyl diesel) tractor. Hydraulic lift had been working erratically for a while but then a couple of months ago it just quit lifting altogether and I am just now getting around to trying to figure out what to do with it. I have spent several days researching this...

:newhere: Bought a 1956 Ford 600 from my brother in law. Came with a mower deck. Unloaded it yesterday, started right up. Mowed for 10 minutes and it stalled. Could not restart. Turns over but won't fire. I've tried choking it (which it does not normally need). Brother has mowed 5 acre field...

I changed the engine oil on my Ford 2000 3 cyl diesel tractor and put the specified 8 quarts of oil in the engine. The dip stick showes it to be over filled after sitting idle for a day. Do I have the capacity correct?

HI guys I recently had a hydraulic leak on the piston pump. I fixed the leak and added hydraulic oil and primed the pump. Went to working just fine. Have used it off and on for the last 4 days without a problem, but today I was bush hogging and the lift arms just dropped. It would not do...

I was using a box blade when i hit a buried stump. I wasnt going fast but it still hit hard enough to stop the tractor. Anyway, from that point on the lift doesnt function right. It will lift all the way up and stay up with no problem, or it will go all the way down (more or less) with no...

Hey guys, So I finally got my old 1964 Ford 2000 up and running. Had a problem with it surging pretty bad once it was in gear and moving. I tried to adjust the carb but still had the same issue. So pulled the carb and gave it a really good cleaning thinking it might be a fuel issue. Same...

I bought a 1967 Ford 2000 the other day and the seller had a few of the sheet metal parts in a box. I put the steering column cover back on but I was left with this mystery piece. I've checked the on-line parts manual at Messicks, my operator's manual, the service manual, and looked at a bunch...

Hey guys, I've read a lot of different arguments for using several different spark plugs on a 1964 4 cylinder Ford 2000. I'm wondering what everyone here uses and why.

I thought this would be easy to find out but not so much. I bought a 1967 (I think) Ford 2000 the other day and am going over it. The front nose bracket that connects the cowl to the front of the engine block was not attached. I used a 3/8 inch new bolt and it would not grab, so I assumed the...

Hey guys, My parking brake pawls(#7) are both rusted in place, unlocked thankfully, and I am having a terrible time freeing them up so they'll pivot to lock into the sector plates(#10). I've tried removing the pins(#8) so I could try and pound them out, but those are stuck too. Anyone else have...

After attempting to jump start, there is no spark at distributor. It ran fine shortly before, but battery would not re-start it, After charging battery, there is now no spark. It seems like I messed up something when I tried to jump start. I don't have my manual and some other parts, diagnostic...

Hey guys, I have a 1964(correct me if I'm wrong on the year) Ford 2000 that I inherited. I've been cleaning it up and going through it to try to get it running again.

Hey guys, I recently inherited a Ford 2000 tractor that I'm going to get running to help me begin to homestead. I am having trouble identifying the tractor based off the serial numbers I'm seeing. I'm most interested in the year, and if it's gas or diesel. Any help you guys can give will be...

I have a early 60s ford 2000 with a 4 cylinder Diesel engine. It does burn a little oil when you first start it up. The issue is that after it runs 5 min or so it idles up and down from real high rpm to real low rpm. I have to constantly have adjust the throttle while I'm operating the tractor...

Hi All, I was under the impression when I just bought my 1964 Ford 2000 tractor that all I needed was a bill of sale from the previous owner, because tractor titles (at least for this year/model) were non-existent. My neighbor just told me that I don't really own the 1964 Ford 2000 tractor...

I want to go from a generator to an alternator on my 73 Ford 2000. The generator is making a horrible chirping noise when the tractor is running. Is this a big job to do? Or would it be a better idea to get the generator fixed? thanks in advance

I had such great help with my solenoid system, especially from souNdguy, I thought I would ask for more help with a hydraulic lift problem. The tractor is a 1963 Ford 2000. The lift was suppose to have been rebuilt several years ago but has never worked right since the repair job. The lift...

