ford 6000

Had a constant problem with this 6 cylinder diesel beast constantly cutting out with air in the injector pump. Didn't matter how many times it was bled, it would not run for more than a few minutes. The biggest worry was what seemed to be diesel fuel running out the injector pump. Shock -...

G'Day all. There is a bad leak from the 3 pt linkage hydraulic lift and although the exploded view in the IT shop manual is very good, it does not identify which items might be causing the leak that seems to be coming from the items marked 14 to 22 in the drawing. The manual states that the...

Have eliminated several problems with the fuel gauge system - the voltage regulator has been repaired and the gauges checked BUT the fuel sender unit is beyond repair- the coil has gone and the instrument guys can't get it apart without destroying it. Please can anyone advise if a Ford 4000 OR...

OK. I give up and need help. This all began when I decided to fix the non-working fuel /temp gauges and ammeter warning light. so I pulled off the covers and found the mess of wiring "repaired" by the last owner. Many wires were bare, some simply disconnected and it is a wonder the machine...

The IT shop manual has detailed drawings of the water pump, but no part numbers. If anyone has the details, please supply the part number for the seal (item 12 in the shop manual). It is possible this item is common to other Ford models and any information on this would help All advice...

Does anyone know the best point to bleed the hydraulic system on a Ford 6000 please? I recently had to disconnect the hydraulic lines to repair the ram on the front blade and though the reservoir has been topped up, there must be air in the system because the 3-point lift is playing up...

Hi, came across TractorByNet and was hoping somebody had some positive feedback on a ford 6000, not sure if its a commander or just a 6000. I really enjoy older tractors and was wondering if it would be worth fixing up a bit and using or is it not a useful tractor to have around ? Thanks for...

Hi all, I have the IT workshop manual for the Ford 6000 but is does not list any lubrication or similar specifications. An Internet search also has failed to find these. The fill locations, lube types and quantities would certainly be listed in the user's manual so if anyone could please scan...

I'm looking for a an older tractor to run a larger bush hog, some misc work. Thought 50-70 HP would do it. Found a decent Ford 6000 diesel ~ 1959 I think. A solid older tractor (condition) and proced reasonably. Anyone know about these? I see some 5000s but few 6000s for sale. Additional...

I am wanting to buy an old ford 6000. The seller thinks it has 73 HP. The clutch is out on it but he says everything else is OK. First to get it home can I tow it behind my truck with just a tow strap? Its only six miles or so. will it hurt the transmission on the tractor. I guess replacing...
