This the best how to fix video on you tube I have ever watched. No rediculus intro with weird music No talking about the dogs, weather and other personal event not related to the subject matter. It was a pleasure to learn more without the loud music and unrelated commentary Thank you for the help.
Bloody perfect! I just rebuilt my 1967 Ford 3000 Diesel engine and I put the clutch in with the pokey out side toward the engine, the same way it came out. Looks like that is backwards. It still works fine though. I had a Ford New Holland dealer put a new clutch in it when they were doing other work and split the tractor. For the engine rebuild I did all the disassembly and reassembly work myself saving a ton of cash. The problem with the the engine was the #1 cylinder had a broken ring at one time and wore the cylinder so much there was not enough compression to light up the fuel. It worked ok for a while but eventually it started wet stacking, unburned fuel being blown out of the exhaust causing a black goo to dribble out of the vertical exhaust joint. It started missing too so action was required. It runs great now with a .040 over bore, new pistons, rings and bearings. The bearings looked fine but while it was all apart I decided to install new ones just because.
I am impressed by how well she explains things and how comfortable she is in the shop. Her dad has done well . I have two of my own they are not as interested in the shop as she is. But I have tried to show them as much as I can wen they do show an interest in something I'm working on.
Young Lady , I'm so happy to hear you say "throw out bearing, yes mam , and not a clutch release bearing , another thing you stated the adjustment may have been out causing the problem .... but when some one...oh I'm not saying this is what happened , but when you have someone riding with their foot riding the clutch pedal the very same thing will happen ,I think you are great thanks for having a video's out like this one...Philippine John
When tightening down the pressure plate, lift just a little bit on the alignment tool. Everything is sagging a bit, and you want to counter that. Get the clutch disk adjusted so you can pull the alignment tool out with a couple of fingers. Good show, good clear communication, probably one of your best presentations so far.
I belong to a few tractor clubs on FB and I attach your video's to them having tractor problems as often as possible WOW ! great job as always all video's are clear, well said , simple, easy, straight to point, well informed . And they offer good tractor parts too...
Great job Rachel and dad. This is perfect timing. My 1975 4000 diesel has recently developed a clutch issue and the individual that said he could fix it keeps putting me off. Looks like I’m on my own. Keep up the really helpful videos.
Good job Gingel's family! I remember whend i was in Nashville and some times i need to fix some tractors. I am so glad to see you Rachel and dady again here! Huges from Brasil!!!! God bless you!!! See u!!!!
Another great video!!!! I was watching this one, and my dad started to watch it with me, and he said at the end of the video... "I now want to buy a clutch."... Mind you, he doesn't own a tractor, he was just that impressed with your channel and high class presentation of how you all make things look so possible and easy... Watch, something tells me, he will be a Hit & Miss engine show some time this summer and come home with a tractor now... LOL.... Good job, It really is neat to see my ole man get fired up to play in his shop.. keep the videos rolling..
We had a 3000 diesel for years. Really used it hard! 5,000 + hours when I sold it. Never had any clutch trouble. Those clutchs MUST be very durable. But of course time and age takes it toll on anything!
Love your videos, both for content and style. I surely wish that I had a local mechanic with the knowledge and skill of you and your dad. He must be very proud of you.
My tractor had more robust plates, ford 3400 which is the industrial version. Sent to Kentucky Clutch for rebuild, they did great!! Mine also required significant flywheel grinding.
Love this Girl She's a beautiful woman and so Very smart Mom and Dad Raised Her Well Teaching Great hands on information and Shes so very Well spoken in her Knoledge of Tractors ❤🇺🇲❤
A couple things the video doesn't mention, unless I missed it is clutch finger adjustment, or measuring runout on the flywheel. Also, if your going to go through the arduous task of splitting a tractor of this age it would probably be a good idea to replace the rear main seal too. Good video however thanks.
Thanks for the video! My 75 ford 3400 will basically pop a wheelie no matter how easily I let out on the clutch and trying to easily back up to an implement is super jerky. I imagine Im having the same issue your tractor was.
I like your videos very much, they are very helpful! Other videos I tried to watch Don't go near the level of good information that you do. I'm also interested in knowing if replacing two stage clutch on other tractors it's the same or different as this video shows!
we have diesel versions here in Norway. me and my dad just did a engine rebuild on mine. had some bad piston rings due to gunked up radiator so was overheated some times we think by the previous owner. I love my 3000.
