Ford Clutch Replacement: 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 Series Tractors with Two-Stage Clutch

[@wonderdog3353]

This the best how to fix video on you tube I have ever watched. No rediculus intro with weird music No talking about the dogs, weather and other personal event not related to the subject matter. It was a pleasure to learn more without the loud music and unrelated commentary Thank you for the help.

[@dnsmithnc]

I love how Rachel and her Dad are working as a team to explain the process for doing this.

[@MrJoeAllert]

When the world gets me down, I retreat to watching tractor repair videos. Something wholesome in these. God bless.

[@emileracenet8823]

I have a 1993 ford 3930 tractor. Could u tell me what type of injector pump it has and where the transfer pump is located

[@kevinaubuchon4525]

I just found this channel and I freaking love it. This young lady is very knowledgeable and articulate in her videos.

[@rob7652]

So glad you are back with another video! Was getting worried that you had moved on. Keep up the great work!

[@karinadler2308]

I'm impressed you were able to complete the job in 24 minutes! You're hired!

[@wrzlbrmbft5593]

...and after all that looking like You came directly from church... ;-)

[@johnharrington2831]

Young Lady , I'm so happy to hear you say "throw out bearing, yes mam , and not a clutch release bearing , another thing you stated the adjustment may have been out causing the problem .... but when some one...oh I'm not saying this is what happened , but when you have someone riding with their foot riding the clutch pedal the very same thing will happen ,I think you are great thanks for having a video's out like this one...Philippine John

[@ShainAndrews]

When tightening down the pressure plate, lift just a little bit on the alignment tool. Everything is sagging a bit, and you want to counter that. Get the clutch disk adjusted so you can pull the alignment tool out with a couple of fingers. Good show, good clear communication, probably one of your best presentations so far.

[@andrewsmith941]

I was thinking the same thing. If you have to pull it out and it has very much resistance it could be out of line and binding.

[@jasonmeador3144]

I am impressed by how well she explains things and how comfortable she is in the shop. Her dad has done well . I have two of my own they are not as interested in the shop as she is. But I have tried to show them as much as I can wen they do show an interest in something I'm working on.

[@TheSagerider]

Bloody perfect! I just rebuilt my 1967 Ford 3000 Diesel engine and I put the clutch in with the pokey out side toward the engine, the same way it came out. Looks like that is backwards. It still works fine though. I had a Ford New Holland dealer put a new clutch in it when they were doing other work and split the tractor. For the engine rebuild I did all the disassembly and reassembly work myself saving a ton of cash. The problem with the the engine was the #1 cylinder had a broken ring at one time and wore the cylinder so much there was not enough compression to light up the fuel. It worked ok for a while but eventually it started wet stacking, unburned fuel being blown out of the exhaust causing a black goo to dribble out of the vertical exhaust joint. It started missing too so action was required. It runs great now with a .040 over bore, new pistons, rings and bearings. The bearings looked fine but while it was all apart I decided to install new ones just because.

[@josewagnerbotezelli1057]

Good job Gingel's family! I remember whend i was in Nashville and some times i need to fix some tractors. I am so glad to see you Rachel and dady again here! Huges from Brasil!!!! God bless you!!! See u!!!!

[@drubradley8821]

Another great video!!!! I was watching this one, and my dad started to watch it with me, and he said at the end of the video... "I now want to buy a clutch."... Mind you, he doesn't own a tractor, he was just that impressed with your channel and high class presentation of how you all make things look so possible and easy... Watch, something tells me, he will be a Hit & Miss engine show some time this summer and come home with a tractor now... LOL.... Good job, It really is neat to see my ole man get fired up to play in his shop.. keep the videos rolling..

[@MrBruce0777]

I belong to a few tractor clubs on FB and I attach your video's to them having tractor problems as often as possible WOW ! great job as always all video's are clear, well said , simple, easy, straight to point, well informed . And they offer good tractor parts too...

[@johnfeagin3317]

Great job Dan and Rachel! Great team

[@bonusrege]

Jesteście fantastyczną ekipą. Oglądam Was z przyjemnością.

[@trkyhntr3]

Great job Rachel and dad. This is perfect timing. My 1975 4000 diesel has recently developed a clutch issue and the individual that said he could fix it keeps putting me off. Looks like I’m on my own. Keep up the really helpful videos.

[@austinwagoncompany]

I'm thankful for you two and proud to have seen you continue with this over the years.

[@colmanlong1032]

One of the best channels I've come across,really informative and so well explained.

[@richardanderson2411]

Love your videos, both for content and style. I surely wish that I had a local mechanic with the knowledge and skill of you and your dad. He must be very proud of you.

[@zaneturner4478]

Glad to see you all back. Thought you had run off and left us. Great job young lady and looks like you are having a great time working with your dad.

