What is it with diesels? Sometimes you can ignore them for 12 years and they'll fire right up. Other times you leave them overnight and you're buggered. Nice one. 👍
I really liked how you first took care of the engine like check oil and coolant and oil the valves, before starting it up. Other people fire it up first then check oil and coolant level.
I bought a 3000 that been sitting for years under a tree, was about as green as that, fired it up, changed oil and filter, drove it 3.5hrs home on road, faithful old things
Sound of 3000 engine brings back some good memories spent a many an hour back in the 70s driving theses delightful little tractors even hitched one up to a Ransomes TS90 plough all in all good little tractors.
As an armchair mechanic I can only say bloody good show your lordship . I love watching old relics of the past being brought back in to service by a bloke who knows what he's doing !!
Rescued a 3000 twenty years ago, had a Lambourn cab on it. Pulled like a school boy! It to had been stood for a good few years and started straight up. Good little tractors.
It was one of these that permanently damaged my hearing - Worst cab ever on any tractor I have driven, but, they were a redoubtable little workhorse that took over where the Dexta left off. After my hearing had been destroyed, then the boss bought a 4600 (a glorified Dexta!). It had the Sankey "Q" cab (bubble cab) and by comparison, was an absolute delight to drive. In those days (1975) we were bashing away for 16 hours a day, and ear defenders were only for wusses - if you could get them! My skinflint boss would never spend the money. Our 6600 was the tractor of choice for heavy work, but I'd moved on before the arrival of the TW-20.
I agree I've got a 4000 4610 and a 6810 all with more than 5k hours and have had no major problems, meanwhile my 2008 massey ferguson with less than 3000 has had loads of problems
great job! I like the way you do everything properly, building oil pressure etc and checking everything thoroughly. Too many idiots now just get a huge battery on and crank the hell out of it. Well done 👍
I wish this was in Michigan, usa - that is practically my IDEAL tractor right about now, only thing to make better would be a front loader! I was hoping to pick up one of these when I moved, but, home repairs killed the budget.... I can still dream, and hope for a great deal on one like this, if only I could afford it.... Wouldn't even mind the tires, it would be used for homesteading anyway...
Excellent video sir, it's a happy eager sound those little 3-pot engines make. Hopefully if it's fully restored it'll get to keep its cab too. Bring on episode 2!
That tractor brings back memories. I was involved in splitting one of these to get to the clutch , years ago while on an Agricultural Fitter’s training course years ago. It was quite pleasant to drive too.
When people talk about porous blocks there is more than one reason some went porous in the camshaft housing which meant the block was scrap some used to crack in the bore which meant you could liner them most of the porous blocks I found where on 4..4 size bores 4/5000 46/66/7600 very rarely a4..2 inch bore 2/3000 36/5600 they allways reckoned you left the water pump on when it was bored for liners another thing check length of water pump bolt make sure they did not bottom out putting pressure on no1 cylinder i think some areas of the country had harder water which caused more problems
I purchased a 4700 or 4600 (can't remember which ) for 100 nzd few years ago with an apparent buggered motor. Run like a clock after 12 years! Engine wasn't buggered, the seal in the front of injector pump was allowing fuel to get into crankcase being gravity feed, so when it sat for 2 weeks and I checked oil, the oil level was way over full giving symptoms of water in oil, previous ower was a dick head and falsely diagnosed it! Cost me 24 beers to repair pump! Best 100 I've ever spent. 3000s do it too.
What a very nice ford tractor 👌great projet all I have for my ferguson tvo is a link box and log splitter very useful we tractor cheers for sharing i love your creative videos specially on the old stuff
Ha classic , inside the block looked well clean for something stood 12 years. Those sounds remind me of trying to start my dads invariably air locked 550 digger!
That is brilliant Kurt it started better than some of my old Fords do when left over night. lucky the rain had not gone down the stack standing just inside without a flappy cap.
I started working on a david brown 880 about 4 years ago. Did a lot of part removal and now its sitting in the corner of the workshop acting as a shelf! 😣Watching this makes me want to resurrect the old davey again😁 thanks for the inspiration mucker👍
Never doubted it was gonna start unless it had broken rings or something really serious wrong 🤔 loved those 3 pot ford engines they could take a lot o hard graft 💪💪👍 looking forward to next installment 👍
I learned something new from this video, i never new some air filters have oil in them. If i had opened that id have thought the engine had leaked oil in their or something.
I've found that often the coolant evaporates after a while. When you cranked it it sounded like one cylinder was low on compression so you might check that all the valves are moving.
I checked they were all free when I oiled the top end. There's coolant in the rad, just below the top hose as I could feel it when squeezing the hose and after it ran you could see it leaking through a split in the hose.
Nice tractor, and i learned something, 3 cylinder. I seen when you took the rocker cover off . Six rockers, I'm like , my old cross flow engine in a Capri years ago eight rockers . That's when I realised ah!!! Three cylinder. Loved it when it fired up. Great video.
Love the 4-71, strangely enough 3 days ago I bought a 6-71 out of a Terex 72-51 loading shovel. Once I get it home and have got a bit further with both Fords, I'll do a vid on the Detroit.
Bore scope, that’s one tool ide still really like to get for peaking inside engines and transmissions. Bath is gonna do that old girl wonders. And a good set of R1s instead of them turf tires. Lol. You ain’t dying today sweetheart, not your time yet.
Hi Mucka. Great video. Nice to see proper preparation paid off. She did sound sweet. We had a 5000 about 40 years ago. Used her for a project turning her into a 360 tractor/backhoe which could also take a front end loader attachment. It was something special but never went into production. Later on put her back to tractor spec for the farm. Great memories.
Nice find that, from the tyres I'm going to guess it's had a fairly easy life mowing lawns or similar hence the low hours and lack of bad rust. Doesn't look to have seen any scraping or real mucky work.
That's great that it fired so easily and here I have a 2000 Ford 3 cylinder gasser that won't start at all below 40 F !! Good video with very good preliminary practices sir. Thanks for the upload.
