These are the best tractors you are ever going to own. You can will them to your next of kin and they will last through their lifetime too.

Hi! Great video. I need help with the schematics as well. Anyway you can make a link to it? Thank you very much!!

Ford 3000 is a very good tractor Does it have live PTO? I enjoyed your video.

Run 87 octane fuel in the 3000. Had one that did the same just stop thing. It was vapor locking, also put a electronic ignition in it

I'm actually planning to import a Japanese camper, for now however; I will be building out a cargo trailer, ill be saving up after to import either a bus or a smaller Japanese motorhome, i just like the design more. Compared to what is found in the US.

ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE !!! DATED INTERIOR NOT MODERN AND UNCOMFORATBLE. CHECK OUT THE 200 SERIES TOYOTA CAMROADS IN COMPARISION

RV LAND IBARAKI DOES THE CONVERSIONS..

i got 732 bobcat with ford engine starter its not right one its has a spacer 1/2 inch nuts what kind of starter you are using in your bobcat thanks paul

i have 732 bobcat with ford engine they say ford use pinto engine my starter fail and someone before me install starter but he had 1/2 inch thick nut as a spacer and water get in starter nose of this starter is 2 1/2 long would you know what starter you have in your bobcat thanks paul

When will the next video be released?

There is also the possibility that there is a door opening button under the body near the door.

I’ve got a 135 massey Ferguson diesel and a 4600 ford diesel. One point I want to point out about your trans/hydraulic fluid. On my 4600 they do take the same fluids, but, are actually 2 different reservoirs. There is a seal between them. To check the hyd fluid, which comes from the rear diff, you have to unscrew a plug down beside the diff lock pedal, and pour fluid in the plug behind the seat until it runs out of the hole

Nice video man -- cool to see how you did it right before digging into my own

@savvysprocket We are so happy to see one of our imports in the wild. Thank you again for your business and we are happy to see you enjoying this wonderful rig. We will be following your channel for sure and we are excited to see what you will be doing to rig in the future.

Thanks for sharing this!

Low voltage alarm is annoying

I have a 1988 4610 diesel

How long does it take to coast up to 60mph (100kph?)? And how comfortable is it coasting at 65-70mph? Fuel economy?

Where can I get the wiring diagram?

Wow, how much did it cost all

Those ford tractors are like the older 8ns, workmaster series, when they run they run great with very little problems but when they get a problem it's usually a nightmare to figure out

Beautiful! What kind of mpg do you get?? Thanks Nicky.

Loved seeing this at Japanese car day at Larz. I was the one who gave the Polaroid to you guys lol, seemed like a good vehicle to use up a photo on.

Those Ford tractors were legendary reliable. Especially the 3000 unit. Like most of the tractors in that range of power (35hp to 45hp). We are talking about 50 years old tractors here. I own a 1967 Selectamatic David Brown 880. All restored. It was built like a tank for a 43hp tractor. But I won't get thru another restoration again. Not because it doesn't worth it. Mostly because even if those are simple mechanic machines, it's hard to find people to fix them.

Does that 3000 have power steering? I have a 3000 and the power steering cylinder is in a weird place that binds with the steering arm. Everywhere I look the cylinder should be in another place. Just wondering where other years have it.

Have you re geared yours for higher speeds, want to get one but getting to the west coast from Midwest isn’t fun at 68 mph (110 kmh)

The 3000 runs then quits and after it cools down it runs again? Sounds like a classic ignition coil going bad. First place I'd start

Hope to see more of this!

Hey buddy I was just checking to see if you guys might want to get rid of that 4610 let me know I might be interested in it thank you very much

From your description on the wiring issue, honestly, replace the distributor cap, points and condenser. As for the starter, replace the bendix drive, those are easily done. Many will tell you to replace the points and condenser and go with electronic ignition, with today's "quality", wasting money on doing so. I had a Ford 881 SoS, had a similar issue, get warmed up and ran solid for an hr or 2 then just quit. Had to do some digging and the cap was cracked internally. Couldn't see the crack until it was hot. Fords were always a solid tractor. If these 2 tractors have been sitting for a while like you said, just go ahead and service them now, fresh fluids goes a long ways, specially when diagnosing issues. The hydraulics, there can be many issues to cause them to not work. Stuck valves, rust, so many things. You'll want to get a high pressure gauge and some hoses with couplers, you'll be spending some time fooling around with the valves, check valves first. If you're lucky, it's just a check valve that needs work, if not, you'll be digging into the pump. Glad to see them running again at least.

boy those things. wow is it hard to work on that distributor in the place where they put it. i like those tractors but electrically they are hard to work on. best wishes

I have several Fords, 2N, 2600, 3400 and 4400. The last three with 3 cylinder gas engines. All have been very reliable over thousands of hours of use. Despite being old they always run. I have converted two of them over to electronic ignition which has definitely improved the reliability and removed the maintenance of ignition points/condenser. The cost was about $80 per tractor. That 3000 appears to have the more reliable Zenith carburetor which I have found to be better than the Holley unit you sometimes see. Note; I always shut the fuel off on gas tractors when I am finished using them.

