True. Same here 😂

Same thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

good editing

I don't even realize I watched the whole thing till it over

its like making genuine content, posting non click bait titles and delivering the same style video every single time generates loyal viewership over time XD

Andrew is more of a function over full restoration lol

@@Jasn00sh Yeah, why? That's just an extra step.

Even just treat the rust. Do u guys have Krust over there. Think hammerite make it. Turns rust into hard layer and stops further rust

Well, if he does ever get a sandblaster, he will use it on one episode then a couple shows later he will have the biggest baddest beef-blaster money can buy! lol

Thanks

I'm a weirdo, still love these videos

I actually have things to do but end up watching these.

Yeah, his painting and concrete work are kind of funny.

Yep, that paint job gives it curb appeal, however I don't think it'll be too long before it starts to peel.😏🇬🇧

​@@brucepickess8097given he lives in the salt belt if that thing goes near any salted roads any non complete sandblasting and prep n paint would be worthless anyway. slap some paint on there and run it, he's got like at least 40+ machines to keep running aint got time to overhaul each and every one. Look at the front axle wobble on that tractor. The suspension is in much more dire need of attention than a proper paint

@@0xsergy It was meant to be a humorous comment, obviously lost on you.😏🇬🇧

​@@brucepickess8097 came out as cocky tbh maybe just keep it to your self next time positive vibes only

That was an amazing picture, something worth using as a wallpaper or framing it

I thought the same thing, great photo to blow up and frame for the barn.

Thats what I was thinking. great colors

Actually, I've photographed birds in Denmark so I know a thing or two and that pic is just ok

@@sharkknife120 It's in the eye of the beholder

The exhaust on the bottom is for driving through orchards. The low gear is probably mainly intended for 'tillage' work. There're probably lots of orchard tractors in NY! 🍎🍏

I use a heavy length of chain instead of a top link. that way when you travel and go thru a low place the tail wheel can follow to ground and not bend the top link.

that is a weird gear pattern our ford 2000 had this pattern 1 2 4 N 3 R this setup made work with a FEL a cherry.

I believe you have the pattern correct. Top right is 1st, straight back from there is 3rd. Top center is 4th, straight back from there is 2nd. Top left is reverse. Interestingly, those tractors have no speed markings on the tach; instead, they came with the gear pattern and a table of speed at 1000, 1500, and 2000 rpm. Here are the numbers at 2000 and you can ratio to get the others. 1st - 4.0 mph 2nd - 4.8 mph 3rd - 7.0 mph 4th - 14.8 mph R - 4.2 mph. (Surprisingly fast for R)

@@johnsadler8637 yes , we really suffered sometimes with the high reverse speed, too fast when gearbox is in High, but too slow in Low. No, tachometer was pretty standard in older tractors, you'll simply feel when you were to fast, when you flipped the tractor anyway.

He's a gold label dude, and it reflects positively on his parents and how they brought him up. I've been cursing like a navy Man since I was in second grade (not in meetings at work tho. Nope. Never. But he really keeps it clean and together. I could learn a few things from him!

he turns the camera off lol one video when he was repairing the horn on his truck he cut the vid off before the f bomb lol

He’s a man just like the rest of us, you better bet he’s not perfect. You just don’t hear the foul language 😂

I totally agree

Meh. I use fuck like a comma.

what will break and needs fixed , or what needs fixed before it breaks.. living my dream.. just needs some Clydsdales and a Fordson..

These videos are excellent and he doesn't woffle on as he makes them,just brilliant,some talk on just cause they can !

I only skip the snowmobiling episodes. I just can’t.

Did you know ants farm?! There is a species that farms colonies of fungus they have domesticated, and another species that farm herds of aphids! They clip the aphids wings so they can't fly away, and then extract a sweet liquid that the aphids produce from eating plant sap. I learned this today and was mind blown

if it had the 4 speed with the over/under gear it should be to the left of the shift lever, and it has to be stopped to shift between them, and it was offered with just a 4 speed without the over/under gear, which is what this one is

80 in Idaho can't do without either.

Ditto

@@Military-Museum-LP Eighty one here in Germany. Captions do help. Thanks.

google does that, not andrew

True.

I came here to say the same thing. Stabilizer bars will keep implements from swaying into the wheels like he mentioned near the beginning

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 And Jesus said unto Paul, 'Come forth, and receive everlasting life.' But Paul came in fifth, and received a toaster.

That model uses chains on each side of the pto driveshaft.

I use stabilizing chains attached to my top link pin and the implements pins. Works better because if you have a weakening hydraulic system, once you adjust the chains the implement stays put because the chains hold it up.

To stop thecsway and make it easier to hook up equipments, add chains from the fenders bottom bracket to the side of the lifting arms. Much like the bigger farm tractors use.

Not really a popular thing on the 1965+ tractors.. that was an N series thing, this tractor was built after ford saw sherman making money modifying their tractors.

Sherman made over- and underdrive transmissions. Never even heard of one on a tractor newer than a Jubilee, though. Certainly not on a thousand-series like the one in this video.