Not actually sure that's the original seat. I thought they had FORD embossed on them. Anyways my Dad has a pre-force 3000 since 1980. Had 1 engine rebuild due to porosity in the block. All original bodywork too. Looked after these things will run forever really. To help against porosity use New Holland "Ambra Agriflu" coolant and distilled water. Worst part on them is the slightly heavy steering and garbage hydraulics. Good thing is the value has shot up in recent years. Worth decent money nowadays
@@LordMuck Yeah mine was the earlier one so wasn't sure. It fell apart years ago. They're absolutely impossible to get now, especially one as good as that one
I don’t know how much you want to spend on restoring the 3000 a few things I would do would be remove windscreen and front cab panels take off tank shroud which leaves fuel tank easy to take and have steamed out looking at the wiring loom it looks a bit rough where it goes over the tank over the year diesel spillage causes the loom t lose the insulation you can cheaply retape this and put it inside a piece of rubber hose which will stop it rubbing through and causing a fire the last thing while it’s apart remove the thin pressure pipe between the hydraulic pump and rear axle and alter the combined nut and olive on each end has this was a major problem with them when they used to blow out in the 70s and 80s usually the pump end it was awkward to change I made a special spanner from an old standard fordson plug spanner which was 15/16 af on one end and 5/8 ring on the other end it had a very deep crank on the spanner all the had to do was file out the 15/16 end to one inch and it was perfect to fit the nut with the tank in position all this work his mostly time cost but I think would be well worth it keep up the good videos and I hope this will be a help to you
We have a fordson diesel major with a front loader great workhorse. and a new performance major as well my dad restored a Ford 3000 for one of his customers year ago lovely tractor they are
Thats a nice find for it's age, just a shame the original grills gone. it's funny how sometimes a tractor that's sat that long fires right up but the next one that sat 3 years is junk. She's certainly got the 3 cylinder sound the odd thing is I've got a 1770 Belarus 4wd (1507 in UK) with a V6 turbo, It sounds like 2 3000's arguing when it's running L.O.L Those lucas DPA pumps aren't that hard to do I did the one on the old mans 750 Massey combine last year. It was leaking round the barrel to body O ring, just buy a good quality kit some of the pump vanes are crap in cheap ones. I've heard they break up and destroy the pump head. I just had to make sure the pump input shaft seal was the right one for the application, mine had 2 seals instead of 1. Not many use the Cosby reference, I'd hope you were better than the rest of us riff raff that watch Zip ties and bias plies L.O.L. That cat looks relieved there isn't any creme eggs around for once L.O.L. Thanks for the video so far, take care.
I really love these old fords! I know an old Massey 135 where the hour reader says 1378.8 but it's actually done 11378.8 hours! The gauge only goes up to 9999 hours on many old tractors so you can't always tell how many hours they have done. I really enjoyed this video so I subscribed as I can't wait to see it move, and furthermore be restored!
Condition of seat, pedals, plus knowing the original owner points to the tacho being right. It will be cleaned, gone through mechanically but don't be restored. Too many solid and honest tractors are ruined these days by being painted when it's not necessary.
@@LordMuck I've always tried to look for a nice tractor like this, one is decent condition so I can manage it but still need a a little bit of working doing to it. Not sure where to look for them though...
I enjoyed that far too much, great to see some of the older stuff, they have so much more character and personality than new machinery.looking forward to seeing her move
I have a 4000 English made with a cab that’s been sitting in the hedge for 10+ years nothing was wrong besides it was just worn out but your videos are cool to watch.
Awsome....like you said....clutch could be stuck, hopefully back end ok.....top dollar....loved it.....i thought she may Have been drained down....but im wrong......👌👌👍👍👍👍
Nice video and nice to see what you do before starting an old tractor. These old Ford tractors have a separate oil reservoir for the fuel pump. This is often overlooked, and they run dry, or the oil could be fifty years old so I would have checked that before firing it up. You might have been able to start it by using the excess fuel button that acts like a choke without using the starting fluid. This is located on the fuel pump. You could have ran it with the valve cover off to check the rockers because the correct procedure for adjusting these valves is while it is running. Just a few things I know from my 1967 Ford 3000 that needs an engine overhaul.
@@LordMuck I did see in your other video it was a CAV and not a Simms, so it would not have a cold start or require its own oil change like a Simms. However, the adjustment of the valves is confusing because the owners manual and the repair manual tell you different things, but both are correct for their purpose. The repair manual assumes you have done a valve job or replaced the valves. In that case, you adjust the valves using top dead center for each piston because you can't start the engine until the valve clearance is set. The owners manual tells you to check the clearance while the engine is running using a go and no go gauge and at operating temperature. This is way more convenient than checking for top dead center on each piston and allows the valves to be checked when the metal has expanded at normal operating temperature. Ideally, the repair manual would tell you to readjust after the engine was able to be started and warmed up, but that was left out of the repair manual. Obviously you only check for clearance with the engine running and turn the adjustment nut with the engine turned off. I tried to make the adjustment while it was running and I thought the vibration was going to break my wrist before I saw my mistake.
Nice little tractor hope your adding it to your collection? also need to go your oil sample on that be interesting to see what that came back like. Keep up the good work
Brilliant video Mucka ! Anyone who gives this a thumbs down is obviously too dumb or stupid to understand anything mechanical 👍
most deffo lol brain dead
@Callumc2020 Farming sim ps4 Looks like someone has triggered the little keyboard farmer. Go back to your computer games little boy.
Those are some good tractors, I knew she would fire up 👍🏻
You knew more than I did Tim 😂
Lord Muck and some people say Ford stands for; first on rubbish dump, this says otherwise !!!
Good job mucka!
"Bill Cosby party gas"

