I love those old fords I've been looking at them for the farm for a couple years had an opportunity to get a real nice one from a friend and didn't been kicking myself ever since for letting it go great video
Yes deer flies were a real nuisance. I'd watch them gather round the intake breather cap. Frankly I appreciated the oil bath catching them as that made life a little less miserable with them dead.
Are sure there's not a metal mesh filter above the oil bath you take out and clean, I got one on my 444 international the mesh screen is a pain in the ass to clean I have set it on fire to clean it.
So in The midle you have The transmision oil check, în The Back where The 2 screws are and you showed to check level on The top screw, what oil it is there? Hydra or transmision?
hey farmboy. I just got me a 1974 des/ford 4000.. I noticed I have a little leak on left brake rod seal that goes in the rear end and I wanted to add some fluid but I was wondering what kind of fluid does trans and rearend takes... hyd oil or gear oil ?? need your help asap... thanks
Thanks for the video. I recently acquired my first tractor and I'm trying to find a video about it (earlier model 2000 with the cartridge filter). I noticed yours has only one fuel filter where mine seems to have two. How often should those be changed?
Depends on the cleanliness of the fuel you're using. I always keep a filter on hand but don't change it until it starts showing signs of clogging. Usually the tractor will start surging when it needs changing. Some people recommend changing yearly when you change the oil.
One will be a particulate only filter the other is a water separator. Change them at the same time and beware of cheap quality o-rings that come with cheap filters. I would recommend changing at the same time as the oil filter. -Long time ford tractor dealership mechanic.
Diesel head Yes, it's engine oil. I like to use non-detergent 30 weight oil but you can use regular engine oil like 10W30. Don't use a heavy oil like gear oil though.
The injectors need to be bled to remove any air. Loosen the injector fuel lines and crank it over. There should be fuel leaking from the lines. Once you see fuel, tighten down on the lines and try to crank it. If you aren't getting any fuel, then I'd suspect the injection pump or fuel supply to the injection pump. Hope this helps.
I can't comment on the 2000 series as I've never had one, but the 3 cylinder diesel has been very dependable. The only issue we've had is the fuel injector pump has been rebuilt at least twice on it.
have what i believe is a 68 year model. wanted to ask if you happen to know where to get the tall power steering filter for theses with a divorced reservoir? ive been looking for about 3 hrs and cant find it only the pancake style filter for the integrated reservoir.
Thanks for the reply, I don't know if its a older design kind of thing or if it was an optional thing. All I know is I cant find what the filter is and I hate to pull the top off without having replacement O rings. I asked on a few tractor forums and get told I need the taller filter but no one can tell me where to buy it, or what the part number is. I think this weekend I am just going to have to stop at the tractor lot where I bought this one from and see if their parts department has the proper part for it or can atleast get it.
+farmboy30117, I hit up napa today after work, no luck there, found a wix cross over for the original ford number but Wix currently isn't making it. Only other option is to hit up the Ford/New Holland dealership where the tractor was bought from for a few to stock up on. I'm in the same boat I don't know how old they are, the dual fuel filter/water seperators had Ford filters on it. Last time I checked they haven't been made in over 15 years by Ford. Wouldn't be surprised if they were originals from 1968 along with the power steering filter.
Yes. The hydraulic fluid fill port should be on top of the rear axle near the seat and (if you have the 8 spd transmission) it is near the gear shifter. There are 2 small plugs (square head) on the right side of the transmission (one midway of the transmission housing and the other just beyond the transmission/rear housing flange) that you remove and fill until oil comes out.
OK thanks, I found them in the end! There is a problem with the bucket not lifting/hydraulics not working. What do you think is the most likely cause? I thought either the pump or the seals, but I'm not sure which seals to check. I can't find much on Google.
I've never had to work on the hydraulic system of our tractors but I would recommend getting a good repair manual. I found a reproduction factory manual on eBay that covers '65-'75 models 2000, 3000, 4000, and more. The only issue I have with it are the pictures. When reproduced, the pictures are very dark and it's hard to see exactly what they are showing. I looked through it for you, but there are so many variables it would be impossible to diagnose over the internet. One place I'd look first is if yours has a little lever on the right side housing under the lift control. This is a selector switch and if it's in the wrong position the hydraulics won't work. It should be near a round knob (flow control). I believe the switch should be in the up position. Hope this helps.
the hydraulics is pretty much easy to repair if i remember corect. On the 4000 the rear axle oil and hydraulic is al te same. So just lift of the hydraulic block under the seat and put out the plunger and replace the seal. But you should check the pressure of the oil pump before. greetings from germany
Thank you so much and congratulation for your video! It's very clear.This oil filter it's the only one for de force system ? What I'm try so ask you is: My ford3000 don't have force to raise the crane up with load like it had before (only sometimes), and I'm suspecting that the problem could be with this filter clogged up (that you have showed). Can you give me you opinion, mister? Have you another suggests for solve the problem? Can we have other filter for the oil force system? Thank you.(antunes.luis@gmail.com / From Portugal)

