Rachel...as a former tank mechanic in the British Army, and having always wanted an old tractor, you have inspired me to buy one. Your mechanical abilities and instructional qualities are sublime. Your are charismatic, eloquent, determined and strong. A dream to watch.
I don't even own a tractor but I watch Rachel's videos every night she's brilliant! I do own a model A Ford sedan so the engine on an early 8n are about the same. Absolutely Awesome videos!
As a lifelong mechanic and service specialist on boats and cars, I was always surprised how few women took to being experienced in auto or boat repair, but lately the tides have turned and Ive met lots of women in the field, who often are better techs or more meticulous than most of the guys I’ve known over the years, and the trend should continue, especially on UA-cam with all the female racers, mechanics, and techs...Rachel you’re an inspiration to young women everywhere for your attention to detail and your great mind for products and services in multiple fields, Dan you must be one proud dad, cheers y’all your videos are excellent!
How do you know that she's an inspiration to young women everywhere? Have you talked to young women everywhere? Just curious as to why you would say that.
Never use the battery as a “tool tray”. Sooner than later you lay something on there and cause a arc. I liked the video so much I purchased a new set of injectors, seals and a filter housing. Great job Rachael!
Good ole1970's Ford diesels Very underrated in my opinion. Wonderful that you are showing how to repair them and offering parts. Lots of them around. With a little TLC. Have tons more life left in them. Thanks Gingells!!👍
I’m a certified welder by trade and also teach my trade on a professional level. I as well work on my own tractors, backhoes, etc. Rachel you are absolutely stunning with your knowledge and professionalism on what you are presenting and teaching. Great job on what you do!
I was raised on a farm and we operated most of the tractors Rachel works on. Today I'm a dentist and I certainly wish Rachel taught dental continuing education...I would certainly stay awake for that. She's so well trained and articulate. I can tell that her vocabulary is the language of tractor mechanics. I like all things mechanical from grandfather clocks to high power rockets and I love her tractor talk. Dr. Mark Carr

