ford 2600

Looking to change all the fluids in Ford 2600. I can not seem to find where all the drain plugs are. I have a IT Ford Shop manual but cant find where they explain where to change it. Im sure its something simple. Any help would be great.

Trying to change my alternator out of my tractor to a one wire or with internal regulator. I am having a hard time finding one any help would be great. Help finding or help changing it out. I am new to all this

My Ford 2600 is leaking around the fuel injector pump. Is there a way to reseal it or do you have to have it rebuilt. I have never opened the pump.

Anybody know where I can get a wire harness for my ford 2600 tractor

I got a 2600 Ford tractor and the fuel lines are ate up. I am looking for an exploded view of the 2600 ford diesel's fuel system.

While bush-hogging all of a sudden the engine shut down. Plenty of gas, good voltage, all dash lights work, but when trying to crank engine over, nothing. Not a click. Let it sit overnight, then it started right up and ran great for the next 10 hours. Now it will not start again after sitting...

Ford 2600 CAV injection pump no injector port flow/pressure. Tore it down. Had a spline coupler bolt come loose and bang it up a bit internally, but appears serviceable. Question: What is the smaller pin? It is next to a 3/8 combination wrench?

I don't what it is about me but I seem to have a weakness for poor neglected little tractors. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would take care of his little 2600 for a while. I know his for a while, something shows up at my place and somehow never leaves. We somehow managed to...

I have a gas ford 2600 that has been idle for a few years and is showing a lot of fluid of some kind leaking

Anyone have recommendations for a brand and model of front end loader for a 1978 Ford 2600? From all the research ive done, the recommended models are Ford 772A or 727. Found a 727 for reasonable on tractorhouse. But its up past Detroit Michigan and im way down in Tennessee/Kentucky/Virginia...

I have a ford 2600 that was starting with the occasional issue with it not firing right away, and it would sometimes take a few key bumps and it fired right up. Today i was trying to figure out why none of my lights were working, and i was tracing the cables looking for a break since the fuses...

Hey guys, Wondering if any of you have seen a steady flow of water leaking below the water pump on a ford 2600 before. Trying to determine if its a bad leak coming out or a weep hole, or a cracked block Tractor did not over heat or anything and the fan is not wobbly. Ill be taking the hood...

Hey Y'all, I am chasing the gremlins of a tractor that was sitting for a year. Clutch will not disengage. Any ideas as to a possible fix to get it to break free. I cant see any access panels and really dont want to split/replace it if I dont have to. Thanks for any help!!

I'm going to start off by saying i have a basic mechanical understanding, but assume most people here know a lot more than me I have been having issues starting my 1979 Ford 2600 gas tractor. The days when it will actually start, it runs and sounds very good, but the last few times i haven't...

Hey fellas, I recently purchased a Ford 2600 and would like to put a front end loader on it but I'm at my wits end trying to find one that fits without a ton of work. I'm sure some of you have some models that will work so can you help a guy out by letting me know what front loaders would...

Someone borrowed my Ford 2600, hit a curb, broke the spindle,flipped it up on its side and bent the radius arm. Question. How do I remove the old spindle arm. I have the back unhooked but can't budge the bolt holding the yoke to the front axle. Any ideas?

I took my lift cover off my 2600 to clean the gunk out of it and unstick the draft/position levers. The fluid hasn't been changed in several years and it sat out in the weather for a little of that time. So I figured a good cleaning was in order. What else should I look for and/or replace...

Greetings- New member here. My brother-in-law has two tractors a old Massey and a Ford 2600 (Model number BA21?C). I was able to get the old Massey working and was hoping to get some help for the Ford. My brother-in-law has stage 4 cancer and is too weak to get help out to his farm. I'm...

So last week I was working around the house with the tractor and noticed a pretty bad smell. I noticed it a little the previous time I ran the tractor, but didn't think much of it. This time I was working constant for a couple of hours and the smell got to be worse. I checked all around, but...

I would like to add a rear remote to my Ford 2600 to run a chipper with hydraulic feed or logsplitter and a hydraulic top link. The picture below shows what is currently installed. First question can the valve shown work to direct flow to operate the chipper/logsplitter and the top link...

Hello everyone, My 2600 has been running rough, is low on power, and emits black smoke when revved up. It's been bad the last few days, but I'd noticed loss of power over the last couple of months. It starts right up and idles OK. I can't see any leaks, in the past when it acted like this...

I recently tried to start my 40+ year old Ford 2600 diesel during a period of freezing weather. I had to jump the battery to get enough juice to turn it over but when I did it fired up and within seconds there was a very loud clank-clank-clank-clank bell like noise from the radiator/water pump...

My 1976 Ford 2600 diesel is leaking hydraulic fluid out of the steering shaft just below the steering wheel. Does anyone know what the fix is and how involved is it?

