Hi all! I have a 1967 Ford 4000 with a bucket. The problem is that the 3 point hitch is either in the up position or the down position, it will not adjust and stay anywhere in between. The bucket works just fine which leads me to think the hydraulic pump is working. New fluid, new external...

This is an old Ford, around 68 I think. 201 Diesel. Ran very well when I bought it, and has been nearly trouble free. Had a leaking O ring on top of the injector pump, and fixed it successfully - that was last summer. No leaks, and no problems until about six weeks ago. I let it sit while...

Any suggestions on what type of Power Steering kit will work on my Ford 4000 with front shaft driven 730 Loader? It appears that most kits state "NOT" for use with Front Loaders. I'm assuming this is due to the loader frame clearance. Loader works great, but is a little tough to steer especially...

Hi guys this is my first post. The pto shaft on my 1973 Ford 4000 has been pulled out due to the ceased telescopic shaft on my topper. The seal has come out, the bearing is still in, the inner snap ring has broken up. Ive shone a light up to the pack and there seems to be thrust...

Has anyone had any experience with a Ford 4000 1963 kicking out of the PTO when mowing or other uses? Mine has kicked out of gear several times, when under a load. Mostly it does it if I am bush hogging some significant saplings, or the blade slices through a hump of dirt. Is it supposed to do...

Hi Guys, I just purchased a Ford 4000 Tractor with front end loader and backhoe. I was told it was a ford 4000 with the original engine. The guy said it's yellow because it was an industrial unit. In fact it still has a license plate on the back. I am rather handy with stuff and will be doing...

I have wanted my own piece of equipment for excavation for some time now. I thought for some time, that I'd get a skid loader, then I considered a mini-excavator. Finally I decided on a backhoe, front-end loader combo since it can do most everything, it just might take longer doing some things...

Alrighty fellas, I'll skip the boring intro to my issues today, but wondered if anyone had any ideas how exactly the distributor cap stays in place on Ol' Blue? I've found clips for the N series and the older 4000 models-are they the same? thanks in advance.... Shawn

I am looking at purchasing a 1972 Ford 4000 2wd with Cozy Cab, industrial loader, and rear blade. My questions to whomever owns one out there is, what is a unit like this really worth? It has 4000 hours on the unit, power steering, has been converted from generator to an alternator.

The clutch petal on the 4000 ford sheared off flush with the housing. Any advise on how to get to the shaft? The petal slides onto the shaft and is held on by a roll pin. I'm thinking the plate on top where the cables for the Select-o-Matic and the PTO go in may be removed to access the shaft.

My tractor starts and runs for maybe 10 minutes then stalls. It will start again but only run for 20 seconds or so. This is a 3 cyl gas engine. I have new plug wires and plugs. The carb bowl has gas when I pull the drain plug. The throttle does not seem to raise the RPM's. Any ideas as to what...

I asked this under the Ford Ag and got no replies so far so I thought maybe under here. I guess it's hard for me to think of a tractor that was very popular in my youth as vintage. I would see these on farms, I just never worked for anyone with one. I've searched the forums and still haven't...

A friend of mine would like me to go with him and look at a Ford 4000 diesel.

While I'm very familiar with machinery most...
