This Ford 3000 has been stood for over 12 years and hasn't run in all that time. Will it turn over ? Will it start ? Will it run ?

  • Brilliant video Mucka ! Anyone who gives this a thumbs down is obviously too dumb or stupid to understand anything mechanical 👍

    O boy! that sound as she cranked over and fired up.. throw back to the mid to late 80's at my Grandpa's farm.. 👍👍🇨🇦
  • @cotontop3
    Those are some good tractors, I knew she would fire up 👍🏻
  • Sound of 3000 engine brings back some good memories spent a many an hour back in the 70s driving theses delightful little tractors even hitched one up to a Ransomes TS90 plough all in all good little tractors.
  • I really liked how you first took care of the engine like check oil and coolant and oil the valves, before starting it up. Other people fire it up first then check oil and coolant level.
  • @sarto7bellys
    The grin on your face when she fired said it all, nice one mate
  • This one is special to me. My dad owned a 3000. We built gigantic rock walls and mowed with it. Thank you.

    I bought a 3000 that been sitting for years under a tree, was about as green as that, fired it up, changed oil and filter, drove it 3.5hrs home on road, faithful old things
  • Excellent as usual that’s a great guide for anyone who’s not done a start in a long stood engine ! Looking forward to the next instalments ! :)
  • @robpalfrey9801
    great job! I like the way you do everything properly, building oil pressure etc and checking everything thoroughly. Too many idiots now just get a huge battery on and crank the hell out of it. Well done 👍

    You just can't keep a good ford down. I've got an old 4610 myself. These old tractors will probably out live the new ones.
  • As an armchair mechanic I can only say bloody good show your lordship . I love watching old relics of the past being brought back in to service by a bloke who knows what he's doing !!
  • That tractor brings back memories. I was involved in splitting one of these to get to the clutch , years ago while on an Agricultural Fitter’s training course years ago. It was quite pleasant to drive too.
  • Rescued a 3000 twenty years ago, had a Lambourn cab on it. Pulled like a school boy! It to had been stood for a good few years and started straight up. Good little tractors.
  • @mikeclifton7778
    Excellent video sir, it's a happy eager sound those little 3-pot engines make. Hopefully if it's fully restored it'll get to keep its cab too. Bring on episode 2!
  • Ohhhh that noise from the swinging to the tic over that's heaven on earth... missing them day's..
  • Fine job sir, thank you so much for making this video. I hope you post more like this!
  • @tractorman4461
    That's great that it fired so easily and here I have a 2000 Ford 3 cylinder gasser that won't start at all below 40 F !! Good video with very good preliminary practices sir. Thanks for the upload.

    Nice one Mucka. Some cool stuff going on there, your attention to detail is what makes the difference methinks.
