My father in law put on an over run clutch and his son drilled a hole in it and put a bolt through it. Had no idea why the tractor was “pushing “ him. Tractor was identical to yours. His son then would try to bushhog with and complained about it being weak. He was running it at 1200 rpm. He lugged it around. He has a 65 hp Massey and runs it at 1200.
Nice tractor ! mine is a 64 4000 with the ford loader and 172 gas engine in great original shape, I love these old ford tractors , I’ll have to make a video of mine .
I just bought a 63 ford 2000 but mine has the selectospeed transmission. The trans. is a little jerky but it does give you nice slow gears. I think 1st gear is about 1 1/2mph. and it has live pto.
i have a 64 ford 2000 also. nice job on this one. ive been looking for a new starter that will fit, have not had any luck. do you know where/have a link to where you got yours? thanks
Jeffrey, I have a 1964 Ford 2000 tractor as well. I am having problems with my brush hog. The front of the brush hog drags on the ground. Is there something on the tractor that will lift the front. I would use the hydraulics but it bleeds and lowers while mowing.
ruclips.net/video/IzuJvf6ocaI/видео.html This hydraulic system is the same on the NAA, 600 series and 2000 series and many others. Could be you have the same problem he had. Dan Gingell (Steiner Repair) has a video explaining how to search for internal hydraulic leaks on the 600/800 series, that works on the 2000 as well. You will have to investigate to find a weak spot. Also if your hydraulic pump on the block is loud, it may need a rebuild to provide the pressure you need for something heavy. Brush hogs are quite heavy for these tractors and older seals and O rings aren't up to it. There is a relief valve located under the hydraulic piston that will cause drifting when it wears out but if you are going to dig that deep you might as well do a complete rebuild. The cover plate is heavy to lift but the rebuild is not terribly difficult to do. Lastly I would suggest your hydraulic fluid. Contaminated or old fluid may cause the system to react poorly. If you know where the hydraulic drain plug is, slowly unscrew it until something leaks out. If it is water coming out first, you have dirty fluid. If the tractor sets outside for any length of time it will have water in it from condensation and rain. Mine stays in the barn but I change the fluid every couple of years to get out condensation. Buy hydraulic fluid recomended for the tractor too. You won't be happy with cheap fluid. Good luck, good mowing!
I can’t find any videos of people attempting to run a 7ft mower on a jubilee or 8n just people jabbering about The 5 hp per shredder foot width, how does that 7 footer cut ? Could it run an 8 ? My 8.n is great with my 5 footer and always wondered about a 7 footer
My engine is around 35hp if it is running well. It handles the mower pretty well but 1 foot tall stuff will bog it down. So I raise the mower a couple inches off the ground the first pass then down on the second and it does fine. I'm not sure of an 8N's hp but if it is less than 35 I believe you should go with something smaller. Agri-supply sells a 6 footer I think.
This is close to the same as mine. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tool-tuff-direct-overrunning-clutch-1-3-8x6-female-to-1-3-8x6-male-75hp-quick-release-27-027?cm_vc=-10005
I wonder if someone has changed the sheet metal on your 2000 or if maybe its not really a 2000. It shouldnt have the round plastic part on the front of the hood on a 2000. It should look like this one. ruclips.net/video/IS6OBSwDdAo/видео.html
@@TheJohndeere466 The serial number for the tractor puts it as a 1964 Ford 2000. Last year they used the 134 four cylinder. From the NAA/Jubilee until 2000 The tractors looked mostly the same.

Every 2000 I have split to replace the clutch has been a 2 stage conech only seen one with single stage clutch. And I have replaced 14 so far.

To get a hi and low shift you have to step up to a 4000.
I do believe you have put a much larger tire on that tractor creating your issue
Nice tractor man I have a 1955 Ford 800 series 850 it is identical to that only the red and grey I mean to a T great video
They are all great to me too. Wish there were more videos of them. How about you doing one? Thanks for the reply.
Jeffrey Ticen I used mine in a couple videos for food plotting I haven't done a review

Do you know where I can get that air intake hose for these tractors, I’ve looked but can’t find one, mine is all dry rotted. Nice video.

What coolant do you put in it
if you had the 5 speed trans you would've had live pto
Yeah, your right.
Thanks for taking the time to review the mower! I've been looking at them. Just wondering if my machine has enough power to run the 8 footer!
Thanks
tires are to large and is why first gear is to fast

Nice video, I'm having trouble with my throttle lever. It moves freely but won't stay in place when I try set it. Any advice?
Under your battery plate there is a connection for your throttle linkage. There is a friction plate in it. Perhaps it is worn. Thanks and good luck.
What brand overrun clutch did you buy?
This is close to the same as mine.

Nice tractor, the nose cone doesn't belong on a 64, it's a flat style, I have 64 4000, oh well, just my two cents
Thanks. Yeah the tractor has a lot of unoriginal parts but it works well for what I need it for.
Yeah, I also have a 1958 641 D all are great tractors, enjoy!!

Your right. Previous owner modified some things on the tractor. He put a car emblem on the front. I don't mind.
