To get faster feedback on your Ford, start a new thread here:

New Holland Owning/Operating

Year, Model - Need Advice : then list your problems as you did in the last post.

You'll need to go through/change all the fluids, but the first thing to do is check the level of the Hydraulic fluid that runs your 3 point hitch that your bushog is attached to. Sorry, I don't know exactly where the Hydraulic Fill/Check point is on your model.

That Ford/NH forum is the best place to get advice, including where to buy carb kits, gaskets....

Rgds, and best wishes for speedy repair, D.

Take it back or better yet - tell them to come and get it.

How many levers are there by the 3 point lift lever? IF there are two, make sure BOTH are "up" else it wont raise... If you can post a picture of that we can probbaly help more.

If everything worked at the dealer's lot and now nothing works, it is probably operator error. However, I would take it back just because of the head gasket.

I'm confused about what tractor model you have. Your profile says a Ford 2000, but the title of the thread says N9 (which I assume should be 9N). According to tractordata.com, the 2000 went out of production in 1975.

I agree with Beltman60 that you could probably do better for the money.

i would like to ask another question,we have it running at least now. But,there is what looks to be gray muddy water coming from the blowby pipe.Could this be a blown head gasket?

 

[mikehaugen]

Take that thing back!

I hate to say it, but you overpaid... at least for around here. You could get one in better shape for significantly less money.

Sorry...

Well you are correct I would say,I beleive this tractor is many different tractors put together.It says on our reciept it is a gas Ford 2000,but it has no year. We were mislead completly I belve

 

[dayton595911]

That is what we will do I think,my husband says the motor sounds good,but I want to take it back. Thanks,I will get some pictures nest time,I found out its a 1975 like the other guy on here said. thanks.

Welcome here. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Buying a new tractor should be a good experience and it sounds like yours is everything but that. I would have to agree with the advice of taking it back. The sooner the better and I would check to see if the bank has cleared the check yet and tell them to hold it until you settle on the matter.
Good luck.

post a picture.

if it is a 3 cyl gasser 2000 1975, it might not be overpriced for 3800$ with a mower. IF it is working.

a coolant leak.. where at exactly?

if there is water in the oil.. I'd take it back..