@@mwilliamshs Not sure exactly what my dad has, I'm thinking mid 50's 8N. The trans has a low and high side that the operator would pull up or push down on shifter handle to select gearing. Couldn't really tell if Andrew's tractor has that kind of shifter. Great running little tractor.

@brianh8955 he clearly says the year (I forget) and that it's a 3000. Nothing like an 8n. Model T vs F150 type comparison

@@mwilliamshs Really "100" years different. Whats different between a mid 50's and 60's tractor besides model name and sheet metal body parts?

Oversized rear tires won’t let 3pt arms get down where you want them.

also in adition , try rotating youre leveling handle on arm , to raise or lower arm , maybe then arms can go lower , you can try

Any tips on how to attach a bar cutter? Being new to farming i don't have a clue how to properly attach/detach the darn thing. And thanks for the tip!

That hose is 900? He did dent it.

@@AndrewCamarata the 30-foot hose from Goossen is part number PT319-01. List price is $851 (plus tax and shipping). It looks like you ended up with the 50-foot hose which will be more. ALSO Your smaller Ford tractor will run that thing WAY better than the new big tractor.

@@timberhitchllc is there anything special about that house that one couldn't just use any 6 inch hose for a fraction of that price?

@@Jehty21 I tried that.The version that works/lasts is thicker but also has the spring steel wire molded into the plastic when the hose is made (this makes the inside perfectly smooth so the straw is less likely to get clogged and also shoots farther). The cheaper versions are thinner with the wire inserted into the hose as a separate part. They come apart under this kind of use very quickly, get clogged easier, and don't shoot as far. It's painful but it's what works.

@@Jehty21 6 inch uv rated hoses are stupid expensive once you have them in your hands. OEM indeed charges about 1000 bucks for them. Aftermarket units that are UV stable and tough enough to handle worksite straw blowing abrasions for months at a time are still in the 500-750 range for 30 footers. Before shipping or taxes... And you'll be replacing it yearly if you actually work it.

Same with the seat..27:02...that's what I call an "Ass Soaker" seat..got one of those on my old Ford 3500 backhoe...

Will it shorten my moms life askin for a friend

Then it wouldn't float.

@@wannabejeeper I use a length of chain in place of a top bar. It allows the cutter to float and still pick it up and carry it when needed.

I don't use the top link on my tractor when bush hogging. I can cross ditches without it, but not with it, too rigid

​@@karaayers2867you'll still break a driveshaft/pto stub . Been there done that lol

​@@wannabejeeperit will float if you use the float function of the 3 point hitch. That's why there are two levers. One is height adjustment, the other is float adjustment. Drop it all the way down and let it float. Definitely needs the top link so you can raise it up off the back wheel.

Shhhh don't scare them

Good data!

My uncle had a FORD 3000 with the SELECT O SPEED over 30 years ago. Tractor spent more time in half than it did in the field. His Ford/New Holland dealer said they were a problem.

'ss version' lol

I think part of the equation too is the rear tires, it appears to have 16.9-28's. I have a 1973 3000 withe the 8 forward and 2 reverse and it has 13.6-28's, I've seen 3000's with 14.9-28's but I'm thinking the 16.9's are a bit big!

I think i see 2 holes on his 3 point where the hydraulic rams can be moved up a notch. That would give the arms more throw i think, but possibly make the hydraulics overloaded.

They're worth more to collectors if the paint is original.

@@IntermediateSolutions I don't think this is the collectors market we're talking about.... utility

Depends. It could have several different transmission. The early model was the Strait 4 speed. In 1970 the Strait 4 was replaced by the 6 speed in hi lo. During which an over under transmission option that gave it 12 forward and 3 reverse. The most common is the 8 forward 2 reverse. And a 4th option, the selectospeed gave 10 farward powershifts and 2 reverse ones.

It's probably old county road tractor they used them for years someone has put taller tires on it will make it highgeared

@@tommywilliams5135 Think you're right about the tires. They are a bit tall for that tractor, in my opinion too. Or not. But the tires seem to go a little higher on the fender than is helpful. Probably get a lot of road spray on the driver.

Same as the 4100, I had. That looked like it had a carb on it when he was painting, it'd be petrol and pregnant not have the torque of a diesel version, hence only having the 'road' gears.

stabilizer bars.

​@@runwillrobinsonthe manual for my ford 8n calls them sway bars

Watching him paint that tractor took me back to how I would colour my toy cars in permanent marker. I would make a total mess of it! That said, I cannot criticise the man. He's an increibly resouceful and skilled man, so what if he doesn't want to spend the time to properly mask up and paint something - he's certainly got much better and more interesting things to do.

You just got to spray the wheels orange !. Anyone agree ?.

We had yellow “highway” models here in Ireland. Some had compressors on the back of them

Why would orchard work not require some slower ground speeds?

We call that a one gallon overhaul. 😅😅

Good from far, but far from good.

