Hilarious . Everyone puts these back together in all different ways .

[@metaspencer]

I've never figured out a good way, that's for sure

[@savoielvis1]

thx for the playlist :)....and thx for this video as well :)

[@metaspencer]

good to hear, man.

Good reason to get the oil filter adapter and start using a spin on filer.

[@metaspencer]

Adapter sounds excellent

[@metaspencer]

Just ordered one from Yesterday’s Tractors

[@redneck6709]

Just did an oil change on my 3000 and it was a little different. Mine has a spout under the filter and didn’t have a spring, maybe it was lost over the years. By the way, $35 for a wrench isn’t to bad. I make my living with hand tools and a set of quality wrenches can easily cost over $300.

[@metaspencer]

Your comment reminds me that it's time to change the oil for the season! Every time I use that big old wrench, I feel it pays for itself. :)

[@redneck6709]

Nothing like the right tool for the job

[@francismalonza6114]

Buy a ford 5000 oil filter adaptor bracket that you will lock over the existing filter assembly on the engine block and you will be using the normal oil filters that you just screw in using your hand. i changed mine coz i could not stand oil leaks when the tractor us running difficult jobs. one time my engine almost ran dry as oil was leaking badly

[@metaspencer]

Great minds think a like -- I recently picked up an adapter like that and it's soooooo much better. Thanks man! Good to know there are other tractor lovers out there

[@francismalonza6114]

@@metaspencer oh yes. i was assisted by an sales person in a company where i buy spare parts known as Bepco Kenya Ltd. i was so relieved. im in Nairobi Kenya. i wish all tractor owners had an opportunity to meet. we have alot to learn from each other. its feels great you got the adaptor. all your problems are solved. you dont need to think about oil leaks.

[@prestonkerr4421]

Also a way of not spilling oil everywhere when you take of the housing in putting a plastic bag under it

[@metaspencer]

I'm gonna have to try that this week, when I do my annual oil change. Good idea!

[@prestonkerr4421]

You spent $35 on one wrench you can buy a set for around 20-40$ depending on size

[@metaspencer]

I know! It was the massive size that priced me up that far ... at least I get regular use out of it

[@metaspencer]

+Jim Marcum ... yep

[@kubanskiloewe]

if i remember right there was a adapter available for these old oilfilter housings ! After installing the adapter you had a std. oil filter connection thread and every later Ford filter fits !! Much less oil spread but africans loved these old versions more becasue sometimes they had NOTHING at all and when the filter was so dirty they put them all out and drive on... hell yeah these Fords were robust like a rock. search for this adapter its worth itt !! WELL i found it fior you ...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/foXYhpyBn5V-Y80 Was in the late 80´s when i worked as a Ford mechanic here in germany.

[@metaspencer]

Oh wow, I'll have to look for that adapter! Hadn't heard of it ... thanks for the tip!

[@kubanskiloewe]

np...greetings from germany and enjoy this marvel a lot more years......i miss them a bit

[@thatswiss1385]

Can you please make more Videos from your Ford?👍

[@metaspencer]

I should have made some this summer, as I had it out there working consistently. It's still pulling strong, so yes: I'll have to get after some videos. Thanks for the encouragement

[@calvinbrown3213]

Ya know besides the mess with the oil filter and need of a long funnel the Ford 3000 is easier to change oil in than my car.

[@metaspencer]

+Calvin Brown ... true when you put it that way. Everything is real easy to get to

[@JRHARTSHORNE1]

Just bought a used Diesel and fixing to replace ALL Fluids. Anyone got any good info on brands and weights of oils to use?

[@guyleblanc840]

15/40 my ford 2000 is a 68 and has never had any problems just the water pump after 55 years but think because my brother In law may have put the belt too tight.

[@Dave77]

Hello I am trying to find that kind of oil filter for my 1966 Ford 4000 tractor. Could you please tell me where I can buy one? It is hard to find these kind of parts.

[@metaspencer]

It’s crazy but I got mine at Napa!

[@ronvermeeren1347]

OK. The spring has to be placed at the front of the filter and not at the engine side?

[@metaspencer]

ssouonds right ... just reassemble as it was before

[@osmancalkoglu5301]

Hello, haw much liter did you put it?

[@metaspencer]

about 7.5 liters

[@malve1126]

What size is the oil filter?

[@metaspencer]

I recently put an adapter on it to take a standard size filter ... the original one was hard to find

[@teestjulian]

I have a 1963 Ford tractor f4000 and we cannot find where to empty/add oil. Can anyone help?

[@metaspencer]

Add it on top of the engine ... you'll see the screw cap. Drain plug will be a big one ... look down on bottom of engine

[@teestjulian]

@@metaspencer Thank you, hope it's there. Seriously, been looking for it almost a year!

[@metaspencer]

@@teestjulian You'll find it!

[@relaxandregenerationchanel8887]

Can you please tell me what oil did you put in your old traktor?

[@metaspencer]

From what I've heard, it depends on the temperatures you'll be running the tractor in. For instance, the oil should be SAE 5W when running in conditions below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, SAE 10W for 10 to 40 degrees, SAE 20W for temperatures from 32 degrees to 90 degrees. With all that said, I think I put in 10W 30 ... the guys at your auto parts store should be able to look up your tractor engine in their books or computer. Mine is a gas engine, by the way

[@relaxandregenerationchanel8887]

@@metaspencer Thank you spencer,I will buy or sae 30 or sae 15-40, I dont now 100%,on you tube video people that kind of old traktors like my put sae 30 for agricolture mashine disel motor.

[@metaspencer]

Awesome. Good luck with it!

[@metaspencer]

Sounds good!!!

[@douglaslavergne7817]

Clearly Ford wasn't thinking when they decided to put in a horizontal oil filter!

[@metaspencer]

+Douglas Lavergne ... seriously! Makes me wanna tip the tractor over

[@douglaslavergne7817]

Got one of these (engine only) in the shop. Darn oil is everywhere (from the filter)!!

[@metaspencer]

I've heard that you can capture the oil by taping a plastic bag under the filter ... I guess that would work, but I haven't tried it yet. Good luck!