[@rogercarrico4975]

We had a 3000 diesel for years. Really used it hard! 5,000 + hours when I sold it. Never had any clutch trouble. Those clutchs MUST be very durable. But of course time and age takes it toll on anything!

[@buzzsaw301]

The line up tool is your best friend when redoing a clutch.

[@TF856]

I wish you had a complete video series of repairs on the Howard Gem 2 wheel tractors. The best industrial-grade walk-behind tillers in the world.

[@williamcarruth6776]

Thanks for the help and info, you and your dad are great!

[@dosman01302]

Dan is a great guy! I really enjoy and appreciate your videos Rachel! Have a great week! Get that mustang out!!

[@sofakinggood5829]

Cool, love seeing you work with Dad.

[@colmone5592]

Hi Rachel. Great video as always. You are teaching your dad well.

[@TB-sv3nw]

Thank you both for clear concise videos. I just bought a Ford 3930 and I am certain some of your videos will help me get it running.

[@qotyit1655]

Cool video, it's good to note the difference in pressure plate assemblies...Coil spring and Diaphragm. 🤙🏽

[@carlosg1165]

She is a sweetheart love her mechanical skills .

[@morrisfoster5106]

Love this Girl She's a beautiful woman and so Very smart Mom and Dad Raised Her Well Teaching Great hands on information and Shes so very Well spoken in her Knoledge of Tractors ❤🇺🇲❤

[@TheFoMoCo1903]

This channel deserves more subscribers.

[@eosjoe565]

This was a very informative video!! With the number of different tractors that you guys work on I'm surprised you don't have a tractor splitter dolly.

[@richardross7219]

Very good demonstration. I need to adjust my clutch(1973 2000 Diesel w/ FEL). Thanks, Rick

[@kundayichandaengerwa5069]

Great video. I definitely like the way you guys work as a team. Keep it up.

[@edwardbella3871]

Good work. Your a very good instructor.

[@williamscott3741]

Awesome tutorial, very informative.Thank you very much.

[@larryshedd5734]

Been missing your videos glad you are back

[@artlac]

Thank you Rachel and Dan. I will order my single clutch kit for my MF 205-4 from your website.

[@myharris]

Great video, as ever. Would be great to see the 2-stage clutch changed on your 35x, as and when that needs doing 😊

[@ChileExpatFamily]

Love the video. I am looking at FORDS here in Chile to purchase and rebuild and you will be my GO TO place for all my parts when I make it happen. God bless and thank you. Jim in Chile South America

[@wiso31]

This girl is a dream come true.

[@gregorysampson8759]

My tractor had more robust plates, ford 3400 which is the industrial version. Sent to Kentucky Clutch for rebuild, they did great!! Mine also required significant flywheel grinding.

[@randomwanderings782]

Good video. Totally didn't know I had two clutch pedal positions for my 5900, which I don't feel with my current setup.

[@joelstearns3296]

Great video, my 12 year old son and I are doing this same repair, along with replacing the rear main seal on a Ford 4000 SU.

[@mathewmurphy2790]

Great work guys...from 🇮🇪 ireland..👍

[@TF856]

I like your videos very much, they are very helpful! Other videos I tried to watch Don't go near the level of good information that you do. I'm also interested in knowing if replacing two stage clutch on other tractors it's the same or different as this video shows!

[@billyshumate853]

Really enjoy your videos helps a lot. Take care and have a blessed day

[@roosthrower]

Great video, filmed well and explained very well. Thanks for the time and effort putting video together. 10/10

[@michaelmijatovich8983]

Yes happy to see you back,where have you been young lady 👩 . Question while the tractor was apart why wouldn't you have cleaned the greasy inside of the housing. Stay safe & Stay totally Cute

[@johnhyde8892]

I love your videos, keep them coming. I had a new clutch fitted in my John Deere 50 series and the guy who fitted it used a track.

[@TheTomar33]

would be interested to see the tractor run before you started. Great video.

[@johnsushchyk7933]

Thank you for all your videos So informative Great help to us God bless you all

[@joelstearns3296]

A couple things the video doesn't mention, unless I missed it is clutch finger adjustment, or measuring runout on the flywheel. Also, if your going to go through the arduous task of splitting a tractor of this age it would probably be a good idea to replace the rear main seal too. Good video however thanks.

[@Ray420C]

Very nice job Rachel

[@stevemccoy8138]

We always like watching your videos , Thanks 🇺🇸

[@timdones147]

Great logical repair sequence. Thanks

[@michaelktm6061]

Great video lots of good information. The coil springs are Cushion springs that cushion the engagement. You didn't mention the Marcel spring that fiber friction clutch discs have

[@blake8297]

Thanks for the video! My 75 ford 3400 will basically pop a wheelie no matter how easily I let out on the clutch and trying to easily back up to an implement is super jerky. I imagine Im having the same issue your tractor was.