Rachel, just wanted to say Thank you. I'm new to tractors and have a old ford 3000, after watching this video I was able to replace my worn out fuel injectors, with no problem. FYI I ordered them from your website, super fast shipping parts fit perfectly. Thanks
Another awesome video. Small engine repair is my main hobby job. But, I love learning about larger equipment. Thank for the effort and time that you put into explaining it to us.
had a 3000 on the farm as a kid,it was a bugger to start.glowing,cold start button and crank away for a good 10-15 seconds then it came to life in grey diesel smoke.hence the long big battery. my grandad used the battery as a working table.with the old style battery with outside couplers between each cell. a wrench got some welding marks is all I need to say xD. it was a strong little tractor with 3 litre ,3 cyl. 65horses i think.
Another great presentation Rachel. You seem to know every bolt ..nut and quirky thing needed to know to be a top mechanic. I was taught by my father and his passion for fixing things even clocks. Thanks
As always another Great Dan / Rachel well informed tractor video. I hope as myself people buy the parts you use and found to be good that work on these tractors and also that you offer for sale to help pay for these must have video's? I learn buy doing and watching...
You are a one of a kind woman Rachel. Excellent narrative on all your videos . It really impresses me that you are not scared to get your hands dirty . I was a diesel, tractor tech for years Started out working on Diesels and farm equipment the day after I graduated from high school Had a great mentor,you are great. LOve all your videos. Sure Would like to meet you one day. Keep wrenching. Rachel
However (comma) I would recommend spraying into a clear jar (a clean peanut butter jar will do) rather than allowing the spray to just flow uncollected. My tester is bench mounted and the injector mount is at the front.
When you replace the banjo bolt, first turn the loose bolt upside down and slip one of those sealing washers on it. Then insert the bolt through the fuel fitting. Then slip the other washer on and screw in the bolt. Makes it easier to keep up with your washers. It's also a great idea to lay a big white rag down on the head first to try to catch any dropped washers. They can hide real good. I also found that the plastic/nylon drain bolt in the bottom of the filter housing (my housing bottom is metal, not glass), can get stuck and impossible to remove without breaking. I actually had to drill mine out. But there is such a thing as a steel bolt for marine applications, which you will probably have to order from Europe. But it's worth it.
Thanks a lot! My injectors are still excellent on my 3055 (between 3000-4000, european model with modified 3000 engine and 4000 transmission and rear axle), but if ever something is wrong on my injectors, I know what to do!
Rachel ! So glad to find you. I’ve inherited Dad’s 1710 Ford tractor. The hood is bent/tweaked and must be removed to straighten. Is there any way you have a video or directions, pros and cons, or “look out for this before attempting ?” My manual says n o t h I n g …
I have a British built 1968 Ford 5000. It has the larger Diesel engine but runs ok. Any videos on replacing head gasket on a Massey Ferguson Perkins 3 cyl diesel engine? I have been reading your articles in the farming magazine didn’t know you had a UA-cam channel.
Love your knowledge of these machines! Have you thought about doing a video (maybe you already have?!) for those of us who want to get into vintage tractors? Good models/brands to start with? Some gearheads need new outlets for tinkering, and I just acquired a bunch of Snap On tools in fractional sizes (all my cars are metric)! Thanks!
Rachel, I was wondering you were very specific about when you rebuild a injector to put the new tip on under fuel, then you pressure tested the injector and blew out the fuel, are new injectors shipped with fuel or was only to test the rebuilt injector ?
Hello, I have a ford 3400 and my tractor starts really easy but smokes a lot in the beginning. it is mostly white smoke and smells like fuel. The smoke somewhat clears up once the tractor is warm and is being used but returns if I leave the tractor running at idle speeds. Any idea what might be the issue? If its injector pump related, does this tutorial apply to Ford 3400? thanks in advance!
I have a Ford 4000 select o speed. I have diesel pouring out the filter on the side of the head. I know nothing about tractors. I love this tractor and its power. Could I get you to fix it, maybe injectors or rebuild and fix my pto so it wont be running all the time.
Hey Rachel - thanks for the great tutorial. I'm getting diesel in the crankcase of my 70's FORD 5000 Row Crop. I've heard to suspect Injector Pump Seal, Fuel Pump or Injectors. Do you have instruction on replacing the front seal on the injector pump?
I was donated a ford 3000 (1968) Im a new sub,..find your videos to be very well done. do you have a video on rebuilding a 3000 engine ,.. this engine I have was overheated and is seized ,..can use as much help as I can ,..thank you Blessings
Nice tutorial. i would have purchased some injection parts from you for my Ford 3000 but im far away. Nairobi -Kenya. but thanks the tutorials are equally helpful..whats the pressure on the injector nozzle
Oh yeah, that injector is bjorked. Would have been nice to see/hear the start and run before the injector was pulled. Then again that is quite a bit of fuel to be dumping in. At some point you risk hydraulicing the cylinder. Nice to see you guys expanding your product offerings.
My Ford 4000 loses fuel prime if it sets for a week or so. Eventually I can get it going by repriming it, but it loses its prime after about an hour of operation. Then I have to start all over again. There seems to be air getting in somewhere because when I open the screw on the injector pump there is some air in the fule there and when I pump the reprime pump below the injector pump there is air there. Of course there is no fuel at the injectors on the head themselves until I get the air out of the system thru the button pump. Just before the engine quits it accelerates like it got a rick mixture or some more fuel and then it starts sputtering. Ideas?
The fuel both lubricates and cools the fuel system. You don't want the injectors trying to work dry and unlubricated the whole time you're trying to bleed the system and get fuel to the injectors. I suspect ATF would work better than fuel for assembly.
I have an older Ford 555 backhoe with fuel problems. Do you have a video of a fuel pump repair that would be comparable to my diesel 3 cy? The tractor has a plate inside the wheel well with numbers stamped on it. Series 19-803, serial number CB 35283. Thank you.
I miss a video where you show how to remove and install a Simms fuel injection pump on a Ford 5000 (1965). (I'm not going to do any work on the pump. I just need to remove it so I can take it to a workshop). - Or do anyone know if a video exists somewhere else?
I love these tutorial videos, but the one thing that really gets me is when people automatically think people know what there talking about when they use these profession words, like wet stacking, it's already a tutorial video, so that in itself means that most watching dont know how to do these things as it is much less the lingo with certain professions, if the point is to teach then teach like the ones watching no very little and it will be so much more educational and will inform a wide range of people
@@agems56 not really, if your doing a tutorial video, using professional terms and not explaining what thise professional terms mean leave many wonder what that is, that's the point of a tutorial video is to teach step by step what the item your working on and why, why else watch it, good teachers understand that, that's why there teaching, they dont drop a 15 letter word and expect you to know what that is automatically, it's easy to forget your teaching and not to revert to pro lingo, if you knew what she was referring to great I didnt , that's why i watched it, cause I didnt know and still dont, what that one thing she said means
Look up the term you dont know and go back and watch again. Like reading anything, if I come across something I dont understand I have to break it down, research to understand it. Her 13 minute video is excellent, could easily be an hour if she explains banjo bolt, etc, etc.
I had a 5000 with a full cab and doors with a back glass. The only one I've seen. Wished I'd never sold it. How many where there and was it an after market thing or was it factory. I still have the doors and back glass

