My 2120 is a 1996 model. Suddenly it will stop moving. Motor continues to run. if I change the 10 amp fuse in the three fuse block on the left side of the firewall the tractor will start and move again. Seems like this occurs when the tractor has been working a while and is hot. I drained about...

In trying to remove the front cover to check out what I think is a leak in the power steering control valve, I'm stymied by this switch. In all the years I've owned this tractor I've never used it and I can't find any mention of it in the manual that came with the tractor or even the full...

I picked up an SIMS cab for my 2120, does anyone have any pictures of the cab to tractor mounts? The cab didn't come with any mounts. It looks like the front mounts may attach to the tractor's sheet metal and the rear mounts to the fenders. This is a old cab that has soft sides. Thanks

Does anyone know if the braided rubber hoses on the New Holland 2120 (late model Ford 2120) are Metric or English? It looks like the same braided rubber hose is used for fuel, radiator drain, and power steering. This tractor is now 20 years old and I want to replace all of them but don't want...

Sorry to come on as a new member and my first post is asking for help. Have a 97 2120 that the brakes have left town on. How hard a job is it? Are any of the after market disc's worth using? I will probably drain all fluid and replace filters since I'm sure there are pad parts floating in...

Looks like my tie rod ends are officially whooped. My tractor is a late 80's model. Not precisely sure. The part numbers I am coming with are SBA334800631(LH) & 641(RH). Just want to be sure the part numbers are good for 2120 Ford/NH tractors throughout the production. In the past when I...

Hello fellow tractor owners, I need help locating an attaching kit for a 758B backhoe to a Ford 2120 tractor with a 7109 front loader. I have the 758B backhoe with the subframe but can't attached it without the hanging flanges that attach the subframe to the tractor frame. Also need the remote...

This post is actually about my neighbor's Ford 2120. He was out pushing a pile of brush and lost all control of steering. I went over and looked under the tractor and the steering cylinder was disconnected from the chassis. All the lines are still intact but the bracket that connects the...

My rear PTO, (only PTO) will not disengage. I pull the lever back, it doesn't go all the way back and sounds funny. I have tried leaving the clutch in for maybe 20 seconds. I have tried going forward and backwards. I don't have any attachments that use PTO yet. My guess is it got bumped, by...

I have a Ford 2120. It came with a Ford 758 backhoe that is totally shot, too expensive to repair. I'm having a hard time finding other backhoe attachments that will fit and run on my tractor. Any help you can offer is appreciated

trying to determine if indeed my clutch disc is the problem. changed hydraulic filter and fluid. clutch slips in forward gears (engine revs, but no power). reverse seems unaffected which is why i question the diagnosis? I have a ford 2120 hss mode command.

I have a Ford 2120 with 18.4 x 16.1 R3 turf tires that are well worn and one is leaking. From the research I have done it seems it will cost a fortune and be very difficult to find the proper size rims to change this to the factory size R1. Searching around on the internet I have found...

May be looking into purchasing a 2120. I have limited information at the moment. The machine is at my in-laws. I used it once a few years ago and seemed to run good. The tractor is a couple hundred miles from me, so it will be a while before I can look at it. What I know is it was originally a...

My neighbor has a 2120 4wd and was moving logs with his front mounted pallet forks when the right front wheel fell off. Not sure what failed first, bearing pieces were found on the ground. I'm impressed that there wasn't more extensive damage as there was a huge load on it at the time. Parts...

I have a Ford 2120 with a shuttle shift. Anyway I have the tractor apart and noticed the shift fork is a little worn. I was told that the fork wear migh be filled with brazing or welding. I can weld cast steel but I would not feel comfortable welding on cast iron. New forks are not available...

Hi, I have a 1995 Ford 2120 with electronic shuttle shift transmission and 4 wheel drive. The tractor was serviced this summer because the PTO was locked up and damaged the PTO clutch and other parts. The tractor ran fine for 3 months. Recently the transmission would stay in forward when...

Hi, this is my first post here so I apologize if my inexperience shows. I have my Dad's 1992 Ford 2120 which I've taken pride in always starting. However since an abortive start attempt on a 0 degree morning which very quickly killed the battery (I know I should have had it plugged in but it was...

I found a Ford 2120 with a FEL for sale. Tractor is low hour and in good shape but does not have HSS. How big of a deal is that? I probably won't be loading materials with it much but I can see myself using the FEL for grading leveling and perhaps moving snow sometimes. The tractor is priced...

Hi, I have a 2120 4cyl and while pushing some snow I noticed an idiot light or dash light on. The light is a circle with a line threw it. The circle is a normal circle but the line is sort of wavy going through the circle left to right. Any ideas what this means. I have a manual on order now but...

I bought this Ford 3rd hand and do not have manual for it. I blew a hydraulic line moving the snow around here in NJ and replaced. Now I want to fill up any that I lost. Problem is, I do not know where to add the oil? It is a 1988 2120. Thank you.

This tractor has a significant hesitation when changing direction. It doesn't matter which range you are in. Since I have changed hydrolic oil and filter it is very slow to move and will only operate in low or medium range and only in first or second gear, loader drifts down after raising and...

I just put a Herd 3 point sander on the reader for my Ford New Holland 2120 (model year 2000). My paved driveway is *very* steep and winding, with the home (log cabin) at the high end. I plowed the nominal snow off with my truck, which went down and up without issue. I want to sand to provide...

I need to remove the frame mounted backhoe from my Ford 2120 to transport it (on a smaller trailer). I haven't picked up any service manuals.

I just bought a 2000 Ford 2120 with backhoe. When I used it Saturday some welds broke on the mounts. These appear to be the only connecting parts between the tractor and backhoe. Is there something missing, or if not, is this a common failure, and what is the suggested repair?

I have a 1994 2120 with EHSS 12x12 transmission that uses the one way bearing (sprag clutch) to drive the PTO. I am pretty sure my pto is loosing power and stopping due to this. I bought the Ford/New Holland major shop manual not the I-T manual and it appears I have to split the tractor between...

I have read many of the posts about chains on the front of 4wd tractors and it has me a little concerned about doing that, I understand it is probably no big deal if you are careful about how you use the tractor. How ever is it a better use of my money if I buy the correct size ag tire (to match...

I bought a 2120 and it has the turf tires and it is not easy to find used rims and ag tires so thinking about going to chains and a 7 foot snow bucket that weighs about 700 lbs. Is this too much for this to handle, I have a M with a too big a loader and a 7 ft bucket and it handles that no problem.

Talked to a guy about a 1988 2120 4wd with FEL and a ballast boc with 2200 hours for about 12,000, is this a good buy it seems like the ford is much heavier than the other models in that HP range.