Just brought home what I was told by the seller was a 1975 2000 tractor, 2WD, 4 speed, 1 reverse, also included a bush hog. I downloaded a 900+ page pdf file which is apparently a scan of a service manual for 2000 - 5000 second model tractors. It includes a breakdown of the serial numbers for...

I went with my father in law today to look at a Ford 2000 that was for sale at a very low price. He had it delivered to his house an hour later. It has a bad seal leak dripping out of drain hole in the bottom of the bell housing that he should replace, the right brakes and meter does not work...

I have a 1967 Ford 2000 with the 8-speed transmission and it's time for a fluid change. From what I've gathered, I need to put UTF in the rearend because of the hydraulics. But the biggest question I have is can I use that stuff in the tranny as well? I've heard people just use that stuff in...

What do you use for nuts when installing new gauge cluster and gasket?

So, I finished tilling some summer plots and was about to load the tractor up for the day. I pulled the tractor up to the back of the trailer shifted into neutral to get off and move some stuff off the trailer. As I started to move whatever it was in the way, I noticed a different sound/tone...

Ok guys I'm new to this but need some help. My ford 2000 needs an engine rebuild. I see rebuild kits with sleeves and some without. I have guys telling me it has sleeves and some tell me that it doesn't. So do I buy a kit with sleeves or not? If it doesn't have sleeves what do I need to do to...

I recently purchased a 1974 Ford 2000 tractor that I am in the process of restoring. The tractor appears to have the original headlight fixtures, but the bulbs and headlight rings are missing. I purchased new 4419 sealed beams and a set of 1 inch rings from Steiner Tractor. However, the parts...

As stated above. Radiator and hoses are new (summer 2014). The coolant leak started slowly a few weeks ago, occurs at rest and has gotten more noticeable over time. Just a few drops a day. It appears to be coming from the water pump and (although I haven't yet removed the grille and radiator...

I've located a Ford 2000 3-cyl gas that has an 8-speed transmission (4 speed with hi-low ranges). I think I've read on this site that the 2000 also came in a 6-speed, and that version ran kind of too fast for some tasks, even in 1st gear. Will the 8-speed be slower in 1st? I currently have a...

Hello there! This is my first post. Just bought a 1963 Ford 2000 industrial with loader and 723 series backhoe. Having trouble with the hydraulics. I rebuilt the 4 loader cylinders to fix leaks but still has very shaky/delayed operation. Does anyone know how to test the hydraulic pressure...

I bought this tractor to put a small backhoe on because the JD did not have enough hp to drive the hydraulic pump from the pto I don't know if it was originally 6 volt. It has a 12 volt battery and alternator but all the lights and gauges are disconnected. The cable to the tach is disconnected...

Hello guys, I wasn't quite sure where to make my question, anyway... I bought a ford 3000 as I told but I am not sure if it's this model or the 2000 one. I am going to write the model's serial number in a row, I hope there arent numbers or letters missing, please help me if it's possible...

I think I may have gotten past the stalling, but I'm having trouble determining what happened. Symptoms/Chronology: 1. I had decided to go to a heavier oil 15w-40, verus 10w-30, in part due to a knocking sound that I was having a mechanically inclined acquantance evaluate. 2. Drained the old...

I recently bought this 69 ford 2000 3 cylinder gas tractor with an 8 speed transmission with live PTO. When I went to look at it, the PTO and clutch worked fine. When I got it home I couldn't get the PTO to engage unless I shut the tractor off and started it with PTO engaged. Then the clutch...

Hi All, Long time lurker who has finally taken the plunge and bought a 1970 Ford 2000. Diesel 4 speed, Highways version, with a Safety Cab and auto hitch. No idea on the hours, but it appears to have done 3000 miles in the last 44 years. Ex Royal Navy, first road registered in 2003, so I think...

New to the Forum; Any opinions about the Ford 2000, 1973? Do they have any sticky problems etc.?

I have a Ford 2000 2WD 3 cylinder diesel tractor and am not getting fuel to the injectors. I had pulled the steering box off of it to rebuild and it wound up sitting approximately a year before I got it back together again due to having another tractor to use. The tractor ran and started fine...

