Hello everyone: I am a new member to this Forum. I recently purchased an old Ford 3000 diesel. Not sure of the year. I haven't quite deciphered the numbers on the engine block yet. She ran great all the way home which was about a 30 mile trip. Graded my driveway a few times with it then the clutch froze. Looks like I am going to have to split her. I tried all the tricks including soaking the clutch with brake fluid, but she still won't release. The biggest problem I have right now is dismantling the FEL. It is an old Freeman loader that attaches to the front of the engine block and the rear axle. I thought I could just release these bolts and back her out from the loader, but I quickly realized that the big vertical support arms would be in the way of the front wheels. Has anyone removed one of these loaders before? Am I going to have to dismantle the entire thing piece by piece or is there an easy way.
Thanks. Shepp
