I'm getting ready to tear into the front axle and bolster on my IH 544. Your video is giving me quiet a few good tips on how to work on these old tractors. Thank you!
Great video. I just bought my dads old 4100. 1977 i think. I have to do all this myself now. I know its 2 years old but i love it when guys show the real world. Beatin and bangin, dropping sockets, trying not to cuss. Good job.
I am sure you will love your 5000. I have a 69 Ford 4000 and it is my pride and joy. I drove a 4000 when I was milking cows as a teenager, so it makes sense for me to seek one out. Thanks for the good repair video!
Thanks, since this video I have went all through the tractor, and have been using it for heavy mowing this summer! Check out my other videos....the 5000 has proven to be a very reliable work horse! Love the 60's models 5000, just something about the louvered hood and the rounded fenders make it look like a hot rod haha.
@@marktolman6037 Awesome, I have watched a few more of your videos just now. They have great tips on fixing old stuff up, which is what I am into! Thank you!
Great job and great video. I had to do the same thing on my 4000 about the same time you posted this video. I knew something was up when the top of my tires was rubbing the spindle. My spindle bushings were so worn that the spindles were worn to far to be reused. I ended up getting a burr and pneumatic die grinder and cutting a small groove in my bushings so I could drive them out. I got my spindles from a local tractor parts yard and they included all the bushings plus wheel bearings. Wouldn't you know it, when I pulled the hubs off the inner bearings fell apart in my hand. All new bushings and bearings and the old Ford drives like a champ. I wish I'd found your video before I did mine though, I could have used a few of your techniques and made life a little simpler for me.
Thanks, glad you got some info from the video. When I started working on my 5000, I noticed there weren't any videos on the subject, so I made one. Glad its helped some folks out. Sounds like someone squeezed about every ounce of life out of that steer axle! Good catch on the wheel bearings. It's crazy how metal can wear down to almost nothing!
Good info. My 5030 steering spindle snapped in two so this is invaluable info. I hope I don't have to replace the extension arm, it hasn't been maintained in the 20 years before I got it.
@@marktolman6037 I do the same when I work on my 79 Bronco XLT RANGER from the frame to the diffs they all get some love then they get fresh paint I just like knowing what I've touched and finished
I have to do the same thing on my IH 454 somebody had the spindle out and I doubt if there is a thrust bearing and I know the felt seal on top is missing and it moves up and down by a 1/4 inch and the wheel bearing was three turns on the nut loose so thank for a great cideo
I presume these were pre-reamed bushes, when I did my apprenticeship we had to ream them after fitting as they tended to shrink when pushed in with a press.
great info! I'm hoping you have PTO issues (hopefully I'm not jynxing you) so I can see how you fix it so I can do mine...unless you want to work on another 68 Ford gas 5000!

very cool we had a 5000 back on the farm in the 70s was a good tractor. just got to remember to grease it when i did the oil change
Thanks, definitely! Grease is cheaper than steel

good save on the axle,and thumbs up on the krylon rebuild too
Thank you! Curious, what is it you're calling krylon?
@@marktolman6037 paint I like seeing the effort to save on the parts you've repaired and make it better
Thanks, it's not too much extra to give some paint at the end of a project, but it does look good for a while after

Nice! Makes the project compete! A bit of paint is a good touch
Good video thanks for sharing

Old tractors, new problems! Best of luck.
I presume these were pre-reamed bushes, when I did my apprenticeship we had to ream them after fitting as they tended to shrink when pushed in with a press.
Correct. Also, the original spindle was slightly wore, so that created the perfect fit with a new bushing set.
The previous guy about greasing followed strictly the rule of : "I shall not grease a single thing,ever!"
He did not believe in the power of grease! My old man taught me, "Grease is cheaper than steal."
Good morning
Good morning
Very nice. And my ford 5000 need restoration

Haha what's yours doing? Slipping, not engaging or engaged all the time? Lol, I'll definitely make a video if I have any issues!
@@marktolman6037 Engaged all the time. Had the clutch pack replaced last year which fixed it for a week or two.
Dude awesome vidya I can appreciate this type of work I do it all the time, good job!!!
Thanks! Got to keep this old iron up and running
Good video thanks
We want more
Glad you liked it. Few more videos in the works.
I'm currently using a ford 5000 which wasn't properly maintained. Can you provide a parts list? Great video.
Hi, thanks. Please check out the video description for links to parts. I use All State Ag, Yesterday's Tractor and Steiner Tractor.

My Ford 5000 tractor bearings were almost non existent. My neighbor is doing my spindle repair. With new bearings etc
Those bearings see alot of wear and movement
@@marktolman6037 is it possible to reuse the original handle on a new valve body for the remotes rear hydraulics
I dont see why not...as long as it fits! You could clean it up and repaint it..
Great, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Why r u not repair the centre pin of the axel
Need to use the tractor for summer mowing, that will be an off season project. Another video to come on that.
The bearing is loose on its housing
The bearing should be firmly secured
Hey can you please provide paint code used for your ford 5000
Thanks
TISCO FORD EMPIRE BLUE TP360SP
โอเค
Thanks
Great Video!! Doing the same repair on my 4000. Where did you source your parts?
Most parts came from All State Ag (Tractor Parts ASAP), and Yesterday's Tractor. Good luck with your axle rebuild!
You can also check out Steiner. They send a nice printed catalog in the mail if you request it.
