FORD 3600? 1979?

Those series of Fords are just about the best looking tractors ever made with new paint and decals, in my opinion. This coming from a person who owns 7 brands of tractors, none of them a Ford. Always wanted one though. Maybe some day.

I guess I'll know right away if have an axle leak. Braking makes no sound at all. Im not going to have time this week so I'll repost what I find when I get there. Shoes look like 28 bucks apiece. I don't mind coughing that up but I have little experience and axle trouble seems hefty.

check for adjsutment first. if you cna't adjust them satisfactorilly. then pull the tires and see what ya got.

Good call. Ill adjust to find out if that was all,
Yesterday I was running for about twenty minutes and she died out. Seemed like fuel got cut off. Gonna replace the fuel filter, hope that does it. Noticed there is no oil gauge, no temp gauge, and possibly no coolant circulating, hoping for the best, is there an easy way to make sure?
I'm thinking I should install a temp gauge before I proceed.

Any suggestions...? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

the cluster has a temp gauge and an oil pressure idiot lamp.

are yours not working? or is your cluster gone?

 

[Forder]

Ah geez im so dumb. YES they are there, and not working, My choice of words are absurd. I found some chaffed wires and taped them all. Still no go. Ugh I dread electrical work.

A fresh bright industrial yellow paint job is nice on a tractor. But the engine needs to be painted as well.
