Very nice, back in the 90's my dad restored my grandpas 6000 that he bought brand new in 1962
My friend Fred Ziffel has a Commander 6000 with the cab!
We had one of these on a farm I worked on in high school. It leaked every fluid you put in it.
Love those old Fords! They were excellent tractors! A pity Ford decided to get out of the Ag business.
Where did you guys get parts for it I bought one but I can’t find parts like shifting cable and assembly?
I'm looking for complete gasket set for a 242D. Do you have any suggestions?
My father in law restored his about 35 years ago. It was used often until a couple years ago. He is in a home now and we will be selling it unfortunately.
Being an old licensed Ag tech I did my apprenticeship in and worked in a ford dealership, in the early 80's. Did some minor work on the 6000's, but watched some of the more experienced techs get into transmissions. I was asked to bring in a 6000, it was at the very end of the yard I was a little puzzled when there were 2 techs watching me bring it in. I don't remember which gears I selected either 4th going to 5th or 5th going to 6th. When I selected the higher gear that tractor instantly went about 2 feet in reverse then launched forward. Well what are apprentices for. That job required the transmission to be tore completely down to replace a couple of O-rings. The other thing that was pointed out to me was the hydraulic accumulator, it stayed charged for quite a while and would lift the link arms as fast as you pulled the lift lever. A gas vs a diesel you will not need to replace the flywheel torque limiter with a gasser.
Loving Ford Commander 6000, very surprised on gas engine n front wheels weren’t row crop version. It would look nice clean up n restored because rarity.
How do you change belts up front.
Good luck with those oil leaks.
if you’re going to talk about it you need to also mention the issues with the transmission and why it was renamed to commander
I have one for parts near Dayton Ohio. Has a new crank, input shaft in transmission, new wiring harness, extra hood, rebuilt fuel pump set up 10%, and a bunch of extra seals and gaskets. Name your price and come and get it.
$100
@@mattlf9120 already sent it down the road.
Pretty uncommon tractor nowadays.

We have 2 of the 6000 in puerto rico.
Came with the farm.
Thats the worst tractor Ford ever made especially with the sos transmission. If it would have had the 8 speed transmission it probably would have done better.
You are correct.
Leave it original!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As much as possible
