WILL IT START after being left for 12 YEARS ?

This Ford 3000 has been stood for over 12 years and hasn't run in all that time. Will it turn over ? Will it start ? Will it run ?

It looks like something Whistlindiesel has owned at some point !

[@daveshepherd5352]

Brilliant video Mucka ! Anyone who gives this a thumbs down is obviously too dumb or stupid to understand anything mechanical 👍

@Callumc2020 Farming sim ps4 Looks like someone has triggered the little keyboard farmer. Go back to your computer games little boy.

[@benbright5382]

Good job mucka! "Bill Cosby party gas" 😂

[@cotontop3]

Those are some good tractors, I knew she would fire up 👍🏻

[@LordMuck]

You knew more than I did Tim 😂

[@kjcsomerville]

Lord Muck and some people say Ford stands for; first on rubbish dump, this says otherwise !!!

[@83glxcrusin97]

O boy! that sound as she cranked over and fired up.. throw back to the mid to late 80's at my Grandpa's farm.. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@samuelhenzmann9833]

I really liked how you first took care of the engine like check oil and coolant and oil the valves, before starting it up. Other people fire it up first then check oil and coolant level.

[@sarto7bellys]

The grin on your face when she fired said it all, nice one mate

[@derektinkler4120]

Sound of 3000 engine brings back some good memories spent a many an hour back in the 70s driving theses delightful little tractors even hitched one up to a Ransomes TS90 plough all in all good little tractors.

[@ralphalbrecht8272]

This one is special to me. My dad owned a 3000. We built gigantic rock walls and mowed with it. Thank you.

[@neil7717]

I bought a 3000 that been sitting for years under a tree, was about as green as that, fired it up, changed oil and filter, drove it 3.5hrs home on road, faithful old things

[@robpalfrey9801]

great job! I like the way you do everything properly, building oil pressure etc and checking everything thoroughly. Too many idiots now just get a huge battery on and crank the hell out of it. Well done 👍

[@IamJezzm]

👍🏼 from me! Great to see and hear the ole’ girl running again.

[@jasonbassett4967]

Rescued a 3000 twenty years ago, had a Lambourn cab on it. Pulled like a school boy! It to had been stood for a good few years and started straight up. Good little tractors.

[@tony3424]

What at a f-cking great video.. when it was trying to start I was shouting come on girl .. can’t wait for the other videos on the old 3000👍👍

[@mikeclifton7778]

Excellent video sir, it's a happy eager sound those little 3-pot engines make. Hopefully if it's fully restored it'll get to keep its cab too. Bring on episode 2!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Good going on taking a little care before starting it after so long. Here is another fine tractor to put to work again.

[@Improveng1]

Nice one Mucka. Some cool stuff going on there, your attention to detail is what makes the difference methinks.

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Excellent as usual that’s a great guide for anyone who’s not done a start in a long stood engine ! Looking forward to the next instalments ! :)

[@Dextamartijn]

awesome find looking forward to part 2

[@alasdairvincent6248]

That tractor brings back memories. I was involved in splitting one of these to get to the clutch , years ago while on an Agricultural Fitter’s training course years ago. It was quite pleasant to drive too.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

That was a very sensible approach Kurt - very good indeed. Looking forward to the follow up videos.

[@makeitforfree6671]

Ohhhh that noise from the swinging to the tic over that's heaven on earth... missing them day's..

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Great little tractor had a 4110 myself for few years air conditioning in cab and all should of not sold it now best of luck with the 3000 .

[@sgriffin747]

Really enjoying the vids Mucka. Informative, entertaining and I’m learning something new. Top job, keep em coming! 👍

[@dakotak8437]

Great how the tires all Held up great. Great video

[@brucedavenport1324]

As an armchair mechanic I can only say bloody good show your lordship . I love watching old relics of the past being brought back in to service by a bloke who knows what he's doing !!

[@captainclarke]

Nice little tractors those 3000s. Look forward to the next installment!

[@northshorenative6160]

just found ya, Now I gotta wait for the 3rd eposode. cheers!

[@georgebensing8751]

Fine job sir, thank you so much for making this video. I hope you post more like this!

[@Mr09worthy]

Loved this vid mukka! More 'will it start' videos would do just nicely 👍😉

[@myprojectsinterests6119]

I look forward to seeing all of your progress. Regards.

[@LordMuck]

Love the 4-71, strangely enough 3 days ago I bought a 6-71 out of a Terex 72-51 loading shovel. Once I get it home and have got a bit further with both Fords, I'll do a vid on the Detroit.

[@jamesjohnson5640]

Really like how you bring it back to life. Great vid.

[@johnsheahan7914]

Great video I am new to your channel I was amazed it started after that long

[@tractorman4461]

That's great that it fired so easily and here I have a 2000 Ford 3 cylinder gasser that won't start at all below 40 F !! Good video with very good preliminary practices sir. Thanks for the upload.

