ford 5000

Look at the white circle I marked on head and block. I can't find any gasket anywhere that doesn't restrict those 4 oil/water flow holes. Is this normal that those 4 holes are block by the gasket?

I just replaced the neutral safety switch. Hardest part of the job was getting the cover back on and everything aligned properly and keeping the darn gasket in place (and clean). I have the bolts snugged down and verified that the new switch works. The old one was intermittent, so hopefully...

My 1975 5000 has a model number 'E'-5000 '10'-agricultural '1'-diesel '4'-independent 540 PTO 'M'-transmission type. The information I have does not show an identification for "M". My guess is that it might refer to "dual power". But I would like to know for sure.

Loader and linkage work fine when cold however after using PTO for 20 mins hydraulics stop working, any help would be much appreciated

Hello everyone I'm sort of a tractor newbie. I purchased a Ford 5000 about 3 years ago. I love the tractor but if I knew now I would have searched for a cab tractor. I have been searching with no luck for a cab either oem or aftermarket for this tractor. I'm looking to the knowledge here for any...

My throttle is not staying put. It sure seems as if it is snug/tight, but it slowly revs down, and won't stay where I put it. I actually have a NOS fiber friction washer that my father in law gave me when he gave us the tractor. Is there any more to installing this other than removing the...

I am looking for a wiring diagram for a 1968 Ford 5000. Or wanting to know, there is a black wire coming from key switch to either the solenoid or the starter. I am not sure where it goes.

My Ford 5000 3 point hitch is stuck in the up position. Had been in shed for several months before I started it. Seems to be solid. No movement at all.

I have a Ford 5000 that won't shift into neutral. I took the shift plate off and can't align the shift forks. It is stalling the engine when in gear and I can't seem to find anywhere it is binding. It seems to be stuck in two gears. I am going to drain the fluid to see if perhaps there is a...

My son has a Ford 5000 that he got when he purchased his house and land. We completely flushed the cooling system, put a new fan belt on, and did a few other minor repairs. The tractor runs fine and will do well using implements that do not require the PTO. But when he tries to use the finish...

Hi all, I've got a '70 ford 5000 diesel that just started blowing oil from the filter canister on initial start up. Happened yesterday and today, changed oil and filter, made sure all seals are good. Does not appear to be leaking during operation, just first startup of the day. Any ideas? Thanks

What is it worth a Ford 5000 diesel tractor thank you

So long story short, after hydro fluid gets hot running my 6-disk new Holland mower, the pto has a real hard time starting back up after I shut it off. Sometimes I have to give a little help by twisting the driveline. Yep, a real pain when you're trying to get hay cut. So I pressure tested the...

Hello TBN, I'm looking for future replacements for the 5000 I recently bought. Current tires are Goodyear dyna torque 2's. Short lug on them is basically gone, long lug looks fine. How does that work? I'll probably keep them through this hating season as long as they don't fail. I've been...

Hello all, I bought a 1971 Ford 5000 with a Bush Hog 2400QT front end loader a few months ago. When I got the tractor, the top seal was leaking in the steering column. I bought a seal kit and resealed the entire assembly. I have also resealed the power steering pump. The problem I have is...

Hello TBN, As per title, when I engage the PTO of my 5000 (low idle ~1000-1200, nothing attached) I can hear a repetitive pinging coming from the rear axle housing. It sounds as if it's being tapped with a hammer. Same set of pings repeating a few seconds apart. Increasing engine speed seems to...

Hello TBN, The 3 pt on my Ford 5000 maxes out at around 30" in height measured at the center of the rear link ball from the floor. Lowest measurement is around 6.5" when the lever is lowered to the stop. It seems like it should have a fair bit more travel upwards to me.

Hi, First time user here. I picked up an old 5000 with loader for our property, and just added a box blade to it. The thing lifts the box just fine, but it will not hold it in position. I think I have figured out the knobs and levers to set it in "position" vs "draft". I have knobs on the...

I'm wondering if this mid range PTO driven wood chipper will fit an older Ford 5000? I imagine it needs an extended PTO shaft because most of the newer tractors have a much shorter 3 point distance.