Look like the 4610 has a CAV/Lucas injector pump, which is common to many Fords, Masseys and even JDs of the era. I've been around two now which develop leaks over time in the o-rings around the throttle and/or cutoff shafts that stick vertically out of the top (rectangular dome) of the pump. Mine went a few years leaking when it ran, and then started leaking while it sat- just like what you described. If you have access to the pump, the o-rings can be changed right on the machine without removing the pump and without messing with timing, etc. It took me with a little help from my 12 year-old about 20 minutes to do the whole repair once we cleaned up the greasy dirt around the area. Parts were $9 on amazon- o-rings, washers under the stud nuts and a new gasket for the dome. Not a drip since! Look for CAV Lucas O-ring videos on youtube. There are a bunch showing what's needed. You and your grandpa (and the garage floor) will be happy! Thanks for the great vid, and glad you can support our grandfather in this way. I'm sure he likes knowing someone's looking out for this stuff, even if he can't use them himself anymore. Good luck!

great hib getting that back up and running!

I had a 1974 ford 2000 gasser, mostly mowed and yarded some trees but it sure did the trick for me.

That was two nice start ups, we had two 3000's and two 5000's many years ago, never had problems

They still sell parts too theyre right between the throw pillows and pink robes 😂

Great mini bus RV… The interior looks good as-is. 👍

According to your production plate your fork truck should pick normal pallets up from the floor either via it being a reach truck meaning your forks should scissor out like a car jack on its side or your stabilizing arms/legs should either manuelly or hydraulically pivot out. If this didn't happen it would essentially make your truck completely useless. Who wants a fork lift that cant fork from the ground nor could it put anything on pallet racking usless there was totally free space under the racking . U need to check it out properly to see if the in out cylinder has been disconnected as their should be a button or lever for it in the cab

Nice videos. Just subbed. One thing though & this is just a friendly criticism. Is there any chance you could work on dropping the dozen and dozens of times you say Umm & Ermm per video. Not trying to be an arse hat its just an opinion & you know wot they say about them & Bum holes. . Great videos & am looking forward to the next shop update 👍

Best cheapish engine I've every used in an engine replacement has been the Air cooled Deux Diesel. In my experience the 2,3 or 4 cylinder Deux is a great little worker which I've consistently managed to buy at great prices. I buy them from the junk non running Row at some Auctions or from junk yards. The tins tend to be completely rust out or great 1 or the other. I don't try buying the engines themselves at junk yarde as I've learnt my lesson where I was charged more for the engine alone than the hole machine making out I want it for spares or too try to repair. The machines from1960/70 seem the best. Earth rollers, 2 cylinder wacker old rotten gensets. Got charged $400 bucks for 4 machines at the last junk yard but got him down to $350. I later sold the shells of the old equipment for $250 & kept some really useful spare parts which I know I can sell over time for a good $500 As it happens all 4 engines were cracking little units. I've already refreshed & fitted 1 of those 3 cylinder units to a good friends whose skid steer was junk. I charged $950 for the rebuilt motor with new tins which I fabricated myself plus I completely refreshing the paint on both the engine & machine total cost to him $2000 for the whole job, mates rates. That was just over 2 years ago when parts took ages to arrive & if they did they'd cost a fortune so could have charge alot more . He's been loving it ever since its been completed. I also managed to fit his old engines turbo without alot of hassle, he reacons it got way more power than his old 4 cylinder diesel ever did .

Nice!! 😊

Safe place

How long should I enjoy this rig as-is before working on interior updates?

Beautiful 😍

How did you do the brakes? Does it have a vacuum pump as part of the initial build?

Thanks for the videos. I have recently acquired a 632 and have some similar issues. I’m curious about all that excess oil which drained out of the chain case. My understanding is that the level should only be to the bottom of that drain, so wondering why yours (as was mine) was so overfull. Do you think that hydraulic pump seal you replaced was the culprit? I would t think that oil would end up in the chain case. Wondering if you have checked the chain case since that repair to see if it is still filling up. My theory is that one of the drive motors is leaking into my chain case but reluctant to rebuild them as they are working well when the fluid reservoir is full.

Of course it will drive... !!! Keep up the optimism..

This is my project... Ive got the axle motor, battery, controller, charger & accs.. Cant wait to work on it this June.. .thanks for uploading your experience