A friend has a '64 Ford 2000. His father bought it new, and always told him it was an 8-volt, positive ground. Everything I can find says they were 6-volt, positive ground. He has put an 8-volt battery in, and it seems to be running fine. His lights and guages don't work anyway, so that's not...

I recently purchased a used (obviously) 1974 ford 2000 which has a aftermarket fronted loader on it. My problem besides some control box leaks (not bad) is that when I raise the rear 3 pt the bucket will slowly raise all the way up while driving. Making it hard to have a shredder at mid position...

hi, I have a 1972 ford 2000 3 cyl. diesel with independent pto. I have removed release bearing hub support and front cover of trans. removed snap ring on input shaft but the shaft won't come out. The way my manual reads it should just pull out. What is my problem or any suggestions please thanks...

Hi folks How much play does the input shaft supposed to have. Mine wobbles quite a lot. Is this normal or do I need to change some bearing? Thanks Kenny

Hi guys, I have installed flywheel to crank 3 times and 4 bolts go right in but can not get the other 2 to start. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to tell how to line up bolts and holes?

I bought my first tractor 4 years ago, a 1973 Ford 2000 with loader. With light, occasional use, haven't had any problems until a few months ago, when brake pedals started getting stuck down, and have to pull them up by hand. Right side worse than left, but both affected. Finally started...

I need some troubleshooting advice. New clean fuel, carburetor leaks a bit, air intake hose just falls off the carb, spark plugs look okay, tach does not work. Problem: tractor starts ok but loses power after a few minutes and eventually sputters out when in gear. She will come back to life...

Hey all, I just bought a Ford 62 2000 gas that is mechanically good to go with the exception of one thing. While driving it around, especially at low RPM, the engine RPM surges up and down slowly. The proof meter doesn't work (just ordered a new one) so I'm not sure of the RPM swing. Does this...

Recently acquired a 1972 2000 Ford 3cyl diesel tractor for occasional use. Getting ready to service the machine and oil low on check. Needs to be added but there is no obvious place on either side of engine. Only likely place is on left side of block below the oil filter but looks like a cap...

Need some advice. I have 74 Ford 2000 3-cylinder diesel that has no hydraulics. Since it was old, I decided to rebuild the pump and replace all orings and seals on the lift piston (under the lift cover). I primed the system and still have no hydraulics. I hooked a pressure gauge to the plug...

I own a 3 cyl Ford 2000 and recently had the hydraulic pump replaced, including new hydraulic fluid. But now the lift is worse than before; it chatters and shakes, taking up to 10-15 seconds to raise. Where would you look for the problem? I was told there may be a leak in a secondary reservoir...

How do you change from a 6 volt to a 12 volt charging system?

Just purchased a older used Ford 2000 Gasoline tractor not sure onthe year but would say its in the 60's since it has a generator on it rather than alternator .. My question I want to check the Hydraulic fluid level out and not sure where to check, which plug and what are they using for...

As a bonus at work I was told to go buy myself a new tractor. I said OK... But as an engineer I am spending way too much time analyzing the options. Here is roughly what I do with a tractor: Running bushhog on a very rough 10ac a couple times a year (most the rest is woods or planted by a...

Anticipating tearing into the rear axle due to some hydraulic problems. Looking at eBay for manuals... are the IT manuals good or do I need an actual Ford manual? Any other better sources?

Does anyone know the symptoms of a failed hydrolic...

Hooked my old Ford 903 post hole digger up to my Ford 2000 diesel the other day and thought it was going to end up knocking limbs off a nearby tree or digging a hole to China. I had hardly any control over the up and down movement of it. I tried attaching a disc harrow to it and it too was slow...

Just picked up a 1972 Ford 2000 with a 3 cyl diesel engine. The previous owner said the fan hit the radiator, he put in a new radiator, but put a electric fan on it instead of a regular fan. I would like to put an original fan back on it. On Ebay, I have found a 2, 3, and a 4 bladed fan for it...