My ford 5000 lift arms are leaking down and jumping back up when I'm using any kind of attachment I have. It tends to "bounce" when I have the arms raised to full height and it leaks down and surges back up, faster at higher rpm, when I'm using my grader blade or bush hog. When I bought the...

My tractor is a 1972 ford 5000 and has factory power assist with a engine mounted pump and last year about this time I put all new o-rings in the sector and valve body. My question is when I let go of the wheel it feels like the power steering is trying to return to center but center is...

Hi, I have been trying to repair my dad's 1973 Ford 5000 diesel. The tractor quit in the field while bush hogging, it apparently had trash in the fuel tank. We cleaned the tank, added clean fuel, and replaced the fuel filter. We bled the pump and the tractor cranked and ran for about 1 hour...

Hello all, New here. My tractor sat out un-used for 4 years. Water in transmission. I drained the oil, added new oil. Drained it, flushed it. Added oil again (123D). Hydraulics not good. Lift on FEL is very slow. tilt not working. 3 pt hitch slow. I suspect the hydraulic filters, don't know...

Hi all, I was wanting some advise, My 6600 has alot of play in the steering arm under the radiator, all the balljoints are new elsewhere and play eliminated everywhere but that arm in the front cast support. Its not really side to side play, but up and down, which transforms into a huge amount...

Wondering if anyone has the type/model of alternator that can be installed on my Ford 2000 or 3000 diesel. I'm tired of jumping it off everytime. It is a diesel, therefore not sure of the RPM's needed to charge battery. I'm sure some of yaw have done this job and could get me going in the right...

My Ford 5000 Diesel has a bad battery. When I try to a charge the battery, the tractor tries to start on its own as soon as the battery has enough charge. This happens even with the key in the off position. Is this a switch problem or might it be something else? I need help!

Working on a Ford 5000 project. Unable to get the hydraulics on the lift arms of the 3 poinh hitch working. I have replaced the piston seals the seals on the lift cover and he seals on the external hydrolics. The pump and the external hydrolics are working fine. I can lift the 3 point hitch by...

I installed a glow plug intake heater on our 5000 and instead of using a reservoir box to hold the fuel, I put a T in the return line near the top of the tank and ran a line to the heater. I bought a new 5-wire switch to put on it, but decided against it because when you go to crank the engine...

I burst a hydraulic hose that goes to my front loader on my 1966 Ford 5000, on the bucket, now neither the up and down controls nor the bucket will not work. Physically replacing the hose seems as if it will be easy. I assume that once this is done the hydraulic system will need to be bled, no...

Hi, I bought a late 1960s Ford 5000 row crop tractor last spring in decent condition. I used it all last year and this spring. Suddenly it started to drip antifreeze out from the area of the bell housing. I thought maybe a frost plug. They look good. The head gasket also looks good. The tractor...

Hello, When I disengage my pto lever the pto still turns. I am assuming the brake band is wore out but not for sure. Does anyone know if the screw on the left hand side of the tractor with a nut is how you apply tension to the brake band on a Ford 5000 diesel tractor? Also, how do you...

Greetings! Just traded my old MF 65 for a Ford 5000 with a 10 speed Select-O-Speed transmission. Only known problem to date is a reluctance, in reverse, especially cold, to smoothly engage travel with the inching lever. Otherwise, seems to run well. Does this sound like band adjustment or...

I am going on Sat to look at a few tractors. The one I am most interested in is a Ford 5000 with FEL. From the photos the tractor has been recently painted and looks to be in good shape. Anything specific I should look for other then starting it when cold and hot, running the hydralics through...

I've got a Ford 5000 diesel that runs great when it starts. The latest catastrope has been trash in the fuel tank which I thought I had fixed by draining the fuel tank and replacing the fuel filter and one line. Apearently it still chokes out and I have to go through a procedure of bleeding the...

My 1974 Ford 5000 (English Version) has stopped charging. It is probably the generator brushes or VR I am guessing. I am considering changing to a 3-Wire alternator with the internal regulator (one guy I work with swears this is the only way to go). My biggest problem is how do I get a good...

Have a Ford 5000 and need to find out what the proper transmission oil level is. It is an "English" model. The generic tractor manual says the oil plug next to the shifting levers should have a dipstick on it. Mine dosen't. The local dealer told me to look for a plug on the side of the...