[@gunton21]

Lovely little tractor, used to drive one in the 70s, great video LM. 👍👍👍👍

[@tommitchell1826]

watching ur vlog mucka braught back memorys off my late father we had a Ford son major it wldnt start without sme easystar .good work man

[@stonyfitz]

keep them coming mucka very interesting videos. Thanks.

[@billdyke9745]

What is it with diesels? Sometimes you can ignore them for 12 years and they'll fire right up. Other times you leave them overnight and you're buggered. Nice one. 👍

[@michealhume3259]

Absolute brilliant video mucka love vids like this one , love the blue tractors shame I drive a Massey 😂👍👍

[@darrenendersby9079]

Kurt what was a great great video mate i love viewing it 🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@ginggur17]

Mate, what a lil beauty! Love it. How do you find these gems! Brilliant. The tyres have held very well indeed.

[@markmortensen4341]

Looks like it might be a great find. Either way it was a good teaching moment‼️👍🏻👍🏻

[@hunterwhitfield1126]

I have a 4000 English made with a cab that’s been sitting in the hedge for 10+ years nothing was wrong besides it was just worn out but your videos are cool to watch.

[@charlotte-bx1ex]

OK, so 1. Why have I only just randomly found your channel? and 2. Why am I obsessed with this already?! 😘

[@alexandermckellar4001]

Nice tractor, and i learned something, 3 cylinder. I seen when you took the rocker cover off . Six rockers, I'm like , my old cross flow engine in a Capri years ago eight rockers . That's when I realised ah!!! Three cylinder. Loved it when it fired up. Great video.

[@mattwyatt2375]

Well I had my doubts but your experience and the old girl proved me wrong , nice to see 3000 start .

[@bobpaterson1845]

Never doubted it was gonna start unless it had broken rings or something really serious wrong 🤔 loved those 3 pot ford engines they could take a lot o hard graft 💪💪👍 looking forward to next installment 👍

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Great little tractor. If I remember a little more horsepower than a Massey Ferguson 35 diesel. Sounds like it was just out of the showroom.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice work keeping everything out and firing it up. Sound like it has some real possibilities.

[@deranocasper]

What a very nice ford tractor 👌great projet all I have for my ferguson tvo is a link box and log splitter very useful we tractor cheers for sharing i love your creative videos specially on the old stuff

[@mechanicaldude4868]

Just got a sub from me. Can’t wait too see more on the lil project

[@SixOFord]

You just can't keep a good ford down. I've got an old 4610 myself. These old tractors will probably out live the new ones.

[@JTChainsawshop]

Me too I have one and a 8n

[@kevinwillis9126]

Sounds good Kurt. Cracking job mate..

[@grahampodbery8645]

That is brilliant Kurt it started better than some of my old Fords do when left over night. lucky the rain had not gone down the stack standing just inside without a flappy cap.

[@LordMuck]

It was just in the shed far enough I think.

[@robleary3353]

Love it! There are some old bits of kit that just want 'another go'. Another old machine saved from the wrecker!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂

[@cpedersen474]

I literally made an 😲 face when you said "Bill Cosby party gas". 🤣😂

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Ha classic , inside the block looked well clean for something stood 12 years. Those sounds remind me of trying to start my dads invariably air locked 550 digger!

[@danielboard4786]

Just started my ford 4000 after 5 years sitting outside,she runs well, just need to get the front end loader working and new generator...

[@ThomasAnderson-uw5pk]

nice one running like a sweetie ,nothing like the irn bru to get things going lol

[@kjcsomerville]

Just found you, great vid’, just subscribed, please keep posting, thanks.

Great video good luck on getting it going

[@wildefox1478]

KZbin recommended this video to me, great content, I also subbed!

[@tomwe11ings]

Very good, and interesting video Kurt!

[@dghkjfgiig6978]

I reckon you are on to a winner here. I like this tractor

[@28YorkshireRose12]

It was one of these that permanently damaged my hearing - Worst cab ever on any tractor I have driven, but, they were a redoubtable little workhorse that took over where the Dexta left off. After my hearing had been destroyed, then the boss bought a 4600 (a glorified Dexta!). It had the Sankey "Q" cab (bubble cab) and by comparison, was an absolute delight to drive. In those days (1975) we were bashing away for 16 hours a day, and ear defenders were only for wusses - if you could get them! My skinflint boss would never spend the money. Our 6600 was the tractor of choice for heavy work, but I'd moved on before the arrival of the TW-20.

[@bigtrucker26]

I wish this was in Michigan, usa - that is practically my IDEAL tractor right about now, only thing to make better would be a front loader! I was hoping to pick up one of these when I moved, but, home repairs killed the budget.... I can still dream, and hope for a great deal on one like this, if only I could afford it.... Wouldn't even mind the tires, it would be used for homesteading anyway...

