I truly admire your work ethic and ingenuity. Not easy turning your hand to everything that needs to be done and then being criticised for it. That old tractor does an impressive job. x
It is always so wonderful to see & hear your precious little son on these videos. He's so interested in what you are doing. He'll be a great helper for you soon!! Good job on repairing that tractor. We appreciate all the different shots you take time to capture - such patience!! 🌟
Farmers ingenuity to get the work done. You could get the whole job done faster but you take time to place the camera for active shots. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Didn't even work up a sweat nor any mosquito bites. :)
I own a Lawn and landscaping company. As much as i hate this product i love it in tractors, mowers, trailers and slow moving equipment. It makes a mess but has saved me over the years. Its thats green tire slime that stops leaks and flats bought at Walmart.
I think the Dump truck scene of the video was my favorite your little helper had you working the shovel while he supervised..lol Thanks for sharing your videos they are a joy and God bless!!
Enjoyed the video - I mowed a lot of acres with a Ford 2000. The curved end of the blue stabilizer bars should be attached to the pins under the rear axle - this allows the bar to better clear the axle when you raise the implement.
I've got a soft spot for these old Ford tractors. I've spent a few summers on a Ford 1900,2000, and 3000 pulling a bush hog and flail mower behind it. Love the old 3000 diesel. 😁👍❤️
Appreciate your GREAT video work which obviously takes time !! Good to see your son getting "involved" - that's how they learn - especially when you answer his questions and give him an explanation !! He'll grow up knowledgeable and be a BIG help to you !! Amen ?
First of all, your little man gets more adorable every time I see him! You are so blessed, sir! 🙏😌 I love your practical approach to everything! I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion on attempting the repair and seeing what happens! 👍👍👍
@@Dave-fo1cb I have a 1968 vintage gas 3000. Haven’t noticed any vapor lock either. I use for mowing, brush cutting, blading the gravel drive, carrying stuff in or with the bucket. When I was a kid, we had a 2000 and a 4000. All of them did and now do their jobs.
@PJ Seiber, I was literally scrolling down all the comments looking for this one before I post a duplicate. I knew SOMEONE had to post that great old saying.
When you attach implements and need the sway bars, raise the implement off the ground slightly so you can move it left and right. I can always get one SB on my Ford 4000 but the other is usually stubborn. I put one sway bar on, raise the lift so I can manipulate the implement and with just a slight bit of movement I can always get the other SB to line up. Just a little tip from one old tractor guy to another. Happy mowing, and your 3000 looks and sounds great.
Nice too see your son around the machinery. Great little tractor the 3000 was my dad's first tractor when he started farming 39 years ago. Wish he would've never sold it when we immigrated to Canada 🇨🇦 maybe one day I will find it
Another great video thanks Wes! That welding job looked good enough to me. I remember using those stabiliser bars in my younger days, and we only ever used one. Once the implement is attached, the distance between the two arms is fixed, so you only really need one bar, though it could be said two would spread the load a bit. I still can't get over how great that Ford is loooking since you gave her a clean up & service! Would have been nice to see your Dad trying out a real tractor! Regards to all - stay safe & well. 👍👍
Love the channel. Well done videos, explanations and editing. We had a tractor like that when I was a kid. One thing that made that manual steering a lot easier was a Brody knob. I see you whipping that wheel around like a professional but consider a Brody knob for even more control. Subscribed. Glad I found your channel.
Some times the valve stem leaks, put a little spit on the end of your finger and rub your finger across the top of the valve stem. If it's blowin bubbles just give it a snug with a valve stem tool (or an old metal valve stem cap that has an integral one on it). -- He he, lots of grindin and paint make a welder you ain't .😎 Words that I recite every time I melt steel together. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
Paint and a grinder can cover a lot of evil for sure. I actually checked the valve stem with soapy water and didn't see anything. It must be a really slow leak that's tough to see.
You have another old stabilizer bar for the other side. If it is to short, cut it in half and weld in a short piece to make a custom bar for the mower. If it is to long, section a piece out of it and voila... Great to see old vintage tractors still working and being useful. (My brother has 6 assorted tractors from 1950 all thway to 1983? I think.) Oh yea and 1 new Kioti. Love your old tractor vids.
Had a 69-71 2000 Diesel back in the 90s, was my pride and joy. Money got tight, kids came along & I sold her to pay bills. Even though I have a few others since, including a 2021 L2501HST, I still look at used 2000/3000 for sale on FBMP & CL. If I run across a goodern, I might just buy it as a dedicated bush hog machine.
I am assuming you tried this, but when I put on my stabilizers, I often have to have the implement raised to be able to swing it to get them both on. Trying to do it on the ground is a no-go. I chuckled when I saw the Tonka dump truck. I literally have the one I receive on a birthday in the '70's sitting on my deck as a decoration. It raised eyebrows with the better half when I put it there, but I told her it "sparked joy". Thank you Marie Kondo for that bs line....
@@falllineridge Well, that is not good. Maybe adjustable bars are the way to go then. I imagine the Kubota has them. With your mad welding skills you should be able to fabricate something. ;-) (Don't feel bad. I started welding in my 40's as I did not want to pay someone to patch my race car and seem weld it. I got better, but I am not a welder, either.)
I bush hogged for several years with one stabilizer bar. Now, I have to admit, I had to straighten it a few times and even replaced it once, but they aren't terribly expensive.
Love the "triggered warnings" heh heh I used glyphosate several times to eradicate bermuda grass in my garden area. Worked great and I no longer fight the bermuda grass.