I posted this once before with no response. I need to replace the steering sector seals and would like to know if they can be replaced without removing the steering box. Reading the repair manual it's not real clear.

Today I installed a sissor lift on the back of my 2600 and when I tried to lift a 900lb round bale it barely started to lift it off the ground. I have never had a problem with the lift before. would it be because the bale is so far behind the tractor that it is too much weght for it. I took the...

We have a ford 2600 tractor and cannot figure out how to get the rear hydraulics hoses off to hook the up to an mower. Any ideas?

Anyone know if the steering gear seals can be installed without removing the steering box?

Put a new clutch in my 2600 and I think I might have put the disc in wrong. Clutch works but engages/disengages at the bottom of the clutch pedal travel, but does fully engage/disengage. PTO works fine. Free travel is adjusted properly. Haven't run this tractor for over a year and I can't...

I have a guy interested in trading a YM336D for my Ford 2600. Any thoughts?

I have a 2600 with single filter setup and would like to switch to a dual setup with a clear bowl so I can monitor the filtration. Will a dual setup like this work without any other modifications (lift pump)? Thanks in advance for any help. Ford Tractor Fuel Filter Assembly 3000 5000 4000...

I am having to replace the right front wheel bearing. I cannot get the dust cover off. My local Ford dealer tells me that it is a screw on dust cap. Is this correct? Also, is there anything else I need to know before I proceed?

I have been having one problem after the other with my Ford 2600. I posted last summer about problems with it starting then dying. I thought it might be the fuel pump, so I ordered one and it turned out to be the wrong part. I just cleaned out the old one really good and reinstalled it. It...

I just purchased a Ford 2600 (1976 model year) diesel tractor. It is leaking steering fluid out of the top of the steering column just below the steering wheel. Has anyone had this problem and know what the repair is?

How to tell year made#C570274 can any one tell me what year it is thanks RLW

It's a diesel and I don't know what kind of tube this stuff is and where should I go to get it on a weekend. The local New Holland dealer thought maybe some kind of rubber hose but he'd have to order it. Need to get this tractor runnin' this weekend and right now the lawn/garden hose is looking...

I had been having problems with my gas engine Ford 2600 cranking and then dying. I have a tractor mechanic from one of the local shops who is moonlighting on the side working on my tractor. His first thought was that the points were bad, so we replaced those along with the condensor. This...

Hi all What would be a reasonable price for a 1980 Ford 2600 diesel with a loader and cab, and 500 hours on the clock? The hours appear genuine as the tractor has not been used that much. Any estimates appreciated. Cheers and thanks Rob

I'm looking at a Ford 2600 now and drove it today. Not sure how much assist the steering mechanism is supposed to supply. It seems to me that the steering assist was not working well at all. Almost as if there was no power assist steering on the tractor. It's a very low hour tractor, mostly sat...

Hi guys, I'm a new member, but longtime lurker. I recently got an '80 model Ford 2600 diesel. It is in terrible shape, but you can't beat free! The tractor is showing somewhere near 2500 hours, but I have no idea if that's original. I got the tractor out of a lady's yard, and she said it had...

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to the forum, but have been a long time lurker. I took on a project tractor recently. It's an '80 model Ford 2600 Diesel. It's ugly as sin, but I bought it right. I am experienced in automotive restoration, so this is not too far out of my nitche. My plans for this...

I'm not wanting to compare horsepower on these two tractors. If you had your druthers, assuming equal state of repair and hours, which one of these units would catch your eye first? Seems like the 1900 has more speeds than the 2600. The 2600 has the 2 PTO levers, indicative of draft control and...

Hello everyone, I have two questions. First, does $1600 for a "like new" Bushhog 286 medium duty mower sound alright? Second, am I going to be able to run this thing with my Ford 2600 diesel. I really want a medium duty bushhog as I plan to eventually upgrade to a 50+ PTO HP tractor in the...

I hope this is the right forum to post this in, and I hope it's okay to do a WTT thread. If not, mods please delete! Hi all, Recently, one of my and my father's tractors were stolen (Ford 3600), and we need to replace it. We don't have any extra money to go buy another, so my father and I are...

My Ford 2600 (diesel) runs hot and shuts down after about and hour of use. I've learned to go to the barn before it shuts down. After cool down it's ready to go for another hour. I replaced fuel filter; no change. Thought I would replace thermostat but after draining radiator and taking off...

Hi All, I have a Ford 2600 with a FEL and it just doesn't seem to have that much strength. Not even enough to lift the front tires off the ground. The fluid level is good and the hydo filter has been replaced. The FEL will very slowly drop (same with the 3pt) so there seems to be some bypass...

A dealer by me has a Ford 2600 gas w/FEL on consignment. I have yet to get there during their normal business hours so we haven't talked price as of yet. Also I didn't want to snoop around during off hours. If all goes well hear at work I think I can get there for Friday. Just wondering what...
