I've learned a lot from your work. Thanks. I've got a 1963 4000 4 speed that moves forward ever so slightly when started. It's definitely out of gear. Any ideas on the cause?
Thanks, glad I can help. I'd say your most likely issue is clutch adjustment or rust on the clutch pressure plate or flywheel if it does it when setting for a long time.
@narcissistinjurygiver2932 depends on what parts are needed. Gaskets, springs, bearings, and seals are easy to come by and aren't too expensive. Hard parts such as gears, forks, rails, and shafts can be found new but aren't cheap. Used parts are readily available, but prices vary wildly.
@narcissistinjurygiver2932 I don't have any personal experience with a 2000, but I'd make sure it runs good and strong in every gear, 3 point works, and check tire conditions. Rear tires can be more than the cost of the tractor. Check fluid levels and condition also. Make sure clutch doesn't slip and shifts without grinding.
