Can you send me a link from the trucking channel on how you went about transporting this 66? We just purchased one and will be tasked with getting it home now. Thank you!
I have a 1500 and need to find replacement Filter for the vertical hydraulic filter can. I can't find a crossover number to order and Holland has never responded to my request for a part number. Does anyone have a part number or a place I can purchase a new filter?
Im in the same predicament. Mine is '79 1500 2WD Ive done a thorough search across all ford & shibaura models online, & this video is the first time Ive seen a filter that matches the dimensions of the verticle filter located atop the hydraulic pump. The filter is a paper element 3.875" L x 2.00 dia. The only replacement paper elements avail in the aftermarket are 6.9 & 8.58" L, or else are spin-on type This video is the first time Ive seen pump & filter located on the operator's LH side of the engine. Practically all other models have the filter at the bottom of the differential, behind the connection for the suction pipe that connects to the pump up front, on the RH side of the engine If finding a viable replacement becomes any more difficult, I will find myself fashioning a homemade filter made of layers of screen mesh. Ive been questing for a month, and this is getting ridiculous
Thank you very much, so far this seems to be working for me. P.S. I'm glad my 1310 has the same type of open mesh filter, easy to clean and put back in.
I have a 1600 too. it's my understanding that there is no down pressure on the 3-point system, so it does down by gravity. The weight of the equipment will pull it down, otherwise you can push it down.
Ever see a cutoff wheel shatter? Friend of mine had one come apart and go right through his hand. Lost 2 fingers and almost bled out before getting to the house.
Great video. I have this same Ford flex harrow disc. I paid $400 for it a few years ago. One of the gangs had a broken bearing and a bent shaft so I'm about to do this same job. I was hoping it had the square shaft... 😢
I love this video! I’m working on a 72, and the same parts need replacing plus the grain drag and the floor in that section. I hope I can find parts from the same supplier you mentioned. Did your 66 work well in the field?
These combines were first made during ww2 and were given to farmers IF they would combine from texas to canada. Saved on labor and steel. Both big commodities during ww2
I have a Shibaura SD1840D, gray market which (I think) is equivalent to the Ford 1500. It has several leaks and needs the hoses replaced. In the meantime I decided to add some Lucas hydraulic oil treatment which is suppose to help the leaks. Not knowing how to check the levels, I added the whole jug to the rear reservoir behind the seat. After using it a while, hydraulic fluid started overflowing out around the gearshift. Not sure if these areas are connected but something caused it to overflow. Is there a Ford manual out there that shows how to check these levels? I know I'll probably need to add some fluid once I get all the hoses replaced. Oh yeah, this has a frontend loader as well.
I thank you for showing this video. Can this machine be configured to be attached to 3 front hitch linkage of a tractor and the harvested grain goes to the tractor trailer attached to the back of the tractor? This may be a cheap innovation for someone in African who would want to go motorized mechanized farming since the cost of modern combine harvester may not be affordable. Kindly reply.
Same story with me. Long story short I am down to selling flowers and berries about 12 weeks a year at the Saturday market. My kids help out and they make money which is a big bonus. My wife and I have good paying full time jobs. It's just a hobby for me now and we have all the fresh produce to eat and can and freeze. We save some money on food bills. You are so correct on the labor component. for years I didn't consider my time in the equations because I was happy building a farm. But farming is very hard work. There is no money in farming at this scale unless you are certified organic and you are willing to do hard labor 60 - 80 + hours per week to make like $15 - $20 per hour in profit. One positive is farming is a good write off if you have other self employment or 1099 income which i have.
