    Are Farmtracs hard to service and repair?

    Mine is a Farmtrac 60 ford clone. I have replaced the starter, a radiator hose and freed up a stuck injection pump. The starter was a direct replacement bought on ebay, shortened a new radiator hose to fit and got info on here to free up the stuck injector pump.

    Farmtrac 60 fuel preheater part #

    So, it wasn't the preheater at all. What was wrong was a bad starter and bad battery cables. I purchased a new starter and fabricated new cables. Works fine now. Starts first time every time.

    Great news. Also with the pumpguysc help I got mine working again a couple of years and about 500 hours ago. Still running and approaching the 1000 hour mark.

    No longer available Farmtrac 60 Cross Reference Page

    I don't know. I see them every once in a while on Amazon/Ebay. I recommend taking some measurements and then comparing with Ford radiators. I had my upper hose fail. I removed it and took it to the auto parts place. Found a hose same diameter with similar bend and cut it down to fit. No...

    Farmtrac 60 fuel preheater part #

    I don't believe my fuel preheater is working. I have about 850 hours on my tractor. I don't feel any warmth at the manifold preheater. I could not find a part number for the preheater. Troubleshooting recommendations are appreciated. The tractor is primarily used to skid logs to my sawmill.

    FT 60 stopped running. Need help troubleshooting

    Obviously I haven't checked the oil...I've never checked the oil in the FIPs of any of my other diesels. Silly me. This is my current plan: I'm thinking of filling the FIP all the way to the top with ATF as a penetrating oil. Leave it for a day or so drain, refill with non detergent oil...

    FT 60 stopped running. Need help troubleshooting

    Linkage on FT60 felt like they were binding. Tractor would start, idle high then shut off. I lubricated them with WD40. Problem seemed better. Tractor would start up idle and operate normally. Got stuck. Was working through reverse fwd gears and rear lock to try to unstick. Increased...

The foldout wiring diagram is 4 pages long so if you print you will have to tape together. Apologies for not having this done a long time ago but...stuff happens. Jim

    Where in the world are Farmtrac 60's?

    Above is data I've collected on my website. So far it looks like Farmtrac 60's are concentrated on the east coast of the US. It is interesting to see where this escorts model or maybe even old Ford 3620's are located throughout the world.
