64 Ford 2000 Gas Tractor First Run In 5 Years

After 5 years, the 64 Ford 2000 is running and bushhogging for the first time in 10 years. Started out good but was cut short due to a leaking radiator hose but I’m still very thrilled with the way it ran and operated.

she's looking real good man

Love the military jeep tires on the front, sounds good!

[@sammathews7891]

Runs and sounds good....old tractors can be a pain to figure out sometimes... awesome ...

[@junkyardsgarage]

They can be at times but I would much rather work on this one than my newer one. Isn’t too much to troubleshoot on this old piece of iron verses that other all electronic thing I call a tractor most days.... the other days I have a few choice words I prefer to call it

[@sammathews7891]

@@junkyardsgarage agree with you on that....

[@GerraldFarms]

She is doing a good job. Good it was just a upper hose leaking. Have a good weekend buddy

[@junkyardsgarage]

Still got a few more kinks to iron out but i think she will do a great job around the house and pond. Have a good one too sir

Three words - Neutral Safety Switch.

[@junkyardsgarage]

She’s a little too old for a neutral safety switch… only safety feature on that ole girl is the kill switch to the coil I put on it. Other than that, slam the throttle all the way forward and it cuts the fuel off.

😂 what safety back then didn’t even have roll bars you just better know what your doing on it

[@gordonbright7106]

Mader in got a nice tractor least they made them simple enough to work on.

[@junkyardsgarage]

Yessir! She’s got a few more bugs and some sheet metal work to iron out but I love it! There’s something about an old tractor that gets my heart pumpin lol

[@stehlfamilyfarm6886]

I have a 1963 diesel version. Where did you get parts from

[@junkyardsgarage]

Steinertractor.com and yesterdaystractors.com and if they didn't have what I needed, I used the Ole jungle website

[@mauroesquibel2767]

What coolant do you put in the tractor I want to know what to put in mine

[@junkyardsgarage]

I just run 50/50. 50% green antifreeze and 50% water.