Great video lots of good information. The coil springs are Cushion springs that cushion the engagement. You didn't mention the Marcel spring that fiber friction clutch discs have
Yes happy to see you back,where have you been young lady 👩 . Question while the tractor was apart why wouldn't you have cleaned the greasy inside of the housing. Stay safe & Stay totally Cute
Love the video. I am looking at FORDS here in Chile to purchase and rebuild and you will be my GO TO place for all my parts when I make it happen. God bless and thank you. Jim in Chile South America
before removing clutch pressure plate, measure the finger hieght of inner tips of fingers. Installing throw out bearing, push on the inner race of bearing and use the retainer spring on fork to bearing so keep the bearing form engageing when foot is off pedal. props to rest of video
I have a Ford 860 , 1956/1957 SN 101293 . I am the second own -- A very meticulous doctor owned it 1st - sometimes the stars align . It has the double clutch 5 speed -- would this video cover that +/- or completely different ? It works as it should but after driving it for the 20years I've owned it , seems as if the first clutch is going to need attention at some point soon . Thank you both for your work - I do enjoy the tutorials .
Where the clutch pedal rod connects to the clutch shaft where it goes into the tractor under the seat, mine is leaking. Have you done a video on replacing the seals on that issue? I love you videos.
18:49 a crane is a good choice; we used most times a hydro jack with wheels (idk the english word) underneath the oilpan with a wooden blanket between. And before splitting we hammer 2 wooden wedges on each side between the frontaxle and the chassis. So the whole front part could not swing left or right and it was quite easy to couple the tractor later. And yes it should do come together without using much force of any bolt.
My Grandpa and I own this very tractor. glad to see you putting out Ford 3000 videos. i used your Holley carburetor rebuild video . I'm still having trouble keeping the tractor started. any tips on how i can time it? i can't find a good video for timing a 3000
Thank you for your videos. If you have a lead on parts. Having difficulty finding rims for an 8N Ford none available where I live in NM. Great work on videos once again.
Couple of important things are make sure the surfaces on the reconditioned flywheel are very clean with no oil on them and when rejoining the front to the back make sure the front cannot tip forward (don't ask me how I know). Are you guys still pulling tractors?
When skimming flywheel as soon as you have engine gearbox together adjust clutch and turn engine by hand to see that clutch releases when in gear Some pressure plate covers had spacers when new
iv'e been watching you for years, although i got a Fordson super major ,this video gives me an idea of what i,m dealing with..Thank You!!! you make it seem to easy though ,, you need scraped knuckles and a few swear words lol in there.
So here we go, do you have a video of doing a clutch and breaks on a 1959-61 John Deere 60? I have one that I grabbed to restore that has been sitting in a field for the past 17+ years and I'm looking forward to having much fun with this beauty
Hello. Would you have a tip to reinstall the clutch spring on a ford 2000 ? It’s really hard to put it back as it was installed. Thank you for all your helpfull videos !
Nice point in the surfacing of the two surfaces to do them the same, however, I bet there is an actual measurement specification for them, as far as how far apart / close to each other they must be. For instance, what if someone took a lot down on one and not the other in a previous repair, now you are doing it again and dont know, and do it right, it will still be wrong because they are out of tolerance with each other due to the previous repair work. I am certain there is, or should be, a spec that says the surface of each must be with XXXXX of each other, or, measure a new unit to get that spec.
I have a question. You said the numbers would tell me the correct clutch but to break it down to see what clutch we need. Should we not install the correct one? What if the one that is in there is the wrong clutch and if we go with that clutch we would be installing the wrong clutch again.
Buenos días. Muchas gracias por compartir información valiosa y práctica. Yo tengo un tractor ford super dexta 3000. No encuentro como conectar el cable del tacometro y el termostato del agua donde va. Compre en ebay el que sugieren pero no me queda la tapa queda levantada. Gracias por su ayuda.
What should I do to correct a sticking clutch like, when I want to stop or engage the clutch it takes forever for it to engage. I can press the clutch peddle but it takes about 25 yards or so before it disengages. It seems like the clutch works fine it doesn’t slip or anything it just doesn’t want to stop.
This the best how to fix video on you tube I have ever watched. No rediculus intro with weird music
No talking about the dogs, weather and other personal event not related to the subject matter.