[@francismalonza6114]

wow. very helpful. i have a problem with my Ford 3000. im following from Nairobi -Kenya. im going to sort out the problem

[@deanbarr5740]

Very helpful, thanks Dan and Rachel.

[@pitdogluna7636]

Excellent video!! Love this channel very informative!! Thank you

[@bernteinar906]

we have diesel versions here in Norway. me and my dad just did a engine rebuild on mine. had some bad piston rings due to gunked up radiator so was overheated some times we think by the previous owner. I love my 3000.

[@bigal50239]

Thank you for all your videos!

[@leeackerson2579]

As usual, great job, fun to watch.

[@hafizzain5370]

[@patmog]

Great video! Very informative and clearly presented.

[@johndoe43]

Once again as always good video and great info

[@mattvarricchio1045]

I have a Ford 860 , 1956/1957 SN 101293 . I am the second own -- A very meticulous doctor owned it 1st - sometimes the stars align . It has the double clutch 5 speed -- would this video cover that +/- or completely different ? It works as it should but after driving it for the 20years I've owned it , seems as if the first clutch is going to need attention at some point soon . Thank you both for your work - I do enjoy the tutorials .

[@DannyV1973]

iv'e been watching you for years, although i got a Fordson super major ,this video gives me an idea of what i,m dealing with..Thank You!!! you make it seem to easy though ,, you need scraped knuckles and a few swear words lol in there.

[@jounipenttila9908]

What a cute small Ford tractor!!

[@enduser6982]

before removing clutch pressure plate, measure the finger hieght of inner tips of fingers. Installing throw out bearing, push on the inner race of bearing and use the retainer spring on fork to bearing so keep the bearing form engageing when foot is off pedal. props to rest of video

[@zamanrana152]

Wonder full work I am very happy to see From Pakistan

[@kubanskiloewe]

18:49 a crane is a good choice; we used most times a hydro jack with wheels (idk the english word) underneath the oilpan with a wooden blanket between. And before splitting we hammer 2 wooden wedges on each side between the frontaxle and the chassis. So the whole front part could not swing left or right and it was quite easy to couple the tractor later. And yes it should do come together without using much force of any bolt.

[@dueljet]

Great video as usual!

[@marinomekaniko2233]

Very impressive... Thanks for the knowledge

[@ICOWBOYIM]

Thanks for the great video. 🤠👍👍

[@CKupelian]

Great video. Thank you!

[@johnnyholland8765]

Couple of important things are make sure the surfaces on the reconditioned flywheel are very clean with no oil on them and when rejoining the front to the back make sure the front cannot tip forward (don't ask me how I know). Are you guys still pulling tractors?

[@mikecurtis2585]

Good job would this be the same on a mid seventies 135 massy with two stage clutch. Thanks.

[@seanphillips5745]

Thank you Mrs.!

[@rowlandwards1272]

After removing the plastic spacers did you have to adjust the three fingers? Thanks for the video.

[@johnanthonygonzales8714]

Thank you for your videos. If you have a lead on parts. Having difficulty finding rims for an 8N Ford none available where I live in NM. Great work on videos once again.

[@marksearcy9708]

Very helpful video.😁👍👍

[@phillanderdatsons4625]

For the Ford 2000 , just to replace the clutch, what is the approximate cost? (parts and labor)

[@davehemmingsen833]

Where the clutch pedal rod connects to the clutch shaft where it goes into the tractor under the seat, mine is leaking. Have you done a video on replacing the seals on that issue? I love you videos.

[@meumeu7037]

Hello. Would you have a tip to reinstall the clutch spring on a ford 2000 ? It’s really hard to put it back as it was installed. Thank you for all your helpfull videos !

[@Depression2010]

How many hours would you think this job should take start to finish?

[@paulheff8067]

We used to replace all 3 core plugs and cork gasket and crankshaft oil seal on all Ford 1000 series and 10 series

[@anthonyvillanova7089]

I would like to know how to properly adjust the 3 bolts on the pressure plate fingers that ride on the release bearing. Very important. Thanks

[@cat-pl7ey]

Your grate I work on equipment for living your smart keep up the grate work.

[@Heikki70]

Excellent job again, Thanks.

[@frostythesnowdragon3170]

what’s so good about a 3 pad disc ?

[@kathyruuska7941]

Dan is a lucky man.

[@Oldyellor]

So here we go, do you have a video of doing a clutch and breaks on a 1959-61 John Deere 60? I have one that I grabbed to restore that has been sitting in a field for the past 17+ years and I'm looking forward to having much fun with this beauty
