    Ford 4100 lever valve addition

    Hi all (1st post) Wondered if anyone could advise. I’m in the process of adding a single (DA) lever valve to my 1977 Ford 4100 via the hv5902 adapter plate. My dealer recommended this Galtech Q25 valve and carry over plug. Question is how to plumb it. All valve ports are 3/8” except T1 which is...

    Stripped transmission drain plug - Ford 4100

    I bought an 80's Ford 4100 diesel a couple of years ago and I need to change the transmission fluid. However the plug is stripped, so I can't get it out. It's the type with an inverted 1/2 inch square which was almost completely rounded. I couldn't get any bite with my 1/2 breaker bar so I...

    Ford 4100 hitch cannot be held in position (always raises)

    Hello, I'm at the point of buying a Ford 4100 (similar to 3000 & 4000 series), but there is one thing which refrains me: the three point hitch doesn't stop. Allow me to explain: If I lower it to the lowest position and let go of the lever, it immediately starts raising again. Even if I do it...

    What size slasher for Ford 4100?

    I'm in the market for a slasher and a little-used 6' unit has come up for sale nearby. I'm wondering if this would be too big to comfortably run with my Ford 4100, tractor is rated at 52hp.

    Ford 4100 tool purchase advice.

    Which sockets or wrenches to buy? Might seem like a strange question but I recently purchased a 1981 Ford 4100 and don't have sockets that seem to fit. I was recently trying to take the cap off the rear axle to add hydraulic fluid but didn't have the right size. I have a number of socket and...

    Looking for wiring diagram for a 81' Ford 4100 Diesel

    As the title says I'm looking for a wiring diagram for the 4100 Ford diesel. I have the I&T manual which has a diagram for the gas but doesn't have the additional details for the diesel. Previous owner did some rewiring and replaced ignition switch with gas version that doesn't have heat...

    New member (and new to me Ford 4100) with some questions.

    I just bought a 1981 Ford 4100. I consider myself fairly mechanically handy, but this is my first tractor and have lots of questions. Also I've only had gas autos and equipment and the tractor is a diesel. Overall I feel that the tractor is in decent shape although it has a lot of hours...

    What valve for Ford 4100 loader?

    As I continue the restoration of my Ford 4100 (see this thread ) I'm starting to look at the loader; the 2-spool valve is shot and I want to add a third function to the loader so I can run a grapple (future build project). I haven't been able to find a hydraulic flow figure for the tractor but...

    Ford 4100 diverter valve- is one type better than another?

    I'm still wading my way through the refurbishment of my old Ford 4100, all of the hydraulic system inside the casing and the top cover are reassembled. I've come to stripping down the diverter valve to clean it out and renew O-rings etc and found that the housing is cracked at the lugs where it...

    General freshen up of 1967 Ford 4100

    We've had this tractor for about 8 or 10 years, it's been very useful for general work around the property like carting firewood, moving dirt and mulch etc but it was in a pretty poor state when we bought it and it has only got worse. The clutch was slipping badly, there was oil leaking out of...

    Ford 4100 Proofmeter Cable Drive

    I went to replace my proofmeter cable but am puzzled by what I found. I pulled out the old broken cable end and it had the part in the photo below attached to it. One end has a square hole and had a short piece sticking out, the other round with the broken cable end in it. I can't figure out...

    Ford 4100 charging system

    A friend called me today about his 1977 Ford 4100. The alt. warning light had been on, so he replaced the alternator. No change. I'm going to try to help him figure out the problem. Does any know about this system? Internal or external regulator? I haven't looked at it yet so you know what I...

    Ford 4100 4 x 4

    Anyone know anything about the front hubs on the Ford 4100. Mine seems to have loose bearings, but on studying the service manual, it looks as if the bearings are straight ball bearings, not tapered, and therefore not adjustable. It looks as if I need new bearings (and therefore seals). Have...

    Oil leak 1981 Ford 4100

    I just found a new oil leak, pretty significant one at that. Wierd, it looks like it is coming from the top (left side) towrds the front from the HEAD GASKET. Leak is between the block and head (definately not the valve cover). No oil in water or vice-versa (yet). Could this be something else...
