Those are serial numbers. There are 2 sets there. 1 set on the engine block and one set on the transmission. I have used them to look up all the information. I was able to find a copy of the original build sheet.
I immediately clicked when your video popped up because the name of your channel is my favorite Bible verse. I say it several times a day. Thank you for the great content! I subscribed. I want to learn more about quail and all the things you guys are talking about. Have a great day and good job on the best of breed honey!
I've spent a lot of time on this style of Ford tractor. My dad had a couple when I was a kid, a 5000 being the one we used the most. The first tractor I ever bought was just like yours. They're reliable and fairly easy to work on. My favorite thing about them is how easy it is to add a hydraulic remote.
I have a lot of memories driving tractors with my grandpa. He never had a big tractor but he always had something. I have seen how easy it is to add remotes. Hope to be adding one this summer. Thanks for the comment.
Dude, it's simple and it says it, knife, torch, multi tool, bits and a ratchet, you can cover a lot of issues with that setup and it seems light and non-intrusive. Simple and to the point, good video my guy! I just shot my first EDC video (I cover lolcows and other internet stupids lol) and it's a basic unboxing of the QSP penguin, nothing crazy, but it was fun, I like how you set the camera in front of you and then your hands and tools were the only part on camera, I don't have anything to A-hold my phone to film like that, B-my laptop films from the front so my video is going to be an unpolished turd compared to yours, I'm genuinely jealous bro, keep up the cool videos!
Great first tractor. Front end loaders are hard to find original. I bought one from Westendorf they may make one to fit a Ford 3000 they also make nice canopies. Having rear remotes is handy, Steiner has dual remotes set up for about $600. $400 for single.
I had one of those and it was a gas burner. Good tractor but I sold it and kept my Ford 3600 diesel with power steering, because I did not need 2 tractors and needed the cash more. Both are good tractors. I still have the 3600.
Our neighbor bought a new 3000 gas, 8 speed, diff lock, power steering, single hydraulic, Firestone 23° tires for $2975 in 1972. Still uses it, never overhauled, plowed, planted, cultivated, mow, rake, bale for years. Tach gear wore out 20 plus years ago but it runs perfectly. I put a lot of time in on that tractor. He also has a 1975 7000 row crop he bought new. It was the heavy tillage tractor. Still uses it to pull the sprayer. Same story, never overhauled. Both in original paint, second set of rear tires, few pavement miles at all. Neither uses oil. Phenomenal tractors and well cared for.
That’s a great question! Banding is entirely unnecessary for raising quail. There are a few reasons you see bands in the video. The most important reason is that I had hatched quail from a handful of different suppliers and I wanted to keep track of temperament and growth of each. This allowed me to narrow down which ones to breed in the future. Among other reasons, such as tracking illnesses or injuries. When they all look the same, it is harder to see if one has recovered and gone back into the pen and is doing well, or if you need to pull them to keep them healthy. Thank you for asking.
@@BibiProvenceBBSmoothMusic Quail actually thrive in small environments. If you put them in big pens they will often die without tight spaces to hide in. With quail you also need to have very short ceilings or very tall (5-6 feet) or they will accidentally kill themselves by flushing. The rabbits that are out there as well are carried indoors for play time in an enrichment pen that we will make a video about one day. If you would like more information about either creature, feel free to let us know!
Great choice of tractors, I’ve got one of these that sat in a field for years, I put a new battery and fuel in it and it fired right up, great work horse!
One of the best tractors ever built. Do not put a loader on that tractor. Front axle is not heavy enough. You will snap it in the center. Possibly the only weak point of the tractor. I saw an overrun clutch on the back, you don’t need that, take it off. That tractor has a live PTO. When you mash the clutch pedal it will stop power to the PTO
Saw the overrun clutch too. Unless something is wrong with pto, that hand clutch below the left hand side will be all you need. However, if it is working, that is independent pto, meaning the foot clutch won’t stop the pto. Our 4000 was like this one. My 3000 has transmission pto and the rotor momentum will run me another 10-20’. I have and really appreciate the overrun clutch.
Just a note of caution here. I noticed here in the U.K. we would need to have a metal plate between the mud guards and foot plates to prevent you getting your foot or long coat caught in the wheels. Just be aware.
Worse thing you can do is run a bush hog below its rated 540 rpm. There is a mark on your tach for engine rpm that matches the pto 540 rpm. Run at that speed. If your tach doesn't work bring throttle to max governor speed then back off about 1/2". That will be close.
@@johnsadler8637 It's marked on the tach. Look for the PTO icon and it will have 540 printed right below it. Go up from that to the corresponding RPM mark.
@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 Interesting. I remember our 4000 was 1800, but don’t remember how I found that out. Older Fords had a line on the tach, but I don’t remember seeing it on the 4000 back in the day or on my current 3000. I’d run out and look, but there’s 1,000 miles of running involved right now. Thanks.
Make sure you're high enough on RPM's for running implements such as a bush hog. It sounded like you weren't high enough RPM when you were bush hogging in the end of the video.
I have been recruited by my daughter to hand raise a few small batches of quail for her. I have 4 that are 5 weeks.old and a set of 5 that are 1 week old today. I will be choosing my pick of a small group that I will keep for eggs and just as pets; I'm thinking 4 hens to 1 rooster. I have enjoyed your videos amd learnt so much!! Thank you for helping this mid 50s age grandma feel that she can raise these sweet birds successfully.