After he said to make it not purple and then pulled up at a dealer, I thought he was going to trade it in for a new model, haha

Great littlevtractors. They just keep going. But the do need a rollbar added and there's supposed the be a second gear shifter so you have high and low gearing. Some even have an third shifter for hare and tortoise.

You can buy almost everything to MF 35. You can probably buy everything.

@@09conrado Yes, but where? Andrew could not locate it. I thing he needs to consult an expert or owner of identical vehicle.

Yes, but the Massey 135 was more of a contemporary of the Ford 3000 than the 35...135 was styled more like a 3000, the 35 still had that old "8N-9N" look to them...spec wise, I don't think there was much difference between late production 35's and 135's, but I like the look of the 135 better by a country mile...

@@stefanjohansson6670 There's some Australian dude on UKposts who's doing a series on restoring / fixing every nut, bolt and part of a MF 35. Very interesting stuff.

Good observation - one begat the other (loo large tires - too fast - 3 point arms don't go low enough.

The rears did look a bit oversized. They looked good, but seemed awful beefy for that tractor.

Exactly correct. It's missing the high/low range lever. I have a 1972 Ford 4000, very similar to the 3000

I have always known them as check chains or stabilizer chains. They work like the ratchet load binders having a left and a right hand thread to shorten and lengthen them. As you said David one end goes on the pins under the axles and the other on to the lift pins at the implement. Adjust with the implement fully raised and leave a little slack. As for the tractor itself we bought the diesel version new in about 1968 or 1969 and had it for a few decades. Andrew if your model has the battery over the engine keep an eye on it as the engine heat tends to boil away the electrolyte so it needs regularly topping up. Also the park brake pawl wears out and can let the brake pop off without warning. Happened to my dad and the tractor rolled back over the pasture harrows puncturing both rear tyres in multiple places. Thankfully did not roll over him. Also some of the early models had an issue with the pressure line from the hydraulic pump blowing out the side of the transmission. Happened to us twice before Ford bought out a modified seal and retainer that fixed the issue.

@@ecclesmilligan8712 Most the smaller 2000-3000 fords used flat stabilizer bars that had no adjustment other than the flex of the bar itself. Atleast most of what i have seen in the US. The bigger tractors 5000 and up and maybe the newer tractors like the 3600 used the chains. I bought a 3600 that didn't have any stabilizers, and just put a set of bars on it. They work fine for most my applications.

Even just one stay bar will be enough

@@IndependenceIron Our Ford 3000 diesel came with adjustable outer check chains on both sides, but being in Australia it was probably the UK version as these tractors where never manufactured here.

@@ecclesmilligan8712 We had an old Fordson SuperMajor that was UK built and it too had check chains. Not sure why so many US machines have the bars. The chains are a better design in my opinion.

That spreader looks like a complete clusterchuck. That hose looks eminently clogable/kinkable, and that spinning loading port makes zero sense to me. Not to mention that 'tray' thing. I'd just grab an abandoned hay rake.

@@ericfg806 the goosen bale chopper was and is a great unit. THIS IS A COPY I believe. I have used the 3pt and the self powered unit for years installing yards. DStill have the powered one- going on 30 plus years.

Looks like a bad carnival ride the way it spins.

I'm sure it's a chinesium copy, or Indian.

@@ericfg806 I experienced similar with a gas-powered fiberglass insulation blower. Wrong and poorly maintained in soooo many ways. (it came free if you bought the bales from this hardware store. I brought it back and showed them what was wrong, but anyhow a week later or so I got the Electric blower DESIGNED for these bales and it worked better, didn't leak fiberglass all over tarnation, and I was done with 45x30 in about two hours (balancing on rafters to avoid punching thru the cieling).. as the original gas powered one I had to give up in about 15x30' in the same time as it was just a poor method. I'm suuuuper glad I'm done. R36 for 1800 sq. ft. It made a RADICAL difference in temperature regulation. But that's a story for later.

I think the diesel versions had more gears. I used to have an 8N(wish I still had it), my biggest gripe with my 8N was that reverse gear was too fast..WAY too fast..made it hard to maneuver in close with the scrape blade without slipping the clutch all the time. Wish it had been a little heavier, too, as even with liquid in the tires, it would spin too easily when trying to pull something heavy, like a vehicle..had plenty of power, though. If I even had another 8N, I would want it to have the Sherman step-down auxiliary transmission...

+ no power steering

@@terryatpi , muscle steering was the only option available back then.

That was the salesman and Andrew lol not 2 Andrews

Newer brush hogs have the flexibility built into where the top link connects. It allows the tail end to move up and down a little.

Would love to see your work

white clover supports tons of bees and other insects as well. My yard is like 40% clover now. Barely have to mow it anymore.

Thanks for the tip, I did not know you could buy clover.

The clover leaves are broader which shades the soil and conserves water for the grass as well. The only downside is that weed killers will kill your clover.

Good for honey bees too

Sam is simply amazing. Just amazing. Great attitude, fearless, hard worker, and knows how to get things done. I marvel at her.
