Ford Tractor Bush Hogs
Ford 5000 Tractor worth fixing?
My uncle has an old ford 5000 tractor he is not using and we need to buy a tractor to bush-hog around my grandmothers house. The PTO on the tractor does not work. Should I get this tractor from him and try to fix the PTO or is it better to buy a used tractor that works good. I can probably get the tractor for free. I have read that the ford 5000 was one of the best tractors ford made.
if you can get it free get it. now the pto issue, im guessing its going to have a clutch and the linkage to it are bad. far as i know the pto on that was straight thru,meaning when engaged took power directly off motor crankshaft.could have a bad shifter on it, inside the tranny. my guess if when you engage it and dont hear a grinding then youve got a bad linkage setup easy. if it goes in and pops out or grinds, bigger problems.remember ptos usually have a clutch like a car and sometimes the linkage is exteral and if bent wont release the clutch.
tractors are expensive. be prepared, get some lube, sorry been there done that.btw just cause a pto wont engage running dont mean you cant shut it off and as the engine slows to a stop, shove it in gear and restart.