I operate a small farm where I raise freezer beef, freezer and commercially marketed lambs, broilers, turkeys, and layers as well as hay and corn. The corn is strictly feed. Most of the hay i sell but what I use for feeding i have a reliable neighbor round bale. Most things i have learned, it's better to be set up to do yourself. My biggest losses have been due to my custom chemical applicator. Timely herbicide application is paramount. In the past three years they have sprayed the wrong fields, caused very delayed planting, or not even shown up to spray at all. So it better to be set up to at least do my own burn down and if all else fails keep some weed control with Roundup so I bought a cheap simple sprayer. . I know everyone has their favorite equipment. With a couple of exceptions i stuck with Deere. Yes I have old two cylinders but I primarily use my 4020. There are a lot of them out there. Lots of parts available in salvage,, aftermarket or through Deere. Same with my corn planter, a 7000 and my 336 kicker baler. They are simple cheap and reliable as well as rebuildable. Shoup is a good resource for planter parts. I put up ear corn. It's cheap to store. I use a New Idea picker. Again lots of parts machine and I found a company in Pennsylvania that says if they can't find a part through Agco they will make it. I have basically tried to buy equipment with the intent of never having to replace it. We have a good market for horse hay. My area has a big Muslim population, (I'm an hour away from Detroit) so we have the best market for lambs in the country. Combine that with marginal land i can sometimes get for free and I can pretty much feed them for nothing minus the cost of portable electric fence. Or using the mob pasture system to greatly improve crop land soil. I have also turned the sheep out on the corn fields after harvest to clean up butt shelled corn. They stay out all winter unless snow is to deep. The steers are Holsteins. Again, cheap and readily available. I work on the dairy they come from. Another reason for them, i don't own enough land to pasture raise the cattle. They put a lot of pressure on everything and I am not investing money on someone elses land for fence. Besides i can buy straw for $25 a bale and make compost afterwards. Holsteins are not efficient grazers anyway. Marketing is as big a time consumer as the actual work is. Thankfully my wife is the Secretary of Finance, Marketing and Sexual Affairs. A good sense of humor is helpful in this business too. Hahaha.
Ty for the video. I have a 1310 with the same problem, went to a number of forums and they kept saying to take it to the dealer.......must have been posted by dealers.
I worked for my rent once on a farm and restored a self powered one of these. The big challenge was getting the motor running. Cantankerous beast but once I had it sorted it ran fairly well all day. I then got to harvest 40 acres of Lupins for export seed. The sample we sent off to the Ag Dept for viability, came back with a note saying it was the cleanest sample they'd ever seen. Hats off to the mighty Allcrop 60. My only trouble was one day the chain driving one of the elevators broke and it took me a while to spot it but by then the damage had been done as the horizontal augur had packed in so much seed that it burst the metal work. What fun, laying underneath, way out in the field, hammering the sheet metal back into place and getting it bolted back up. Years later I bought a PTO version and had new rubbers made for it. I used a Urethane compound. Does yours have a tacho for the drum speed?
Hi, @@thomasfranklin4307 I had them made by a specialist workshop. We spent some time, the guy at the workshop and I, choosing the most appropriate hardness of compound. Not really rubber but something synthetic, a Urethane in strips about 3/4" by 1" or 20mm by 25mm. They cleaned the metal bars of all the old real rubber which had gone stone hard, and bonded the new stuff on. I think it cost me over $250 Aust, in about 1993.
Cool. I'm an O/O and I always watch your truck channel for assistance on repairs. My neighbor just bought a model 66 combine and wants to get it operational and I've been helping him a little. He's old and used to farm with one. He just likes to tinker on stuff to stay busy. I thought it was cool when I stumbled onto your farm channel. I'll for sure watch this series and be checking it out more. 👍
Long story short for me. My twin brother and dad got into a argument on the farm here my brother left my dad sold everything. He regrets it now. I wasn't around for a a couple years but I moved back and decided to take everything over. I've been buying equipment left right and centre. I've always had a high passion for farming so many good memories to make. Lots of suppers in the field and laughs. I'm excited to get back to where I was will take a lil bit almost there hoping to get my cattle this summer. To we had black and red Angus cattle and grain farm. Anyways great video Goodluck to you and don't give up. 👍
Think you that help me a lot. I have a 1310 And lift was getting slower and after about 45min would not come up You’ve really opened my eyes to fixing my tractor I have had for 15 years dad bought new and he left it to me dad always took care of everything till he past. Again thanks a lot
Hey there, I'm wondering how it went for you with your 1310. My dad and I have a 1310 that we use, and the hydraulics recently started getting weak/not working. I'm hoping I can DIY like the fellow in this video.
I just purchased a 2017 7845 cab with 600 hours Keeping my fingers crossed. The transmission is just like what yours is. Very jumpy but it can be feathered so I’m not too concerned. I have heard this can be adjusted by the dealer but I don’t know that for a certain.
A 3/4 or 1 inch breaker bar and a six of seven foot piece of 2" pipe is your friend for these jobs. Impact wrenches in my experiences take seven times longer and are prone to either stripping or cross threading. If all else fails, a nut splitter is the way to go.
Today they all want to go really fast for 1) to break as much as they can on the equipment and 2) because they can’t make a straight line unless they go really quick !
