Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. I am a 67 year old woman and I was able to replace my own water pump. I had no way to haul this monster tractor anywhere. The closest place is over an hour drive one way. I asked my neighbor to come over to help me wrestle off the front of the Ford 4000 because it has an extra steel extension on it, which makes it weigh a lot. But other than that, it was very do-able. It took me about 6 hours total, which I divided over 2 days. After consulting my blind husband who claimed I should leave the grease in there to "protect" the parts, I just cleaned the areas all around where the gasket for the back of the water pump was going. I wiped down most parts, but I did not use any type of de-greaser on it. I did use JD high temperature gasket sealer on both gaskets, though. Since I was not recording my efforts, I took notes as to the order of things and I put the bolts in labeled baggies to keep everything in order. My Ford 4000 was British made, so I used a 13mm, 15mm, and 17mm sockets for most bolts. The water pump took 1/2" and 9/16" sockets. It was a very interesting job and I was up and shredding for 4.5 hours the next day. I would not have even tried this if it were not for your fantastic inspirational video!!!! I was able to do my own repair for under $75. That included new hoses and an new fan belt. I thought about replacing the radiator, maybe at some point I will, since I only have to remove the air filter oil canister to get to it. I hope this encourages others to try to fix theirs, too.
My OCD was through the roof watching this as you didn't clean the surfaces of where the gaskets etc goes! Great opportunity to make the engine look new.
Thank you so much for these amazing videos. My grandfathers died years ago and with them went the wisdom and knowledge of tractors. We are finally starting out with a new to us old 3600. There's always something and we are learning as we go. Thanks for all you do and thanks for being a priceless resource!
Bartered for. Ford 6600 w/front end-loader which cane with ATI skid steer quick connect system. Tractor is running fine. Water in radiator looks good.. Planning to change out water pump,radiator hoses and fan belt. Then have radiator cleaned and repainted. That should cover the cooling system for a long while.. thanks for sharing
daniel juarez the loader is a pain in the butt to work around. It is not easy to get the radiator off working around the loader frame. Good luck! This winter I will be putting a new radiator on mine as well as water pump.
I needed carburetor work on mine and it had the same water pump problem. The mechanic doing the work took the loader off so he could get to everything. Took 30-40 minutes to get it off but saved a lot of time working on the water pump. And carburetor. And power steering. And ignition…
70' something, Ford 4500 Industrial bucket/Backhoe Combo. Water started pouring out the fans bearing/seal. Picked up a full replacement pump - fan, went in through the side you worked from & pulled the old pump off. Cleaned the mating surfaces - added some sealant for good measure & slapped the new pump in. Water still dumps out between the block & pump. Thought I had it licked. Looks like I'll be tearing it all down today with dad to get a better fitment between the two. I guess its possible I didn't tighten the 4 main bolts equally having the radiator & everything else in the way. No easy day when you don't do it the right way, as they say...
I am having the same problem with my Ford/New Holland 545D, I've replaced the water pump twice now with two new and from a different supplier for each water pump. Still leaks as I pouring the coolant/water into the radiator. i don't even need to start it before it leaks. What did you end up doing to get yours to stop leaking???
10:28 & 10:42 It's bad. Look at the edges of the impeller. They are shiny, indicating they have been rubbing on something. Now look at the back plate (to the left, with the radiator hose still connected). See that shiny area around the center hole? That's where the impeller has been rubbing. The bearing is bad, allowing the impeller to run against the back plate. That's the sound you were hearing earlier when you were turning it by hand.
Usually the old ones have a mixed set of wrong type bolts and also missing bolts anyway. With some common sense you can replace them with commercial bulk bolts and nuts. Also you can buy special bolts and nuts for the radiator bottom fixing. You also can use a soft rubber pad or buy new ones. The radiator should move freely inside the cowling.
Why are you not cleaning the surface area's before assembly,as this would lead to leak's and premature failure again,do it right the first time,I would also advise fixing the radiator bracket problem right away,to avoid problems later, nice video though,🔧👍
You are going to put that rotton radiator hose back. I would change all of the hoses and that terrible radiator needs to go to. Antifreeze is $12 a gallon at Walmart. It is worth paying for a new radiator and hoses. Who knows w gm at a new engine costs.

Yeah, I would have, but this winter I want to strip it down anyway, so this repair was just to get it back on the field.

THX from Germany. Your video was very useful for me
Just a quick tip, clean before you remove, make work go much smoother. Pressure washer makes things easy.
Thanks for the video. I just replaced mine today on a 68 2000. Took me about 3hrs of working time. You prepared me well.
I just replaced the pump on my 3600 a couple of days ago. It's wasn't too horrible. 😄

I have a Ford 3600 from 89 diesel. Love it.
some people have never heard of Milwaukee flex fuel 3/8 impacts.
Thanks! I have a 1310 that's slinging water out of the front so I think that I'm going to have to do the same thing.
I have a 3600. Hope to never have to change that. I’ve got a scoop bucket on it. Changing the belt was a 2 hour job. Love the videos!
Alec Johnson, Hi Alec, I’m planning on changing my soon. I have a similar set up.. What issues were you having with the loader??

The patience of Job, not flustered moment in view.
Love this ford 3000 video's! Have the same tractor and have done the waterpump myself recently. Keep up the good work!
Any advice on Brake Hub removal? That is my current project I’ve been stuck on one hub for days!

This dudes funny look like right bolts they'll fit anway haha
Great job and video.
I'm yelling at you on my computer screen.. .."get that damn radiator off!!!"
I know right! One wrong move and you buying a radiator.

Screws and bolts left over should leave it to pros hate when guys like that work on tractors its y they alwas are so rough down the road

The birds don't even care.
They must think up ways to make service jobs as inaccessible as possible so people require service tech
Distilled water is only $1 per gallon. No minerals like tap water, so no deposits in the cooling system.
Yea you did need to take it all out y they sent 2 gaskets
Maintenance...
Spider at 4:26 is cute.
Just if you fix your tractor make it better put all the stuff back on it
You dident need to take it out from what i see
