Ford 2000 Tractor Hydraulic Lift & Rear Axle Servicing

Ford 2000 Tractor Hydraulic Lift & Rear Axle Servicing. In this video I am servicing the rear axle and lift hydraulic system. Them reservoir took all two gallons of hydraulic fluid before it was at the full level. First time doing this so don't take this information as instruction. Leave a comment if I did not service the system properly. Thx for watching.

I've had the same tractor your working on for most of my life. I'm 44. I use the 5 gallon bucket of hydro fluid from sams club. It usually eats 1 every 2 years or so. Unfortunately the motor is locked up now after sitting for about 8 years. Only thing that's ever stopped that ol tractor. But I'm soaking the engine in some mmo so I'm sure it's gonna unlock. Thanks for the videos. They've helped alot.

[@Joe_The_IT_Guy]

You're a good guy to take the time to make vids about this tractor. I bought an old 2000 for my uncle to use in his oversized garden. It's in pretty rough shape and keeping it going has been challenging. Your info is a huge help and much appreciated!

Wowow Walmart Fluid Awesome I was going crazy trying to find the right oil for my 1963 Forson Super Major Tractor Thanks great video

[@jasonknipper1665]

80 90 oil only in old tractors

[@TAHDAHFarm]

The manual I have for my super Major says 30 weigh in the engine, transmission, and rear end which is also used for the hydraulic. I tried TSC hydraulic fluid and it messed up the rear end. It is not thick enough.

[@MarshallRC13]

great video. very informative. thanks

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Thank you and thx for watching.

[@larrycleveland8862]

Excellent video! Do you have one on leaking power steering fluid that comes from the steering column?

[@jeanlogan2492]

My 1984 Ford tractor needed a new clutch. The two men who fixed it put the hydraulic hoses on wrong and can't figure out how to fix it. I have the service manuals but they do not show it well. Who can I get advice from?

[@michaelwesneski2547]

What size wrench are you using for the filler cap? I bought a 1 inch for my Jubilee but it was a tad small

[@rickmathis1207]

What weight oil do go in the lilf of a 2000 ford 3 cylinder

[@darogt21]

Hi, what oil specification, Brand? Thanks :)

[@dp4racing]

The hydraulic fluid fill cap is left side top, under the seat. That rear plug is didderential only, use 90 weight gear oil.

[@damonlasley1]

I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@ghick4904]

Yep!

[@JOWNZ88]

FOD, I was not surprised when you said Navy. Must have been in aviation.

[@michealpower7874]

Hi , I am after open the wrong screw for the back end , & now the screw won't screw back in , , & the oil is running out , it the screw in under the level plug , can you help please thanks

[@kmilford100]

Look up Fordson Super Dexta for more detail as they're the same tractor for the most part.

[@silverdiesel8744]

So what oil is used on the engine, and what type of hydrolic oil is to be used? Thanks for your information just bought an old tractor andvtryingbto find information.

[@silverdiesel8744]

Trying to

[@arturo7529]

Thanks!!!

[@hippydippy]

Ha! I know this wasn't suppose to be funny, but damn you cracked me up (and yes I own a Ford 4000 tractor.) Nice job.

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Thank you and thx for watching.

[@miguelbarron8708]

Is it the same for a ford 6600

[@blueblood7610]

In the USAF we called FOD Foreign Objects and Debris

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Navy FOD is Foreign Object Damage, Thx for watching.

[@blueblood7610]

No problem Chief. I like your videos and you sort of sound like John Wayne. Lol

[@jellybone101]

Hey was working on a ford 3400 we took out the screw right below the fill plug and now it's not threading back in any suggestions Or words of wisdom?

[@TheThoughtfarmer]

i did the same thing it ended up being the screw that holds the pickup tube in place iwas lucky and when opened it all up found that the tube was broken got lucky kinda

[@michealpower7874]

Hi don't same thing as you , , & the screw won't tread back in , have don't damage by taken the wrong screw out , how did you go about fixing it after

[@smarternu]

FOD, is also an aircraft term which stands for Foreign Object and Debris. you don't want those on the runway.

[@primodernious]

do you know what the container that is next to the alternator is for?

[@hammerhead5410]

Power steering pump.

[@kylenugent8446]

Hey there. I have a ford 4000 tractor and when I pull up the handle for the lift arms a small bit, it goes up the whole way. Any knowing what the problem is?

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Sorry No. Never worked on them. Thx for watching.

[@cardude8908]

make sure your draft control/position control lever is in the full upright position. it sounds like you have the tractor in draft control and operates completely differently than in position control. let me know if that helps.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

Under the seat inside is the control for how it all works. It could need adjusted or cleaned up. If moisture gets in there could also be rusted and stuck.

[@muamermujanovic6086]

Poz interesujeme koje ulje ide ford 3000 nece da dize hidrauliku kad se zagrije onda pocne dizati gdje se sipa ulje za hidrauliku interesujeme teo sam kupio ford

[@amrjeetsingh1328]

Ford 3600 1978 hidrolick oil no?

[@HeartstoneHealing]

FOD lol Hi Shipmate! ;)

[@WillsBullies]

Hi where does the hydraulic fluid go for the front loader or is it all the same ?

[@mikeburke8656]

The FEL hydraulic is the same. You should have a manifold on the right side under the seat.

[@joemyers9041]

hi guys ,i,m having trouble with the hydraulics on my fordson power major,i,ve installed a front end snow plow .i,ve run the live hydrailics from under the seat and i have to pull up on the 3pt hitch control and the front end control or nothing works any ideas ,any help would be appreciatedthks joe

[@TAHDAHFarm]

I have a super Major, don't put the 3pt up all the way. Leave it down about 2 or 3 inches and then pull the knob out to redirect to the hydraulic remote. My valve leaks passed some so I have to do this several times if I'm using the remote a lot.

[@christastrauss3498]

My husband, who doesn't know how to turn on a computer, just learned how to fix his tractor.

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Thank you and thx for watching.

[@themacofalltrades573]

[@rolandschwarz46]

Nimm einfach das dünnste Öl das Du bekommen kannst dann geht die Hydraulik wieder einwandfrei

[@tonsssedell4318]

Not that much research is necessary. A good universal agricultural tractor oil is suitable for engine, transmission and hydraulics alike. This even applies to 4000 and 5000 models that have wet brakes. Mobil Agri Super 15W40 and many others will probably meet and exceed the performance of the very specific primitive lubricants that were prescribed during the early middle ages when they originally made these bulletproof machines.

[@billeaglerunner6844]

Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

[@tonsssedell4318]

Thanks for your work video documenting vintage Ford tractors. I have to rectify my earlier statement a bit: while universal oil is generally good, modern purpose-specific lubricants are even better, at least if one has freezing temperatures in their location. In moderate climate it might be a waste of money. Harsh winter would make 15W40 outright useless, of course. I can't use that if I'm going to operate the Ford during winter months. These machines are actually pretty good cold starters if well maintained and properly adjusted. Not just oil viscosity, winter fuel and a good battery matter - electrical connections, thermostart and condition of fuel system are important too.

[@TheDavosNZ]

Hi Tonss, I have a Ford 4000 with wet brakes and wondering if the 15W40 is also suitable for engine, transmission and Hydraulics? Hard to find any info on these old girls and want to give it a full service. Have noticed the brakes are starting to shudder and make a bit of noise as of late, not sure what the issue is.
