    Ford 4000 1976 ; I noticed a pretty good trail of what sure seems like hydraulic fluid, if not that oil of some kind running down both sides under the hydraulic pump. Figured my fitting was toast again, but when I looked at the trail it goes all the way to the top of the MANUAL steering column...

    Ford 340 steering

    A buddy is looking buying this tractor and the left side steering shaft from the main assembly to the tie rod piece sheered off. Can‘t seem to find those parts, which looks like would be a spline end rod maybe or a rod and a spline/bushing. Any thoughts on what parts and how one would go...

    Z122R drive belt fell off

    I have a z122r and while mowing yesterday it just stopped right after a 180 turn. The left and right handles now feel much tighter vs smooth/ease and I can see the belt has come off. I can manually put it back on the left pulley under the seat and the rear one under the engine, but no way to...

    Ford 4000 small tube from under distributor to above carb

    I slid the battery tray out and this small metal tube must have gotten hit and broke off at the fitting. Thought maybe I could just pull the broken piece from inside and push the tube back in and it would compression fit. Couldn稚 get the part of tube that broke off inside the nut fitting out...

    Ford 4000 front rim size

    The valve stem had a hole in it so I pulled the tire and and tube, it looks like the hole the valve stem comes out of in the rim was cut out decades ago. I have had it over 10 years. It looks like maybe the tube stem is rubbing on the rough cut hole. Inside the rim also had duct tape wrapped...

    I had a thread the last few weeks about an ignition issue that ended up being grounded points. Got that fixed, thanks again for the help. As part of working through the other issue, I changed the coil, rotor, plugs, points and condenser. I ran it for the first time today with a load (bush...

    I've replaced the gas cap a few times over the years because they eventually won't stay tight, begin to jiggle allowing fuel to splash out on bumps etc...

    My 76 4000 (rebuilt 2010) is eating batteries. I can jump it and use it, but after it turns off not enough juice to crank again. Alternator is reading 12.8 volts, at the battery when running 12.7. Had the tractor 12yrs and it's never been replaced. Seem so like the alternator is not...

    Ford 400 operating temp ?

    My 1976 Ford 4000 runs just under 190deg most of the time after running a while. Under heavy grass bush hog stress I noticed it got up to 205-210deg today. What is the max temp under heavy load before it becomes a high risk ? My gauge doesn't have a red zone etc..

    I have a 76 Ford 4000. It was leaking (drips now and then) a little from the pump and while using it yesterday all of sudden fluid started spewing out under high pressure on the right side of the tractor. I thought it was fuel for a split second and turned it off quick and got out of dodge. I...

    Sealing threads on fuel line connections

    I put on a new carb and used the fuel line that came with it. Also put on a new inline filter, but the new carb came with a connection adapter that has a little screen built in it. I'd rather use the new hook up than the old one I think. However the new one has male threads that go into the...

    Ford 3000 New Carb, seems Governor isn't kicking in

    I just put a new zenith carb (was the original holly) on my ford 3000. Fired up and runs fine other than when I was discing last weekend when it was put under load, the governor didn't kick it and add more power like it used to. It just sort of bogs down. I had to lengthen the throttle to...

    I have 1975 Ford 4000 tractor. Haven't used it since November when I planted the fall plots. Went to crank it last week and all it would do is turn over, no firing. I drained the carb and put new fuel in, same results. I started with the carb, got a rebuild kit and rebuilt it. No change, same...