I have the exact same tractor with the exact same three-point lift mine unscrewed and pulled out just like yours I simply screwed it back in no need to weld but they do sell those for about a hundred bucks a pop
I noticed that when you were camming that the Left receiving pin on your mower appears to be slightly bent backwards. This would make it slightly shorter and not allowed you to attach the 3nd bar and may be why you couldn't get the arm in place. Try checking it with a square or angle finder. Great come back fix good seeing the Boss's vocabulary growing so fast he's definitely a helper for you. As always good luck and God Bless.
@@falllineridge just trying to help you out. I hope that works out for you and can't wait for the video. I love that you have such a great work ethic and I see the love you have for The Boss and the patience you show him. He's going too be a much better man because it. As always good luck and God Bless. PS you can do it remember let your hater's be your motivators.
Great video. That weld will probably last a few years if not longer. I think you could go to your tractor store and get longer pins to put on your mower deck and then install the other bar.
Throw and grow works pretty well, as long as you have bare dirt to throw it on. And it gets rained on within a day or so of putting it out. But I totally see your logic: I got one chance this year, so you do what you know works.
Lots of those old tractors only used one sway bar. Your tire could be leaking at the bead or the valve stem or the core it's self. You may have had issues welding from contamination in the lower piece. Warming it was a good idea, drives out any moisture and maybe burns off some contamination.
Spent a many an hour on a Jubilee and other 30 Hp Ford tractors. I worked at my Grandpas farm in Ben Hill County, GA inthe summer, starting at about age 12. Just for the record, I do not see that tach in the PTOrange. My grandpa would have kicked my butt if he caught me running a powered implement and the engine was not in the PTO range on the tach. I notice such things.
Can you modify or fabricate the 2nd stabilizer bar? One seems to be working alright, but it's made for two. Perhaps also a dab of grease on the pivot points to reduce wear? Great video and thank you Wes, for bringing us along. Your son is adorable and is a spittin' image of his Dad! Thank you Mom and Dad for that great upbringing on such a handsome young lad!
I really think when you shortened the chains up and you raised 3 pt up all the way, the hydraulics pulled that worn out thread apart. Your fix will work! Only adjust on opposite side.
Good job getting back to work! Hey, couldn't you make a stabilizer bar? Even IF you had to make one from the others you have, you could make one out of them. Couldn't you? Your weld held here! Thanks for another great video! When your son asked "what's this, dada?" (referring to the sawdust), you missed an opportunity to say "That's work, son!". ;-)
That weld did it's job, and that is what you wanted. I don't think it looked that bad, for a non-welder, and the blue paint made it practically disappear.
I don't know if you did this before welding but I was always told to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before welding, or you may short the diodes in the alternator's rectifier circuit !
That will probably break if you ever have to do another one split the one as far as the other one sticks in it about 4 inches and weld through the split welding the 2 together and it outlast the tractor
if you clean and grease the exposed threads too before inserting it and vice-grip the split closed around the threads it should still move ok once weded.
Many of those lift links are welded. It's not that they were improperly built or weak. Just consider the many many years of use they have and how many times someone exceeded the designed limit. As a farmer who uses Ford equipment, its typical things that happen. I've seen many tractors with welded lift links, of all brands. 3 point hitches take a hell of a beating.
In a previous life (I'm retired) I was a welder and I don't know what kind of rod you used, but for welding to cast iron we would preheat, which you did, and use a rod called Ni-rod. I don't have a lot of experience doing that, more like watching other people do it, but supposedly that's the right way
Suggestion: Those logs Pop was moving and others that size and smaller (even pre-cant skins) {wild guess at what you would call them} bury them about 5 inches deeper than your tiller depth and let Mother Nature turn them into good humous.
It's a leveling box ( don't know why they call it that ). You won't need it until you start digging in the dirt unless something gets bent. eBay has them as low as sixty bucks.
Another great video as always. Thank you for the consistent entertainment. One question, do you have to use round-up? I would hate to see you, your family and pets exposed to this potential cancer causing agent.
Thanks. For a good weed free seed bed, glyphosate is extremely helpful. Especially in an area like this that's full of briars. I'm thinking about trying one plot at home herbicide free just as an experiment.
Not sure if it applies to tractors as well but any time your welding on something with an electrical system you want to un hook the batts before welding. So you dont short anything out.
There were several sizes for those tractors. Look online to find the one that matches your hub and current tire size. If the size is legible on the sidewalk, trust that. If you have fluid in them, make sure you have hydraulic help to move them. That fluid is 304 lbs on my 3000 if full and people have gotten hurt badly by tires tipping over.
It's a great old tractor! It's a 1967. I got it from my dad as a house warming gift when we moved back onto this property. He figured I needed a tractor, I agreed.

If you think about it, all we ever do in life is pick stuff up from one place and move it to another.
There are longer pins available for replacement in your rotary cutter. That way you can attach both stabilization arms.
Looks good
I always put clinch pins in from the top, so the positioning is correct.

thxs good dad amen
good way to grind ur fingernails same time lol as the blade ehehhehe
You like the slip clutch better than the pin system? Why?
Spray on Ford Blue and it’s good as new!
I don't know if you did this before welding but I was always told to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before welding, or you may short the diodes in the alternator's rectifier circuit !
The spray can hides a multitude of sins in the welding department...
A grinder fixes every thing
If you're planning to till you shouldn't need to spray. Just go over the field in two directions and it should take care of all the weeds.
You had the oxy acytelene torch out just braze it. Stronger than weld.
That will probably break if you ever have to do another one split the one as far as the other one sticks in it about 4 inches and weld through the split welding the 2 together and it outlast the tractor
if you clean and grease the exposed threads too before inserting it and vice-grip the split closed around the threads it should still move ok once weded.