Wow! One of the best tutorials I've seen. I have a '67 4000 and this is on my list. Thank you.
Very timely! I am just about to replace my injectors but have never done it before. Looks like something even I can handle. Thanks much Rachel!

Rachel...i worked 40 yrs in the diesel field...always use anti- seize on them there injectors....great video...
Amen 🙏
You're like a tractor physicist. You're not reading a script. You understand what you are doing.
Your great videos have helped me a few times already with a 50 year old inherited neglected Ford 3000. Thank you!
I'm sure Dad is very proud. Great job Rachel!!

Great job Rachel, keep up your awesome videos; thanks for uploading and sharing. Wish you success.
great video ,i like the way you described the actual injector spay pattern and the pop-off pressure,
However (comma) I would recommend spraying into a clear jar (a clean peanut butter jar will do) rather than allowing the spray to just flow uncollected. My tester is bench mounted and the injector mount is at the front.
Fantastic video. Very much appreciated. Hope parts business is going well for you. I'm all the way in Ireland so I might have go local for the parts 😅
Very informative, excellent presentation and tutorial! Great job Rachel.
Nice 5200. I always loved those shift knobs, they’re super sleek and shiny. The weight on them also helps easier shifts.
Spoke too soon. All made sense. Great vidio. Love to see rebuild of inj. Pump on 3600. Thank you!
Fair play to that girl!,a credit to her,she knows her stuff!❤🥰🚜🔧🔩⚙🗜🥇🏆👍👏
Thanks, Rachel! Now I know where to order my parts next time!
What an angel. I've never learned anything so fast in my life.

It begins with your injector problem.
Do you have something video for the pump restoration of the same tractor not carburetors .hello from Greece you are gorgeous
Nice tutorial. i would have purchased some injection parts from you for my Ford 3000 but im far away. Nairobi -Kenya. but thanks the tutorials are equally helpful..whats the pressure on the injector nozzle

These year Ford's excellent machines. I add some motor oil to fuel on older diesel engine s.
Hi Rachel... Why you say at 4:51 "the valve does not installed dry"? What will be the problem if you install the valve dry?
The fuel both lubricates and cools the fuel system. You don't want the injectors trying to work dry and unlubricated the whole time you're trying to bleed the system and get fuel to the injectors. I suspect ATF would work better than fuel for assembly.

When are we going to see videos for the Ford 6000 series?
That's what i'm waiting for
Wow!! Thank you soo much.. This was so helpful..
Where would one acquire a test stand for the injectors like you used here in the video?
I have an Ertl Ford 5000. Im a john deere guy, but the 5000s are cool.

Cleaning the crud off the top of the engine would probable be a good start before removing anything.
That is not the farmer way 😂
