Ford 4000

[GeorgeBest]

The newest tractor I have is a 1967 Ford 4000 3 cylinder diesel with SOS trans.

I bought it last fall and this spring the SOS is giving me problems. Not much of a surprise as it seems some Ford people swear by the SOS and others swear against it.

I haven't had time yet to check it out, too many other things going on to take up my time. But the bottom line is the tractor doesn't move in any gear.

I'm hoping it is as simple as a plugged filter needing to be replaced.

ps... I going to try to post something several times a week in the hope that if we post messages that maybe others will join in. Got a swap meet I'll be at the next couple of days so nothing from me till after the weekend.

George,
I have a Ford, I believe its a 3000 but thats with a big "?" Its a 3 cylinder gas high/low trans. I've tried on YT to determine exactly what it is but I the numbers I've found on it doesn't seem to be the write ones to ID it.

Danny,

Can't help you much with your 3000. I know I had some problems identifying my 4000 as mine was made in the UK and the numbers aren't the same as the US made Fords.

I did get my 4000 in the shop last night. I got a 5 gal bucket of oil last night from Costco and will try to get the transmission filter tonight. Hopefully changing the filter, cleaning the pickup screen, and fresh oil will resolve some of the transmission problems I've been having.