[@gethinjones1348]

Great video- the engine sounds sweet as a nut 👌, hope to see follow up videos mate 👍

[@peterevens6463]

what no laptop no big bill just a bit of machanical knowledge. good stuff.

[@LifeOnTheRoadNoFixedAbode]

great vid mate look forward to the next bit

[@martymartin2894]

I learned something new from this video, i never new some air filters have oil in them. If i had opened that id have thought the engine had leaked oil in their or something.

[@conalkavanagh4480]

Love your video I need to fix my Massey 35 x give me luck lol

[@patkelly7999]

Good man Kurt, you are no joke, top marks for preparation:):)

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail!

[@philipm1009]

Great video best one i seen in a while

[@EoineyMTX125]

Great video! Nice tractor those 3000s

[@enriquearias4833]

Thank you for the video of the ford 3550. I have a 1975 3550 that has been sitting. Will be trying to turn it over. Can you do a video of what all the controls are. Thank you in advance for using your time to make these tutorials.

[@danmackintosh6325]

Nice find that, from the tyres I'm going to guess it's had a fairly easy life mowing lawns or similar hence the low hours and lack of bad rust. Doesn't look to have seen any scraping or real mucky work.

[@mwnciboo]

Its a Ford...so yes. 4000hrs is decent. Well worth a restore.

[@tractorandfarmingvlogs8931]

Man those are some good tractors 3000 and 3600

[@nsainah]

Nice, love the 3 cylinder ford engines

[@Endfloat]

Excellent stuff! Definitely brought a smile to my face when it started! Great channel by the way. I just subscribed.

[@LordMuck]

Good to have you here 👍

[@johnbonas8080]

Great video, good advice, very interesting.

[@williamdavidson9009]

I've found that often the coolant evaporates after a while. When you cranked it it sounded like one cylinder was low on compression so you might check that all the valves are moving.

[@LordMuck]

I checked they were all free when I oiled the top end. There's coolant in the rad, just below the top hose as I could feel it when squeezing the hose and after it ran you could see it leaking through a split in the hose.

[@matthammond2023]

Nice little tractor handy for grass cutting

[@hamishkay3010]

I so love these Will It Start Videos

[@tomoutdoors_5933]

Thoroughly enjoyed this

[@pauljohn6637]

Hi Mucka. Great video. Nice to see proper preparation paid off. She did sound sweet. We had a 5000 about 40 years ago. Used her for a project turning her into a 360 tractor/backhoe which could also take a front end loader attachment. It was something special but never went into production. Later on put her back to tractor spec for the farm. Great memories.

[@harrisharvester]

Great vid mucker good job. 👍

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Really liked this vid we have an old same centorion that has been sat for years that I would like to get running

[@mf50b]

Nice to see abit of care being taken rather than the usual chuck a jump pack at it then rev the tits off it. Sure will help the engine in the future.

[@roosthrower]

You done well. It looks funny the bonnett in cab and cab built around guards. Good idea the vaccum pump in tank. Moss you should call it, hope you get a sticker made for windscreen. 10/10 good video

[@russellpetrie119]

look forward watching it happen good old ford

[@ricwh]

I look forward to seeing the next video

[@nickward9927]

Nice little tractor hope your adding it to your collection? also need to go your oil sample on that be interesting to see what that came back like. Keep up the good work

[@LordMuck]

Yes we've got an MF Dynashift sample to send off so will wait until we sample both

We have a fordson diesel major with a front loader great workhorse. and a new performance major as well my dad restored a Ford 3000 for one of his customers year ago lovely tractor they are

[@hsagri69]

Not sure of it was ur intention but great video showing how to first run a stored tractor. 2 fords in the workshop. Yep that sounds about right😅

[@LordMuck]

I'm about to start the cab cladding on the 8100 but have some stuff on order I'm waiting for so thought I would do a Stored/Start vid.

Did well mon. Just starting a refurb myself on an international 584. Only about 18 month later than planned

[@markcorr6704]

I started working on a david brown 880 about 4 years ago. Did a lot of part removal and now its sitting in the corner of the workshop acting as a shelf! 😣Watching this makes me want to resurrect the old davey again😁 thanks for the inspiration mucker👍

[@LordMuck]

Get it done 😎

@@LordMuck you know what..... i will. Positive attitude😉🤔

[@damonabets3779]

I love you videos I love the narration!

[@paullee4033]

When people talk about porous blocks there is more than one reason some went porous in the camshaft housing which meant the block was scrap some used to crack in the bore which meant you could liner them most of the porous blocks I found where on 4..4 size bores 4/5000 46/66/7600 very rarely a4..2 inch bore 2/3000 36/5600 they allways reckoned you left the water pump on when it was bored for liners another thing check length of water pump bolt make sure they did not bottom out putting pressure on no1 cylinder i think some areas of the country had harder water which caused more problems
