Ford 3000 power steering FIXED. Aftermarket parts, did I mess up or them!!

Dad's 3000 is back in the shop, hopefully for the last time!! He may decide to sell it, but regardless it needs to be fixed!! Power steering is finished and works great finally!!
Aftermarket parts for the power steering systems on these are not what you would be expecting...buyer be warned. Of course I may have messed it up, but sure didn't see any other option myself!!

New Holland part number for the return line is ( C7NN3A713B) . It's pretty salty though at $152.25.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Well that saves me a call, thank you!! Well I guess the hydraulic line will have to do!! I may pin this comment for others to see if they run across it!! Thank you very much for the info and sharing it!! Also for being here!! 😁👍

[@jonathanfrecking1210]

@Pennies_on_the_dollar I went to Messicks website and they have a parts look up on there under New Holland . Type in the model and it will bring up the tractor. Then all you have to do is find the section you need. I use it alot for my 5000 and 5600 Fords.

[@ronphillips1437]

Good evening nelson. As far as lines go it is usually easier just to go to hydraulic shop and have them built save yourself alot of time and frustration. Good to see it out running and working again.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Good evening Ron!! I think this was the final straw on hydraulic lines for sure!! I totally agree, would have been less painful, time consuming and would have gotten the right thing to start with!! I am so glad it's finally out and going, he will enjoy it now!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yep, sometimes those aftermarket parts end up being a one size fits all kinda thing. Always good to have a hydraulic shop in the area to help get yourself out of a bind. Keep up the good work there Mr. Nelson.

We usually get hoses made at a shop that has all the ends needed, or at least has the fittings to adapt to what we need.. Or, OEM... Important thing is, you got it done 👍😁

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

As they say, once bitten twice shy😉 Yes sir, won't be going down that rabbit hole anymore. Cost me a lot of time and aggravation to boot!! I used to have guy super close that could whip out anything super quick!! Now it's like a 30-45 min drive to find someone descent. But worth it from now on!! I never did check the OEM stuff, still need to do that!! Called about a generator pulley I broke, they said discontinued, for online they are all over the place, had one the next day. The world is said in the supply chain status anymore😳 Yes sir, so glad that is behind me for sure!! Thank you Ed for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁👍👍

@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin That is true!!

[@brycewiborg8095]

Absolutely agree with you about aftermarket parts. Ni one seems to take pride in the job. I understand looking pretty, but will settle for functional. Thank you Nelson.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

They sure don't, it seems nothing is right...just a general start, then you have to figure it from there!! I agree, functional is so much better than looks! Had I just gone there to start with they could have made them the right length!! Thank you Mr Bryce for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@tville7043]

Just put a new hose on my 3000. Of course I looked online and almost bought metal lines on Ebay but decided to do the hydraulic shop built hose instead. To my surprise it cost $38 and it fit. Started to replace all of them but figured they'd lasted 57 years so far so if it ain't broke don't fix it. I used wire ties and strapped it to the other line on that side. So far so good. It wasn't fun getting the threads started in that cramped space so I deserve a medal. God Bless. NW ga.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

I guess I was lacking in that research dept, because I found nothing on metal replacement lines. Gentleman gave the part number , but I couldn't find any that weren't on a backorder. Didn't really check eBay🤔 Well sounds like what you did worked great too!! I can see if the lengths are right and you request the exact bends the hydraulic lines can be just as nicely done as the metal! Yes sir, I know what you mean, there are several others with unions but I will worry about those when the time comes!! Very tight quarters for sure, if you got them in there, you sure do deserve a metal 😁😁😁 Thank you my friend for being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope to see you back again soon!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Glad you got it going again Nelson! I've been there fixing threads with a file. I bought a set of thread files once, don't waste your money they were worthless. Have had good luck with small triangle files, they just take a while. I would have been pretty frustrated with those hoses too. Hope you have a good one Nelson!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Thank you Evan, a huge task behind me with the power steering issue!! I totally agree, my buddy is a machinest and he said the exact thing about those files!! I fixed this one with two different triangle files and one flat 😉😉 You know you're stuff!! The hose issue backfired, let's just order and bolt on, nope....more aggravating and costly for sure!!

Glen has run into steel lines that have worn from touching something and vibration. If it’s non critical, oxyacetylene and brazing rods will fix that right up. No issues even years later. Looks like it’s coming along! Take care, 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾☕️

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

[@CMDSR]

I bet cleaning those threads on the steering wheel column was fun. At least if y’all decide to sell her the new owners can see for themselves the stuff you’ve fixed on KZbin. They don’t have to take your word for it.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

That was a chore Carl, they must have been 2 sheets to the wind trying to pull that wheel off. I don't think they hit anything but the threads😳😳 That is true, didn't even really think about it. He is still in the fence, such a good little tractor, but not doing hay much now...we could stand yet another bigger HP unit! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all had a good trip!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Our local Car Quest makes my hydraulic hoses and they are able to find a lot of parts like metal lines for me. OReily’s can make hoses as well. Just take your old line or hose to them. They can match up the right length and fittings.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

I am a geological oddity...seems I'm 20-25 miles from any descent parts stores. There is a hydraulic shop I use now quite regularly, it's close to my house. So I can just swing by before going to the farm. Used to have a guy like 2 miles from the farm, old school parts man.. catalogs and such. He could make just about any hydraulic line you needed in mins, and get pretty much any part you wanted! Lost a battle to COVID a few years back, and the surrounding community lost a great man and AMAZING parts store owner. All of our "chain parts stores" have young people that don't even know how to run a hydraulic machine. Thank you Russ for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌱🌱🌽🌽🌾🌾

[@VintageFarm1086]

Yeah aftermarket parts can be hit or miss sometimes. I understand trying them. I usually just have a rubber line made like the steel line. That's all ways worked well for me. Hopefully you will get everything back together and up and running soon.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

I honestly didn't even think about just going all hydraulic lines to begin with, but boy I sure will next time!! 😁😁 We finished it up and got it charging well finally!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@farawayfarm2520]

Hello Nelson. 🙋‍♂️🙂 I have ordered some online aftermarket tractor parts and it didn't always work out well. I like to take the original hose with me if possible when I get one made. I've seen mistakes made that way too. Don't worry about your content I don't have anything lately that I consider worth showing. I better start thinking of something. Don't want to disappoint the viewers. 😂

Hello Mr Wil!! Most of the time, from the few select sites...I do pretty good!! But this time I got bitten, should have done exactly that....took those with me!! Well I have always filmed whatever it is I am doing at the farm, that way I'm covered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nah really, I can tell field work is more interesting, but believe it or not...The video about the brakes on this tractor is one of if not the top viewed videos of my career. I have yet to ever break 10k on views even with shorts, but that video is pushing 7k I think. Figured maybe someone might need some advice here as well!!
