Well I made my offer, and it was accepted. In this video I try and get it started in preparation for loading it onto the trailer to get it home. Sure was glad to have my sons Marc and Aidan available to help.
I have the exact tractor that my dad had for years and one thing to remember is always keep track of the injector pump oil and never over fill it and never run it emty or low ..
Cool video ! Thanks ! My father owned a 4200 diesel Ford, for pulling!! Good tractor ! A electric winch could have been handy for your trailer! But you got it !!
I cultivated many acres of pickles and beans on one of these 5000s. I loved the flat deck and flat fenders to lean on. I bet that add on step below the fuel tank was a place to strap on a tool box.
CONGRATULATIONS on the fined those 5200s are really good tractors people that have them wornt usual sell them there alot more tractor than a utility 5000 I had a 4200 years age the guy that's got it won't sell
@@stevewatr well Steve it's a farm tractor not a utility. Those are excellent for tillage but smaller farmers really like them to pull smaller round balers and smaller square balers there a little large to hall around for custom Bush hoging . Also thay have become collectable. Good luck with the repairs
ED here, memories, my dad & i wore out one of these in 80s & 90s. hay and cows, never made any money! it was way of life. seals in the lift failed and we traded. ran good till gone.
Electric winch would have been the bees knees. Other mistake I made was wasting all that time with those trashy come along's. They were scary, hard to crank, and both failed during use. Not catastrophic, as in cable snap, but cable slipping of drum, jamming release mechanism, and more. Once we switched to the come along and got a good system going to keep the chains from fouling, it was amazingly easy.
Good find. I don't trust jump packs much but I always have booster cables. Having 1/4 5/16 random nut and bolts is handy too. There's a primer lever on the pump. Winner winner chicken dinner. Good video !
@@lancehigdon8683 you had to be there to appreciate the situation. There was only about 10 feet in front of the tractor before the road. The front of the building to the right was right up to the road and the road curved at that point. So we could not see traffic coming amd for a narrow back road it was very busy. Made for a dangerous situation.
Nice tractor & old man seems pretty cool but kids just stood there and watched him work. My dad would have been yelling at my ass if I was just standing around haha
Start it up to warm up the engine. Shut it off and put it in about 3rd gear and restart it. Give it a little throttle and push the clutch down and nail the brakes hard. It will eather brake the clutch loose or kill the engine.
Iam from Philippines, am enjoying watching to this clip i hope is back on the road soon the tractor, sir the two guys is that your son's?my father also mechanic since 1970'
I used to have these Ford and when the clutch stuck on them I would idle them down jump start them up with remote switch with it in lower gear and bump them into a tree and they would break loose Just have clutch pedal in and the cut off knob pull ready for killing it
You should always have a means of shutting off the air intake with something. If it starts and you can not get it throttled down you could have a run away engine and destroy itself. You wee lucky on this one.
I understand what you mean but am wondering why the engineers at Ford never felt the need? My old backhoe had a trip lever that would allow a spring loaded door to snap shut on the intake. It was a 2 stroke detroit.
Diamond in the rough. Its going to clean up great. Got a good feeling on this one. . maybe rude to the seller so dont feel obligated to answer, but you asked what we'd have offered, what did an unknown condition, sunken and buried rusty ford tractor cost?
Looks like a great find! I enjoyed the vid. To load it, did you consider starting it up in first gear and idling it up into the trailer? You’d need to have confidence in your fuel shutoff or ability to quickly pop it out of gear…
I did consider that, however, the fuel shutoff cable was removed so shut down from the operator location was not possible. Also, this tilt trailer belongs to my neighbor and when driving a heavy load on, it tends to drop down quick causing the load to lurch forward. There is a dampening adjustment to help slow the tilt, but the trailers owner requested I not change the setting. He has it setup for his smaller john deere.
All diesels must have a pressure by pass line away from the injection pump. The front axle on a tractor is the weakest place to pull a tractor. Hook to the frame or the front of the draw bar. Strongest place to pull on!!!!
I figured I'd try things a little different. You will still see multi part videos involving this tractor, but it will be mini series, for example, maybe a 2 or 3 part on rebuilding a component, etc.
It cranks okay now, but i am still going to replace that bad cable. I think my perception that it was cranking slowly was partly due to comparing it to my cummins cranking speed. I have now watched otther 5000 s start and realize it really was not too bad. Hope you keep watching. Thanks.
True, but what you cannot appreciate without being there is how dangerous the traffic was. It was a narrow, busy back road with a blind corner right where we were working. Tractor was only about a truck length off the roads edge. Thanks for watching.
@@stevewatr it probably doesn't, because you can't pull it to start , and would have 16 forward speed if it did . I think load monitor on the draft controls emblem that was my conflict. I have a 7600 just about like your 5000