Thank you for the help.
I love how Rachel and her Dad are working as a team to explain the process for doing this.
When the world gets me down, I retreat to watching tractor repair videos. Something wholesome in these. God bless.
I have a 1993 ford 3930 tractor. Could u tell me what type of injector pump it has and where the transfer pump is located
I just found this channel and I freaking love it. This young lady is very knowledgeable and articulate in her videos.

So glad you are back with another video! Was getting worried that you had moved on. Keep up the great work!
Jesteście fantastyczną ekipą. Oglądam Was z przyjemnością.
I'm impressed you were able to complete the job in 24 minutes! You're hired!
...and after all that looking like You came directly from church... ;-)
Great job Dan and Rachel! Great team
When tightening down the pressure plate, lift just a little bit on the alignment tool. Everything is sagging a bit, and you want to counter that. Get the clutch disk adjusted so you can pull the alignment tool out with a couple of fingers. Good show, good clear communication, probably one of your best presentations so far.
I was thinking the same thing. If you have to pull it out and it has very much resistance it could be out of line and binding.
I belong to a few tractor clubs on FB and I attach your video's to them having tractor problems as often as possible WOW ! great job as always all video's are clear, well said , simple, easy, straight to point, well informed . And they offer good tractor parts too...
I'm thankful for you two and proud to have seen you continue with this over the years.

I wish you had a complete video series of repairs on the Howard Gem 2 wheel tractors. The best industrial-grade walk-behind tillers in the world.
One of the best channels I've come across,really informative and so well explained.
Cool video, it's good to note the difference in pressure plate assemblies...Coil spring and Diaphragm. 🤙🏽
Glad to see you all back. Thought you had run off and left us. Great job young lady and looks like you are having a great time working with your dad.
Love your videos, both for content and style. I surely wish that I had a local mechanic with the knowledge and skill of you and your dad. He must be very proud of you.
Thanks for the help and info, you and your dad are great!
Very good demonstration. I need to adjust my clutch(1973 2000 Diesel w/ FEL). Thanks, Rick
My tractor had more robust plates, ford 3400 which is the industrial version. Sent to Kentucky Clutch for rebuild, they did great!!
Mine also required significant flywheel grinding.
Thank you both for clear concise videos. I just bought a Ford 3930 and I am certain some of your videos will help me get it running.
Dan is a great guy! I really enjoy and appreciate your videos Rachel! Have a great week! Get that mustang out!!
The line up tool is your best friend when redoing a clutch.
Cool, love seeing you work with Dad.
Love this Girl She's a beautiful woman and so Very smart Mom and Dad Raised Her Well Teaching Great hands on information and Shes so very Well spoken in her Knoledge of Tractors ❤🇺🇲❤
Good video. Totally didn't know I had two clutch pedal positions for my 5900, which I don't feel with my current setup.
This channel deserves more subscribers.
Hi Rachel.
Great video as always.
You are teaching your dad well.
She is a sweetheart love her mechanical skills .
A couple things the video doesn't mention, unless I missed it is clutch finger adjustment, or measuring runout on the flywheel. Also, if your going to go through the arduous task of splitting a tractor of this age it would probably be a good idea to replace the rear main seal too. Good video however thanks.
Awesome tutorial, very informative.Thank you very much.
Great video, my 12 year old son and I are doing this same repair, along with replacing the rear main seal on a Ford 4000 SU.
Thanks for the video! My 75 ford 3400 will basically pop a wheelie no matter how easily I let out on the clutch and trying to easily back up to an implement is super jerky. I imagine Im having the same issue your tractor was.
Been missing your videos glad you are back
Great video. I definitely like the way you guys work as a team. Keep it up.
Thank you Rachel and Dan. I will order my single clutch kit for my MF 205-4 from your website.
This was a very informative video!! With the number of different tractors that you guys work on I'm surprised you don't have a tractor splitter dolly.
I like your videos very much, they are very helpful!
Other videos I tried to watch Don't go near the level of good information that you do.
I'm also interested in knowing if replacing two stage clutch on other tractors it's the same or different as this video shows!
Good work. Your a very good instructor.
we have diesel versions here in Norway. me and my dad just did a engine rebuild on mine. had some bad piston rings due to gunked up radiator so was overheated some times we think by the previous owner. I love my 3000.
Really enjoy your videos helps a lot. Take care and have a blessed day
wow. very helpful. i have a problem with my Ford 3000. im following from Nairobi -Kenya. im going to sort out the problem
Great video lots of good information. The coil springs are Cushion springs that cushion the engagement. You didn't mention the Marcel spring that fiber friction clutch discs have
Great video, as ever. Would be great to see the 2-stage clutch changed on your 35x, as and when that needs doing 😊
Yes happy to see you back,where have you been young lady 👩 . Question while the tractor was apart why wouldn't you have cleaned the greasy inside of the housing. Stay safe & Stay totally Cute
Very nice job Rachel
Great video, filmed well and explained very well.
Thanks for the time and effort putting video together.
10/10
Love the video. I am looking at FORDS here in Chile to purchase and rebuild and you will be my GO TO place for all my parts when I make it happen. God bless and thank you. Jim in Chile South America
This girl is a dream come true.
Very helpful, thanks Dan and Rachel.

