- Finally getting the 1968 Ford 5000 restoration project out in the field. Trying out the tractor, it's first time mowing. Also testing out the John Deere 609 6' rotary cutter! Mowing some acreage in Maine. Bush hogging/mowing.
Making custom brush guard - • Tractor Heavy Bumper B...
Making heavy exhaust guard - • Tractor Exhaust Shield...
AWESOME DUDE thank you for sharing your videos with us. ..
Thanks, glad you like them.
Nice to see you're keeping the old homestead mowed and open. So many of these old properties are allowed to become overgrown.
Thanks. It's amazing how fast it grows up if left unattended!
I spent hours an hours and hours on my Ford 5000, mowing, bailing, bush hogging and pushing snow. I sold my farm and moved to AZ, I do miss my Ford 5000.
Seems like a good memory to me. Love the 1000 series Ford tractors.
The Ford 5000 was my favorite tractor when in HS/College. I used to work for a Ford Tractor dealer when going to college and we sold a ton of them. One of my main jobs was delivering\driving the new tractors to the farmers farm. The only other Ford that I was in love with :) was the 6000 Commander. I grew up on a farm and Cattle ranch in the southwest and after college farmed for a while myself. I had a Ford 3000.
I have Kubotas now but no longer farm.
Loved the vid. Very nice rebuild on the clutch
I am subscribed!
Awesome experience with the Ford tractors. I've always been in love with the old Ford tractors. Thanks for watching!
This was cool. Man I miss those fields.
Sure has changed over the years! Amazing how fast it grows up
I’ve never seen anyone have good fuel efficiency for the ford tractors. I noticed the leading cutting edge of your bush hog looks a little bit high. I have always had mine about 1 1/2 inches lower than the back. This helps the debris go out the back and gave me a clearer cut. It’s looking like you’re getting the place in good shape, keep up the good work.
Thanks, I'll try adjusting the deck angle.
I came across this and sounds just like my 5000 1967 Gas tractor here in Indiana. I saw the large number of surface rocks and wondered if you were in New England somewhere there you mentioned Maine. Got mine when I was a newly married man used from a dealer here. Mine came with adjustable width rear rims with weights. I had to add front weight using a cat 2 quick hitch and 84" Landpride flail as it is very heavy. It mikes the 5000 work hard but still runs great after repairs to balancer and hydraulics many years ago. To replace with Kubota will be very expensive if ever I have to replace or add.
We grow rocks here in Maine! The winter frost is forever pushing up new rocks, and Its always a struggle mowing. Cool tractor! I am on the lookout for a nice set of weights, I think it would help quite a bit. Yes, these tractors are worth keeping fixed up. Very functional and rugged.
The 5000 is looking and sounding good!
Thanks! Its been a fun project, nice to have it functional now
Nice tractor ford is antic and beutiful
Great video Mark! I haven't seen any petrol 5000s in Australia so it was good to watch and the size caparison of the two tractors. I like what you have done with your Ford 5000 and the 6 foot slasher too great job ! I have a 1965 model Ford 5000 that has had the bigger 4.2ltr diesel engine fitted. I'm currently patching up my 5 foot slasher deck at the moment, also I recently fitted the tractor with a new water pump and lift pump. That beasty brush guard of yours would knock them bigger trees down rather than reversing into them once they're laid down the slasher would mulch them up.
Awesome, thanks! The 5000 gas (petrol) tractors are very common here, secretly I wanted a diesel...but this 5000 I have was just a real good deal I couldnt pass up! Your 5000 should have no problem spinning that 5' cutter! My 5000 handles that big John Deere 6' cutter without a hiccup. Thanks. The bumper is great, but it has proven valuable mowing the overgrown fields I mow.
