The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Good Moring all! Just coming back to this forum some 10 years since I last posted! Anyways, I have recently acquired a force 5000 project tractor. Intending on getting stuck into this early in the New Year. Engine is seized solid from what I can see but will do some digging- it's the original non re...

Hello all- hopefully someone will be able to assist here! I've lifted the top cover on my 1975 4000 tractor and found a worn cam follower pin that is sending the linkage out of adjustment. (as previously diagnosed by Brian). I realise that this is in the wrong section but reading other posts it seem...

Evening all :D Ok so this has taken me the best part of 9 months to get around to lifting the top cover to see what is going on in there! It appear that the cam follower pin has worn pretty badly- see below. Should this have a small roller assembly like the super major set up- if so could somene giv...

This might not solve your problem, but from "past experience" :eyes: with temperature guage sender units, I would suggest purchasing a genuine CNH/New Holland sender unit, part number C4AH10884A.See if that makes a difference :mrgreen: TSG. Is this because the genuine Ford sender is matced to the g...

Hi Frank, Fingers crossed- I looked again at the oil this morning after the initial disappointment of the colour yesterday and it didn't actually seem that bad, and certainly hadn't got any worse overnight (?) So will fit the genuine sender unit, a replacement thermostat and voltage regulator and g...

Only the 4000 and one of those *coughs* 50 series green machines

Unfortunately not enough time or space for anything more

Well done - too cheap??

What's your next project?[/quote]

Well I set the price and am happy with it .....

I have a very straight ford 4000 that i'm debating doing a bit of work on now

Thanks Ben. Tractor sold this morning to a new and good home in Cornwall.

Not sure why the link didn't work... this one should though

Hi Ben,

Still for sale....

Unfortunately no room and other tractors means it has to be this one that goes...

For Sale: Restored Super Major

After a lot of deliberation I have decided to part company with my Super

It's on as a classified Ad but feel free to PM me on here with any questions/ enquiries.

Hello all, Following resetting the lift etc earlier in the year, my '61 super has been pretty spot on over the last few months however recently i've noticed that it struggles to lift anything once the oil is hot (operating temp). Giving the engine plenty of revs just about gets things moving but the...

Good advice and taken on board thank you. I did actually o...

Hello all, Bit of advice if I may- temp guage wasn't reading on my 4000, so disconnected the wire and shorted it to earth and this sent it steadily into the red so diagnosed a faulty sender unit. I ordered one from Agriline but this climbed to the red with the water and engine only lukewarm after ru...

Ok, checked this morning but has the deluxe cab (!) with the fibreglass surround- didn't have time to remove so couldn't get the code. Did get a couple of others from the rear axle casting. I know the tractor is original so hopefully this will help date it? Anyway codes are: 14-3-75 C5NN 4024Y1 Does...

thanks Brian- for all my browsing I never saw that!

Will have a look in the morning now

Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply and sorry for letting the thread go cold- time has got away from me a bit over the last few weeks. Yes, no problems ref the positons of the lever, it is in the correct place- good to double check though. Could you point out where I should be looking for these date code...

Morning all :D As per title, having some issues with the hydraulics on my 1975 4000. Basically as per my super major, the lift is difficult to control in position function, it's either fully up or down. you can just about position the lift arms by feathering the quadrant lever but the lift creeps do...

Hello all,

Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on one of these? It's for a 1961 super major. Phoned my local CNH dealer (T H White Frome) who were unable to help and completely lost by the request.

Are they still made/ available?

Thanks

Andy

And just when you thought it was all going well.... Loaded the transport box up with logs at the weekend and set off home, hit a bump in the road and down came the lift arms sharpish :( Cover off and seems the centre section on the cross shaft has rotated (stripped splines?) meaning a new cross shaf...

Evening again, Cover adjusted and back on- it turned out to be 2 things mainly- one was that the turnbuckle didn't locate correctly in the control valve and the other was as Brian suggested a worn position control roller and more so the follower. With the worn position control roller and folower, a ...

Hi Magnus, On the whole, Agriline are pretty good and I've bought plenty off of them in the past- always helpful and speedy delivery.

Hi Pat, I would think you're right about the turnbuckle being adjusted too far- however as it's currently fitted this gives the correct dimensions. I'm fairly convinced that the turnbucle isn't seating properly in the control valve trumpet. Will check out later this morning- luckily I kept the old o...

Sorry Brian, just re read your post!

Your wiki entry has the dimension as 10mm from pump to valve for qualitrol?

For position control, yes, control valve plunger, 9/16 spanner to undo the lock nut then a short stubby screwdriver to make the adjustment?!
