We have a 1968 FORD 3000 diesel in Greece (was Made in England). Just like yours. Awesome tractor, very reliable. Still works great after any thousands of hours of work. This is due to my late father's painstaking maintenance of the tractor.

I have a 1971 Ford 3000 and it’s served me well since new. Still farming my 77 acres with it. No need for a new tractor. Ford Farming for sure. Enjoyed your video. Sure like to see people service and maintain their tractors with this delicacy.

Impressive, I always think about much that pays off long term for Farmers. I always get nervous aroubd farms who go big in scale and start paying Kings Ransoms for machinery to play that efficiency at scale game. One bad year and you are financially crippled. But these older ones just keep on truckin' - No software locks, ebus or laptops needed.

I didn't read all the comments, but I kept hoping at the end the tractor would be driven into a barn or at least under some cover to protect it from the elements. Without that it's just piece of equipment undergoing excessive exposure to nature. In the end nature always wins making all the work done beforehand meaningless. Still I enjoyed the video very much and you're right routine maintenance saves time and money in the long run, be it tractor, automobile or anything with moving parts.

I just purchased a 1978 3400 and it's in pretty rough shape. The motor only has 30 hours on it but who knows on the rest of the tractor. It needs new rear tires, an engine kill rod, paint job and general maintenance. I bought it just to do some brush hogging and dirt work on my property so I think it will be good for that. Your tractor is very nice.

I never clean the grease fittings after putting grease in, The reason why is that left over grease will form a coating over the little push ball therefore not allowing dust and grit inside. They do make covers for them, many people do not use them. Also wiping the excess grease will do the same thing, this will close any gaps where water and grit could work its way in... Another thing is to drain the water off the rear end as well, If the unit sits out side for an extended amount of time it can and will get water in it... I have changed my gear oil when I first get a new old tractor, I will find a location with a good incline and leave the tractor there for a few days to a week, this will allow all of the sludge, grit and metal shavings to move towards that area, Then you drain it to a plastic bucket and use a clean magnet to check the oil for metal contents... I have also used light weight oil in the rear end as a washing agent to flush anything else out, drive it around for about 20 to 30 mins and then set on incline wait about an hour or 2 then drain, and install new correct oil... you can do the same with the motor oil, drain old oil and place in a light weight oil and drive around for 20 mins or so, this will move all of the fluids everywhere, drain and replace filter again. I will also over time strip paint from bad areas and put primer and paint on with a hardener, This will keep metal spots from rusting.

Here’s a queer one for yer, Owned my 9n for close to 40 years. Replaced 1x rear tire ‘bout 10 years ago, took off the other tire (leak) this year, and got a new tube, (at the tire store) didn’t put back in calcium, didn’t replace tire. The newer tire has better tread, but more “cracks”. (Same type and same brand -Firestone) They ain’t making tires like they used to. Now, I use tire chains all year, perhaps that’s partly why? (Hilly land). I’m also not ploughing - so will see if having less weight in tires “outweighs” the advantages - brush hogging/ firewood mainly.

Good demonstration. An oil filter comes off without tools if it was installed properly. A sheet of coarse sandpaper and gloves is all it takes. If it takes violent measures to remove the old filter someone was not reading instructions during the last filter change. I have had this happen only after "professionals" messed with my cars or tractors. Never after doing the job myself, and I'm a farmer with zero mechanic's training. Makes me think.

FYI 20 yrs ago when I worked at a Ford tractor dealership Ford sent letters to all their dealerships warning or advising (not) to use Napa engine oil filters on Ford tractors they had multiple engine failures. I’ll never forget that. If you use A Napa engine filter make sure it’s The Napa gold highest quality black color filter.

I got a laugh when I saw you pull out the punch for that oil filter. Been there, done that, but one time I got over zealous and messed up the threads on the block. Haven't over tightened one since! Great looking old Ford. Those old diesels make so much torque just idling, and sound so good. Really enjoyed the video.

You can get some of those oversize water pump pliers to get that filter off without punching a hole in it. Crunch it down flat so you can get some torque on it. Don't tighten new filter more than 3/4 turn after the gasket touches the sealing surface. Lube the rubber gasket with grease. Mark hour meter reading and date on the new filter. Always warm up engine before draining oil. This helps oil flow out better and insures that there is oil on bearings upon initial startup when oil pressure takes time to build because of empty oil filter.

If you dent it in more it will break off the snout for the oil pump and kill your engine with out you knowing. Be careful. I did it once I know. Jim in Chile.

I have a Dexta that is from 1959 so it's now 61 years old. The old sims were the best. Just changed the fuel pump I'm almost sure that it was the original one.

I love these little tractors. To me their greatest flaws are the sheet metal oil pans. Looking at yours you can even see where it was dented in a little. If you dent it in enough by hitting a stump, you will crack off the oil pump in the pan and kill the engine. I had to learn this as an 9 year old running one of these doing some scrape blade work. Ford later beefed up the oil pans on their tractors in later years. Other than that this is a wonderful little tractor to do almost all that a small farm needs done. Jim in Chile.

Great video sir. I have a 1966 Ford 4000 tractor and it runs pretty well. Good tips for the transmission and hydraulic fluid level. Great shots and transitions btw. You really seem to know how to record and edit your own video. Good job.

Keeping everything clean and all bare metal painted and free of rust will do wonders along with the routine maintenance. Once the rust sets in, it will devour your baby. I see a LOT of bare metal on this tractor as well as a lot of "stuff" in the nooks and crannies that will contribute to rust.

Great job on the video! I have a 3600 that I love and will never get rid of. I could be better at servicing mine, so good review (it's always ready to work). Thanks!

I have a 3600 that I bought two years ago. Very similar. It will need the double clutch replaced soon,but it’s worth investing in maintaining this work horse. It’s one of my best purchases and always there when needed.

In dusty condition when cleaning the air filter drop the bowl then take out the wire mesh filter that sits above the oil, then take off the pre - cleaner and push a rag with a piece of wood or something similar to clean the down tube, then wash the wire mesh filter in petrol and dry it out, then drain the old oil from the bowl and clean it, now put the wire mesh filter in the bowl and pore through clean engine oil and let it stand when it's stops dripping remove the wire mesh and put it back in place then refill the bowl to the correct level. Don''t use grease on battery terminals it creates a hard non -conductive surface on the lead terminal always use vaseline jelly.

Dad had a 3000 when I was a kid. Pretty good tractor. Never was a fan of the breather oil bath. But, no doubt did it's job. I think it had 5000+ hours on it when he sold it👍

Don't forget to change the filter and clean the strainer in the back axel under lift head. Also if tractor is not running just right there is a strainer at back of pump that gets dirty