This one is special to me. My dad owned a 3000. We built gigantic rock walls and mowed with it. Thank you.
I bought a 3000 that been sitting for years under a tree, was about as green as that, fired it up, changed oil and filter, drove it 3.5hrs home on road, faithful old things
O boy! that sound as she cranked over and fired up.. throw back to the mid to late 80's at my Grandpa's farm.. 👍👍🇨🇦
Sound of 3000 engine brings back some good memories spent a many an hour back in the 70s driving theses delightful little tractors even hitched one up to a Ransomes TS90 plough all in all good little tractors.
The grin on your face when she fired said it all, nice one mate
Its a Ford...so yes. 4000hrs is decent. Well worth a restore.

You just can't keep a good ford down. I've got an old 4610 myself. These old tractors will probably out live the new ones.
Me too I have one and a 8n
I agree I've got a 4000 4610 and a 6810 all with more than 5k hours and have had no major problems, meanwhile my 2008 massey ferguson with less than 3000 has had loads of problems
Great little tractor. If I remember a little more horsepower than a Massey Ferguson 35 diesel. Sounds like it was just out of the showroom.
great job! I like the way you do everything properly, building oil pressure etc and checking everything thoroughly. Too many idiots now just get a huge battery on and crank the hell out of it. Well done 👍
Nice to see abit of care being taken rather than the usual chuck a jump pack at it then rev the tits off it. Sure will help the engine in the future.

