Ford 3000
Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong thread and/or has been posted before, I can't seem to find anything. Right as per title I have a 1970 Ford 3000 that I need to carry out various jobs on, I also have a cd rom disc I got off e-bay that is supposed to be a workshop manual covering the 2000 - 7000, but even though it has over 900 pages there is a lot of information missing, for instance it does not say how to take the bodywork off, the electrical section is very basic etc. etc. I've searched on line for a proper book that I can take into the workshop with me & have seen a few different ones so my question is which should I go for, Is there one specifically for the 3000, anyone got any links or can point me in the right direction,(preferably UK sites).
Cheers
:thumbsup:

Have you tried going to the New Holland site..? New Holland

They have pretty good exploded views of things like the sheet metal, and fasteners, and where attached.

I tried to enter the UK site, but you need to be a registered user. The U.S site, you can just go on in, without registering. If you do go into the site, and never been there...

1. Put your cursor on New Holland Agriculture, then slide down to North America. It will turn yellow, then left click...

2. Place your cursor on "Parts and Service". Below will appear "search for parts" and 'Online parts store". Left click on "search for parts."

3. In the top left, you will see a white block to type in your model number, ie; 3000. Then click on search.

4. Select your tractor, in the list here, your tractor is the second one in the list. Click on it...

5. A menu will appear for every section of the tractor. Select the section, and it will show an exploded view of it.

It has helped me a lot working on my 2000. I have the hardcopy of the manual for the 2000 through 7000. And yes, things are not sometimes job specific, as what to remove, to get to what you are working on. There is, what we call here, a lot of "gingerbread", or sheet metal in the way.

You'll just have to decide what needs to be removed, to get to what you want, then go to that section in the manual, or check the exploded view on the parts page I gave the link to.. I've made more than several copies of such, to take to the shop.

It may help, if you have a problem, to post down in Vintage Fords, on down the list, and a fellow by the name of Soundguy could probably tell you what you need to know.. He could more than likely take one apart with his eyes closed.., LOL...

Hey fellas, thanks for replying. The two jobs I'm trying to do at the moment is change/clean the hydraulic filters & also take a look at the electrics. I'm just on the New Holland site looking at the exploded views, nice tip cheers. I will post some questions in the Vintage Ford thread but I would still like a manual, does anyone know how good this one is Ford Shop Service Manual: Models 2000/3000/4000 I & T Shop Service Manuals: Amazon.co.uk: Intertec Publishing Corporation: Books :thumbsup:

Just my personal opinion mind you, but the I&T's have a lot to be desired. Condense those 900 pages into just under 100, and a lot of info is left out.

They are OK for tune up specs, fluid capacities, engine specs., etc.

I have one for my 2000, but the only reason being I got it from ebay for like $5.00, and cheap shipping.

the i& t manuals are good for basic maintenace on the 53+ machines. on the 39-52 machines.. it's actually a decent manual...
