Disconnecting A FEL On A Ford 3000

[Soundguy]

pittman arm puller or tie rod end seperator. if the tie rods won't let go with a pickle fork or proper seperator.. just pull the sector arm off the sector shaft with a 2 jaw puller.. OR.. unbolt the steering box and lift it up a bit..

on those numbers.. you missed an important one. you got a Basildon SN and a most of a date code... you missed the model ID
6m29 is 1966 december, 29th.. there will be a ABC at the end for shift.

the model ID for a 66 will begin with a 3 for a 3000

for instance.. and ag 3000 before 4-68 that is diesel and has an 8spd with live pto would have the model ID # of:

31013C ( a very common build on a 3000 )

Well I finally took advantage of the nice weather and some time off work to get this thing split. I left the loader on which actually came in handy to support the steering box since I couldn't get the draglinks disconnected from the steering arms. The hardest part was getting the starter motor off. There was one bolt between it and the engine which was a totally awkward spot. I managed to get a socket on it and give it a turn to loosen it enough so I could turn it with my fingers. This took quite a while. The ATV winch came in handy to pull the transmission away from the engine. The wife operated the winch while I watched out for any snags with the steering box and hydraulic manifold. The clutch was totally shot. The pressure plate had disintegrated and the rivets that held the old pads on it had scored deep gouges in the friction plate. The fly wheel looks like it is still in good shape though and no teeth are worn or missing. I am going to order a new clutch package along with a throw out bearing and a pilot bearing. Now comes the hard part. Putting it back together.

While I have her split I took a photo of the serial number.