Good going on taking a little care before starting it after so long. Here is another fine tractor to put to work again.
Nice work keeping everything out and firing it up. Sound like it has some real possibilities.
Nice little tractors those 3000s. Look forward to the next installment!
That tractor brings back memories. I was involved in splitting one of these to get to the clutch , years ago while on an Agricultural Fitter’s training course years ago. It was quite pleasant to drive too.
What at a f-cking great video.. when it was trying to start I was shouting come on girl .. can’t wait for the other videos on the old 3000👍👍
Well I had my doubts but your experience and the old girl proved me wrong , nice to see 3000 start .

Not sure of it was ur intention but great video showing how to first run a stored tractor. 2 fords in the workshop. Yep that sounds about right😅
I'm about to start the cab cladding on the 8100 but have some stuff on order I'm waiting for so thought I would do a Stored/Start vid.

I learned something new from this video, i never new some air filters have oil in them. If i had opened that id have thought the engine had leaked oil in their or something.
I literally have the same project around the corner but it's been sitting for 20 years.
Love it! There are some old bits of kit that just want 'another go'. Another old machine saved from the wrecker!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
Oh course it will, it's a Ford.
I've found that often the coolant evaporates after a while. When you cranked it it sounded like one cylinder was low on compression so you might check that all the valves are moving.

Absolute brilliant video mucka love vids like this one , love the blue tractors shame I drive a Massey 😂👍👍
Just started my ford 4000 after 5 years sitting outside,she runs well, just need to get the front end loader working and new generator...
what no laptop no big bill just a bit of machanical knowledge. good stuff.
Mate, what a lil beauty! Love it. How do you find these gems! Brilliant. The tyres have held very well indeed.
That was a very sensible approach Kurt - very good indeed. Looking forward to the follow up videos.
Ohhhh that noise from the swinging to the tic over that's heaven on earth... missing them day's..

Not actually sure that's the original seat. I thought they had FORD embossed on them. Anyways my Dad has a pre-force 3000 since 1980. Had 1 engine rebuild due to porosity in the block. All original bodywork too. Looked after these things will run forever really. To help against porosity use New Holland "Ambra Agriflu" coolant and distilled water. Worst part on them is the slightly heavy steering and garbage hydraulics. Good thing is the value has shot up in recent years. Worth decent money nowadays
Yes it's the original seat, some of the earlier ones had Ford on them but later ones didn't.
@@LordMuck Yeah mine was the earlier one so wasn't sure. It fell apart years ago. They're absolutely impossible to get now, especially one as good as that one

I reckon you are on to a winner here. I like this tractor
Thats a nice find for it's age, just a shame the original grills gone. it's funny how sometimes a tractor that's sat that long fires right up but the next one that sat 3 years is junk.

Those lucas DPA pumps aren't that hard to do I did the one on the old mans 750 Massey combine last year. It was leaking round the barrel to body O ring, just buy a good quality kit some of the pump vanes are crap in cheap ones. I've heard they break up and destroy the pump head. I just had to make sure the pump input shaft seal was the right one for the application, mine had 2 seals instead of 1.

We've got a couple of original grills back at the other yard so one of them should fit right in.
Can't really argue with that! She's not in bad nick, especially the cab.
OK, so 1. Why have I only just randomly found your channel? and 2. Why am I obsessed with this already?! 😘
Bill Cosby party gas Lmmfao that's hilarious! Awesome job getting that old Ford running
Good man Kurt, you are no joke, top marks for preparation:):)

watching ur vlog mucka braught back memorys off my late father we had a Ford son major it wldnt start without sme easystar .good work man
We've got an old 5000 bit of easy start she'll go no problem

In that case, you adjust the valves using top dead center for each piston because you can't start the engine until the valve clearance is set. The owners manual tells you to check the clearance while the engine is running using a go and no go gauge and at operating temperature. This is way more convenient than checking for top dead center on each piston and allows the valves to be checked when the metal has expanded at normal operating temperature. Ideally, the repair manual would tell you to readjust after the engine was able to be started and warmed up, but that was left out of the repair manual. Obviously you only check for clearance with the engine running and turn the adjustment nut with the engine turned off. I tried to make the adjustment while it was running and I thought the vibration was going to break my wrist before I saw my mistake.
Don't mess about checking stuff with it running. It's a 3 cyl not a V-24 so it's not going to take long to get them to TDC and check them.
