Ford 3000 Hydraulic Cover Removal and Installation

This video covers the removal and installation of the hydraulic lift cover on a Ford 3000 tractor. This particular tractor is a 1973. I did skip over the seat removal and installation. As well as lift arm connections, and the cleaning of surfaces.

Had same problem with ford 2000, fixed it today. There are few Ford tractors in Poland and even less information about them. I really like them, I also have a Ford 3000 :) Thank you for the movie and the opportunity to see what it looks like inside before the repair .

You Sir are a manly man! I used an overhead chain hoist to lift mine and awkward is an understatement. Thanks for posting this. :)

I pulled the top off my tractor yesterday. At the return line on the top some fell off into the bottom. It looked like a o ring or a washer it happened so fast I couldn’t tell what it was. In the video I seen you put it back on after you pulled the line out. What was it and do I need to. Taking it apart further to find it or do I just need to replace it and leave it in.

I have a 70s ford 3600 and the lift stopped working. I opened a bolt on top and it doesn't have hardly any pressure. Only a bit of oil came out . It seemed airated but the oil on the dipstick is clean . Does that sound like I need a new pump? Or should I look elsewhere?

[bchriscoe]

I have loosened my flow control valve to a point where it will not tighten back up. Im guessing I will have to take this apart like you did.

It was very helpful to show you how to tighten with a torque wrench.

I like your video I have a three thousand that was blowing the 1/2 line out of the pump and bottom by the transmission I replaced the line and the original fittings the cheaper aftermarket wouldn't hold but the hydraulics are not working we blead the pump but still doesn't lifting any help would be appreciated

Tamiri yapılan ford 3000 modeli kaçtır. Bizim de 1973 modeli var. Hidroliği tamir yapılsa da çabuk arızalanıyor. Ford 3000 e ford 3600 hidroliği uyar mı? İzmir/TÜRKİYE

You should have shown the process of resealing the lift cover.

[smittysdaytona]

so you didn't do the lift cylinder?

[AP-xqjm]

I have a 3000. Mine has two baffles inside that keeps the fluid on the gears. I noticed you don't have that. Mine is also a British model.

How similar is this to a Ford 4610 tractor setup. I think I have a pick up tube cracked but Im not sure if I can base the removal process from this specific setup.

The story does not say why he pulled the cover in the first place since he did not do anything to it. Boredom perhaps.