@@marktolman6037 You're welcome ! Sounds like most of the petrol models went over to America. Haha yeah when good deals come up you can't turn them down. Yeah it powers my 5 foot slasher no worries at all, I'd like to get a 6 foot one at some point which is probably the perfect size for a 5000. Fair call you don't want to damage the timber hitting anything too big, my guard is made out of 4mm box section steel very strong I've knocked decent trees down with mine going through the bush on my 20 acre block trees about 15 foot tall and it hasn't marked it.
@@concordenduro28 Only major complaint with the gas engine, is fuel consumption! It's a thirsty tractor. I've heard the diesel engine is much easier on fuel...Awesome! Sounds like your putting in some honest work with that 5000. Keep those old tractors working!
@@marktolman6037 A petrol tractor that size would guzzle the fuel. 9hrs out of a tank though is alright considering and what you were mowing. Yeah my diesel one I did 3 hours of box grading with the rippers down and it didn't use much at all. Thanks! Keep those Ford 5000 videos coming I look forward to seeing more of them!
Not too bad, I only mow about 30 hrs a year. If I was mowing much more than that, it would be hard to keep the tractor! Thanks
I seem to remember my 5000 diesel used about 2gl /hr when working hard
So the gas engine really isn't that bad...
@@marktolman6037 l also run 4000 gas about the same gas useage
@@ashleyswearingen2120 So going to a diesel probably won't save me a ton on fuel, especially with diesel prices now
Hey mate reckon you could do a video of the hyd controls and best operating practises. Just picked up a similar ford 5000 and wouldn't mind a video crash course
I'll see what I can pull together...
@@marktolman6037 cheers mate appreciate it
22:40 how many liters is the engine? My zero turn is 740cc and uses almost 1 gallon of gas an hour.
3.8 liter, or 3700 cc. Not too bad if you compare the tractor's fuel usage to a mowing tractor...
Hey bud where is the exhaust pipe on the 5000. I'm just curious.
On the left side of the rig, running under the tractor. I built that heavy blue shield to cover it from damage.
@@marktolman6037 ok buddy if that what you like that's fine. But just a heads up. I grew up on a farm. And the man I used to help on the farm set his cow pasture on fire by having that exhaust pipe run under the tractor like that. No I'm just saying just be careful with it okay. He said he liked the muffler under the tractor so the smoke wouldn't get in his eyes . After he sent the cow pasture on fire he put them up back on top of the tractor where it should have been in the first place. But it's all in what you like if you like it like that that's fine just be careful okay. Oh and I do like your 5000 the guy I work for had one like that too. Pulled a five bottom plow it was a really nice tractor anyway have a great day.
@@carlhelmick7711thanks, I'll be careful. The guy I got the 5000 from set a hay field on fire with this tractor haha, years ago. It's not what I like, but it's the way the tractor was set up and I dont want to change it yet. Maybe someday I'll go back to a stack out of the hood
The Ford 5000 is in the JD 3020 and Farmall 756 power range.
Correct, they all seem to be in the same weigh class as well...depending on tire ballast and extras obviously. I would sure love to upgrade to a diesel version though!
@@marktolman6037 Diesel would be nice for fuel economy. Gas is easier to repair.
@@miniaturefarmer464 this is true. Diesel right now is 6.00 a gallon (off road)! So maybe gasoline isnt so bad..
So what was the total cost to repair $400?
Without labor (did all work myself), I would say around $500 with the clutch parts from John Deere being the most expensive. Oil, grease fittings, welding rods, fuel for torches, grinding discs, tail wheel bearings and races.
That person filming shouldn't be that close to the mower.
Thanks, that's a legitimate concern. The operator of the Gator was in the cab of the machine, with a GoPro attached to a long boom, zoomed in, so his danger was minimized. That way we could get good footage from afar.
@@marktolman6037 My mistake. It's hard to tell in some of these videos. Glad they were at a safe distance.
@@flipflopsgarage No worries, also, for some of the closeup stuff the camera was sitting on a tripod. Thanks for watching!
what year?
1968
You could put some cow manure on the Bass of the fruit tree
