new ford 3000 owner

[ama190]

hi. just purchased a ford 3000. seemed to work fine at first but found that pto clutch won't disengage. It started life as a selecto speed but now has an 8 speed. Getting ready to split it. Was told it only had 1600 hours but now not so sure. It does start and run fine and all the gears work. I like the tractor alot. Just anxious to get it cleaned up and fully functional. has multiple serial numbers but both reference a 1973. All the clutch adjustment bolts are broken off and laying in the bottom of bell housing

If you do the clutch, do the tob, pilot bearing, and input shaft seals

thanks thats good advice. split went okay. kind of tough to get separated. Had to use a come along to break it loose. Any ideas on how the clutch could fail that way? The arms broke on all three adjustments for pto clutch. Could the pto clutch stick from lack of use and then break the arms when the clutch pedal is pushed down? Also wondering why service manual says to drain coolant for a split? Freeze plugs maybe?

Im not sure how to replace the input seal. Do i need to pull the shaft out? My rear pto seal is leaking too

for a 3000? not sure. later models had trans coolers.

ps.. pto seal is easy once rear sump is drained.

thats good news. i drained transmission and removed clutch bearing support so I could get at small input seal. not too bad to get to. Made mistake of not paying attention to orientation though. there is a small hole on the flange of the clutch bearing support. assuming it should be at 12:00? rear main looked okay, frost plug okay. Overwhelmed with where to buy a clutch or any other parts.Many options out there. I wish I could just replace the arms as rest of clutch looks pretty good. thanks for your replies

clutch bearing support? ( input shaft? )

Do you have a fo-31 manual, if so hit the clutch section and see if you can ID your part.. .. I'll see if I can post a diagram for you.

if you havn't tried, ytmag.com sells parts

thanks. the part with the hole in the flange is item 11 in the gear drawing. not sure how to position the hole. item 16 is what is broken on the clutch. All six link arms are broken. Hoping I could just replace the link arms but I think you have to have a special fixture to remove the tension. appreciate all your help so far.

That hole in the input shaft housing should be at the bottom. It is a weep hole. If the seal leaks any oil, it will drain out that hole into the bell housing instead of following the t/o bearing support tube to the clutch and soaking it.

thank you for confirming that. I also noticed no gasket behind that same part. I was thinking I should replace it.

looking also for items 16, 25 and 24 from the double clutch. not having much luck.

correction: item 24 on double clutch is what's broken. thinking i'll have to get it made. Otherwise have to spend the money on reman clutch. Problem being the ones i can find call for a 1.75" flywheel step spec. My current flywheel is 1.71 so I would have to spend more money on machine work then too

If you have a rebuilder in your area, you might check with them. They might have the parts or be able to order them.