I love your videos, keep them coming. I had a new clutch fitted in my John Deere 50 series and the guy who fitted it used a track.
Thank you for all your videos
So informative
Great help to us
God bless you all

We used to replace all 3 core plugs and cork gasket and crankshaft oil seal on all Ford 1000 series and 10 series
would be interested to see the tractor run before you started. Great video.
Great logical repair sequence. Thanks
Great work guys...from 🇮🇪 ireland..👍
Thank you for all your videos!
As usual, great job, fun to watch.
Where the clutch pedal rod connects to the clutch shaft where it goes into the tractor under the seat, mine is leaking. Have you done a video on replacing the seals on that issue? I love you videos.
I would like to know how to properly adjust the 3 bolts on the pressure plate fingers that ride on the release bearing. Very important. Thanks
Excellent video!! Love this channel very informative!! Thank you

Nice team work👍
How many hours would you think this job should take start to finish?
My Grandpa and I own this very tractor. glad to see you putting out Ford 3000 videos. i used your Holley carburetor rebuild video . I'm still having trouble keeping the tractor started. any tips on how i can time it? i can't find a good video for timing a 3000
Great video as usual!
Good job would this be the same on a mid seventies 135 massy with two stage clutch. Thanks.
Thank you for your videos. If you have a lead on parts. Having difficulty finding rims for an 8N Ford none available where I live in NM. Great work on videos once again.
Thank you for more lessons.Mike

Felicidades y gracias por sus conocimientos éxito.
Thank you very much for doing this video
What a cute small Ford tractor!!
Been waiting on this video for a long time. Thanks so much! Hopefully can order from you when I'm ready to replace mine.
For the Ford 2000 , just to replace the clutch, what is the approximate cost? (parts and labor)
When skimming flywheel as soon as you have engine gearbox together adjust clutch and turn engine by hand to see that clutch releases when in gear
Some pressure plate covers had spacers when new
Thank you Mrs.!
iv'e been watching you for years, although i got a Fordson super major ,this video gives me an idea of what i,m dealing with..Thank You!!! you make it seem to easy though ,, you need scraped knuckles and a few swear words lol in there.

After removing the plastic spacers did you have to adjust the three fingers? Thanks for the video.

Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. 🤠👍👍
Buenos días.
Muchas gracias por compartir información valiosa y práctica.
Yo tengo un tractor ford super dexta 3000.
No encuentro como conectar el cable del tacometro y el termostato del agua donde va.
Compre en ebay el que sugieren pero no me queda la tapa queda levantada.

Just a quick question
What makes a cluch jumpy, does it need an adjustment or is it somthing else?
Love your Videos. I need to replace the seal from the PTO spline on my Mccormick B-275, Any advice or video on this? Thanks
