The hydraulics not working was probably a sticky pressure relief valve, they are a pain to change but cost about $20. The leak down is usually bad seals / rings on the lift cylinder. The water in the transmission you can get out by letting it sit for a few days without starting or moving it and then unscrew the drain plug most but not all the way out. The water will be at the bottom of the transmission under the oil and will drain past the drain plug threads but the oil will be too thick. Do this a few times and you will get most of the water out. This is common on my 8Ns because of condensation but I agree with you that that was most likely from being flooded, not condensation. Thanks for the video!
I’ll let it sit awhile and crack open the drain and see what I get. I’ve already priced out a gasket set that includes the lift seals. I’ll tackle that at some point. Hopefully the ch do valve starts working again, maybe the new fluid will help.
Please record that lift kit when you do. I need to do mine this summer as I only have about an inch of movement from top to full lift. Makes it hard to keep the bush hog where I need it. What year is it?
My rear hydraulics won't do anything at all (this happened in the past, but then started working for some reason). Could my issue be the pressure relief valve? How do I tell? If so, how do I fix it? Thanks!
Hey red wire. I have no 3pt lift and my filter is not full of oil. I opened the bolt that you can add a pressure gauge on and it spit a little out but nothing like I would imagine 3000 psi being. How do I know if it's the pump or the pressure relief valve? It's a 70s ford 3600 diesel and pump is from great Britain. Looks original. Any advice will be much appreciated.
Hello just had a question how do you fill differential and where do you check its level? Is it in the same place for the hydraulic's mentioned in the video?
You fill the differential right behind the seat slightly to the right on top. The level check for the differential is right behind your right foot with a square head. The transmission fill is next to the shifter and the square level check bolt is just in front of your right foot.
We are in desperate need to see a video on how to REPLACE the pick up hydraulic filter on a 1971Ford 2000 Tractor. All I can find is replacing hydraulic fluid. Tore the cover off, drained fluid, found the lower pick up filter full of all sort of crap. There is absolutely no clearance to pull it out between the floor of the compartment and the PTO shaft. Any help or experience with this would be very appreciated.
To my knowledge it just has that screen at the bottom and you just clean it and don’t replace it. I’ve never done mine. I’ll see if I can find any info in my service manual.
@@ChileExpatFamily I understand the concern but these never had top exhausts. They did however have mufflers with a type of spark arrestor with about 8 feet of pipe after the engine so the chances of sparks coming out were slim. But I did catch a hay field on fire with a car one time so the concern is definitely real.
What did the new-old tranny fluid look like after running it? You really must have slopped it around when revving for the hydraulics. Surprised you didn't run around the yard a few times to circulate the gears, or is slinging at idle going to seep in everywhere? That tractor is witness to Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Texas Flood" - ruclips.net/video/UtLwuPCUEdg/видео.html
I did run it around a bit, new old fluid looks decent, most of the milky fluid is gone. I think the next change will take care of it. May need 1 more after that. We will see.

Great Video MJM
Thanks!

Water will condense inside housing with changes in temp and humidity. Water will also get into system from gear shift levers. Pt boots on them.
I keep it covered, but Previous owner did not. I have a feeling it went through a flood though.
Few people took care of old tractors. They usually outlived the owners.

yes same place the rear housing they use the same fluid as hydraulics

I would move the muffler back to through the hood like it was originally. Looks better and prevents fires when cutting hay. Good fluid change.
I’m thinking this one was always out the back and someone swapped hoods.
The muffler is under the tractor on this model, not up through the hood. The tube in the front is the air intake. The back one is for fuel.
@@joshblick I always like the top exit so that when making hay it does not catch on fire under the tractor as you drive over wind rows. Jim

@@joshblick We had a Ford 3500 that had a top exhaust. I loved that tractor. It was so easy to fix and was a joy to drive. Wish I had it back. Jim

your tractor is bigger than mine. i have a B6000 kubota 2 cylinder 12 horsepower diesel.
Your Kubota is bigger than my farmall cub. It’s only 11hp.
MJM’s Workshop ... its super small tractor looks like a mini tractor/ riding mower.
That looks like a Ford 3000. Mine is a 2000 and I just watched a video on a 3000.
It's a 2000 according to the tag.
well there are 2 different models of 2000 one that looks like a 3000 and one that looks like a jubilee
This is the later 2000 model (65 - 75) I have one as well.
Ill be disapointed if you dont paint it. Lol
I may paint the sheet metal and the roll bar. I’m on the lookout for cheap used sheet metal. This one is pretty rough.
MJM’s Workshop yeah if the metals cheaper than fixing it why not get better stuff?