Please make more Ford tractor videos! You’re so helpful.
Thanks, if I make any new tractor repair videos, it'll most likely be on my other channel Farmboy's Garage.
Great video and will use it to service my own Ford 3000 tractor. The guy doing the video is real down to earth - the real deal!
Thanks!
Hi Jay, you sure did an awesome job changing the oil and servicing the tractor. I like that tractor, seems like a good tractor. Nice video. Pete
Thanks Pete, it's getting a bit tired but still runs good
great tractor we have a 1969 ford 3000 gas great condition also great video
I've never seen one but I haven't disassembled it either. I'll look into that.
It's been a good one!
Nice Ford! i want a 63/64 model 4000!
You're welcome!
i have a ford 2000 gas tractor thanks for the video
Thank you have a ford 3000 1969 myself! So it could be godd to change that
Thanks!
you should also look ar change this oil filter inside the hydraulic steering pump. ou can see it when pull away the steering pump cap
Had a farm with a 3000. Cleaned the air cleaner ever year. Usually full of deer flies.
Wow, sounds like y'all had a big problem with deer flies! This one was mostly full of dust, but it hadn't been cleaned in God knows how long ;)
Yes deer flies were a real nuisance. I'd watch them gather round the intake breather cap. Frankly I appreciated the oil bath catching them as that made life a little less miserable with them dead.
LOL, I have seen them doing that to ours too. Yeah, those dang things hurt when they bite!
the Air cleaner Cup is not as bad as my 64 Cubs i had to clean it with Gas! has compost in it just about!
Are sure there's not a metal mesh filter above the oil bath you take out and clean, I got one on my 444 international the mesh screen is a pain in the ass to clean I have set it on fire to clean it.
Hey! Your seat looks just like mine! Had my horse been over there gnawing on yours too? Thanks for the video!
I have the same 1974 Ford 3000 diesel butt whit a cab and frontloader
That'd be nice :)
Wich oil did you use for the oil bath? I saw you used two different kinds of oil? Thanks for answears
Grimm Pedersen 30 weight motor oil
I've got a '69 3000.. I'll be looking to freshen up the cylinders pretty soon. Do you know the overhead set procedure? Keep up the good work!
I don't, but you can still buy factory repair manuals (reprinted of course) off eBay.
So in The midle you have The transmision oil check, în The Back where The 2 screws are and you showed to check level on The top screw, what oil it is there? Hydra or transmision?
The rear diff section supplies hydraulic oil to the lift system. On this tractor, both hydraulic and transmission oils are the same type of oil.
@@farmboy30117 thank you so much
hey farmboy. I just got me a 1974 des/ford 4000.. I noticed I have a little leak on left brake rod seal that goes in the rear end and I wanted to add some fluid but I was wondering what kind of fluid does trans and rearend takes... hyd oil or gear oil ?? need your help asap... thanks
+badnissan hrdbdy It uses hydraulic oil or sometimes called tractor fluid. It goes in the rear and in the transmission.

So you think you could do a walk-around of this tractor if you get time?
Sure
I have a 1979 model Ford 340. How different is the Ford 3000 from the industrial Ford 340 tractor.
I'm not familiar with the industrial tractors, but I imagine they are similar.
i live in ireland what is motor oil is it engine oil ? great video!
Diesel head Yes, it's engine oil. I like to use non-detergent 30 weight oil but you can use regular engine oil like 10W30. Don't use a heavy oil like gear oil though.
Porque no sube gasolina al carburador
well sir you knw what your doing... I have a question I jus bought a ebro 350 would u knw where the hydraulic filter is if u dnt mind
Thanks, I'm not familiar with an ebro. Sorry
I have a 74 3000 diesel as well you used rotella 15-40 right? I just wanted to be sure
Yes, I prefer Rotella, but any good diesel motor oil will work.
I inherited the same tractor from my dad... having a hard time getting it started.. it turns over but never starts. Any tips on what to check?
The injectors need to be bled to remove any air. Loosen the injector fuel lines and crank it over. There should be fuel leaking from the lines. Once you see fuel, tighten down on the lines and try to crank it. If you aren't getting any fuel, then I'd suspect the injection pump or fuel supply to the injection pump. Hope this helps.
A clogged up fuel filter kept mine from starting in the past. Disconnect the fuel line that goes out to the pump and see if there is a good flow.
hi I have Ford 3600 model year 1979 but my tractor in machenical stirring can it made Power stirring please reply
It can be, the kits cost $450 US and up. Not sure what it would cost in your country.
farmboy30117 horse 🏇 power of f 3000
What weight oil unfiltered?
I just used the same oil as in the motor 15W-40
are these 3cyl better than the older 4cyl 2000 series?
I can't comment on the 2000 series as I've never had one, but the 3 cylinder diesel has been very dependable. The only issue we've had is the fuel injector pump has been rebuilt at least twice on it.

Hope you can find one. I need to change the PS filter in our old 3000. It's original as far as I know.

I've just got a Ford 4000. The gearbox and hydraulic fluid is the same isn't it? But where do I fill this up?
Yes. The hydraulic fluid fill port should be on top of the rear axle near the seat and (if you have the 8 spd transmission) it is near the gear shifter.
