This series (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000) from 65-75 was the pinnacle of Ford's agricultural line. There are tens of thousands of these old beasts still out there earning their keep on farms and ranches all over the place.
Totally, i´m a freaking fan of Ford tractors specially the ones you mentioned. i´ve seen the 3000 doing things that no tractor of that weight and power should be able to do without breaking.
We had four of those old Fords on our family farm, and one of the things that I remember is that they were so easy to service. Everything that you had to change, check or grease was accessible, not like some of todays machines where you have to dismantle half of the tractor just to change oil. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
You are the first, in a very long time, to show wiping the oil filter contact area for the new oil filter! Great work. It's in the details... You have many people watching every detail
I love how your son is by your side, experiencing new things! Your patience level reminds me of how God is patient with us when we ask question after question. I'm glad he made us curious!
I learned how to operate a tractor, shredder, post hole digger, box blade, front end loader and a round bale fork all on a 1973 Ford 3500 which was otherwise identical to this tractor. So this video brought back lots of good memories. Well done.
Rust neutralizer, primer then paint. The 3000 makes for a GREAT mowing tractor. Little man is learning TONS, HE IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU! God Bless you and your family.
Omg the little guy is cute ! He will always remember the things he is taught by dad ! That is me right there with my dad it is how he taught me my tools
Good to see a young father having a solid relationship with his son. I just encourage you to not take him or his location around you for granted. It really hurts the heart when we loose one to a farming accident. And it happens when we do not keep an eye on them as they try to stick with Dad and run after him without knowing. All the best to you and your family. Great video.
I love the relationship between you and your son. You are a wonderful Daddy. I also enjoyed watching you take care of the old tractor. It was nostalgic for me. I don't remember the name of them, but Jay Leno uses nothing but a battery that never leaks.
Have my grandfathers 2000 sitting outback that I’ve been trying to track some rims and tires down for it. Someone used water as ballasts. Needs some attention to some coolant pipes but otherwise I guarantee she’ll start no issues.
Great video and great information on maintaining an older tractor. That Ford 3000 will go forever if you continue to take care of it. It's amazing what a simple coat of rattle-can paint can do for both looks and protection. Keep that little feller with you as much as you can. Before you know it, he will off & gone, grown-up with a family of his own, and you will wonder where the time went. The memories will be what you have and every time you look at that old Ford tractor, you will thank the good Lord for every single one of them...and so will he.
That’s a beautiful tractor. It’s in really nice shape.But you’re son really stole the show! So nice to see a Father son spending time together without video games! Keep on trucking 👍
You do a great job at doing things, only thing not up to par is the one battery cable end, the bolt on cable end is a temporary fix, to get you home, then either change the cable or get a proper cable end put on the battery cable. As a heavy duty mechanic I’ve had many problems over the years caused bu the temporary cable ends. Love your videos, and especially watching your young son, reminds me of my grandson, take care my friend.
Nice tractor buddy, I own a 3600 and my father-in-law owns a 3000 as well. The 3000 needs the engine over hauled desperately but it still chugs along. The coolant heater shorted out (7-8 years ago) and started a fire that spread around/in the tractor but my father-in-law got it out out in time and had to rewire it and replace the hoses and belt. These older tractors aren't as nice as the newer ones but are a lot easier to work on lol.
From NZ - these tractors gave sterling service for a very long time for farmers who resisted the allure of bells and whistles on flasher machines. The Selectamatic version was OK while nice and new but the fully manual version was more reliable and many a rough acre was broken in using a rotary slasher behind them. Your tractor is well worth keeping long term and Junior may well keep it up to scratch when you are old and grey!
Great experience for the young boy. My children's fondest memories were riding around in their grandfather's back yard riding in a wheelbarrow with grandaddy pushing them. Those memories will last a lifetime.
Just found your website , awesome tractor, & a handsome little son , I know your very proud of him , tractor sounds great , I have a 1950 Ferguson TO20 , Thankyou for sharing , blessings to you and your family
Love your grin when the Ford 3000 starts up again. I think it has a grin on its grill too. You can call it "The little blue tractor that could". When I was your son's age my mother said that everything I said started with :"Why?".
Had a super clean 1969 2000 diesel for about 10 years, thing was bulletproof. Rarely used it, kids came along, had to sell it. 20 years later, bought myself a 2021 L2501HST with loader & grapple. Life comes at you fast!
Loved the video. I grew up on an 8N Ford. If you are changing the oil bath filter and the engine oil at the same time, you are doing 1 at the wrong time. Engine oil should be changed with the engine warm so that any solids are suspended in the oil, not sitting on the bottom of the oil pan. Oil bath air filter should be changed when the engine is cold so that any solids are in the pan, not in the wire mesh. Other than that, great job. Good to see it being used.
Great video Wes! So glad to see you giving that Ford 3000 a little TLC. You may remember me saying that I cut my teeth on a similar one here in the UK in my teenage years, and passed my first driving test on it! In fact, your 3000 was the original reason I subbed to your channel! Your little lad sure is growing and looking lovely! Regards to all - stay safe & well. 👍👍
@@falllineridge Something else I could add, is that in my later years as a UK Truck driver, I used to collect & deliver new Ford Tractors all over the UK from the Ford factory at Basildon near London, which is now owned by Case - New Holland! 👍👍
Good job! I've got a 69 Ford 3000 I putter with too. Now you've motivated me to give mine a little TLC too. My granddaughters love it and love going for little hay rides either on my lap or in a cart behind the tractor (hayless hay ride).👍
The drawer liner wasn't a bad idea but moisture can get under it and cause good old fashioned rust. I'm a bigger fan of spray on truck bed liner, spray under coating, or Flexseal.
Or cut the liner so it was big enough to overlap the steel edges - so any moisture coming down the battery would be kept from touching the steel of the tray. Maybe it would look a little funky and may present a slight fitment issue - I think the benefit of keeping any acid away from the painted steel tray makes the most sense.
@@samvalentine3206 you'd still have the same possible issue of things like condensation getting under there. But a spray on coating prevents that period.
Wes, anything 20-30 minutes is just about perfect. Great job with the tractor, and also with your curious little helper. Man can they ask questions! Not an easy thing trying to get stuff done and babysit at the same time. And you should totally save(not shave) that mustache.
Fantastic. And there's me thinking you had sold the 3000. Great to see her back. Super little tractor. My Dad had one and I wish I had it now. Greetings from Ireland.
Really enjoyed this - great to see neglected machinery revamped and able to be used - You be careful with your son on the tractor - accidents can happen very easily.
I grew up on a working cattle farm with two early Ford 5000's...our nearest neighbor had a 3000. Blue ran in our area...! Tip...POR-15 next time you have to paint over that type of damage. I've used it several times, cures better in humidity and it's amazing stuff.
I invested in getting a Harbor Freight Sandblasting cabinet since I am working on three 1951 tractors. Sandblasting the parts and trays makes it so much easier and cleaner. Then I paint the parts with Anti-rust paint you see advertised on Tik Tok or Facebook. That stuff really work well.
very nice. We have one as well but it has forks on it. So much harder to do any work on it. I'm not very good at mechanics but we have replaced the fuel filters and fuel pump as well with the help of a friend to help bleed it out. Great tractor.
I am a subscriber to your awesome channel and greatly enjoy your videos. This one with your precious little boy was especially entertaining and enjoyable. I used to take my son to work with me on the road when he was your little boy's age and he knew the difference between a pipe wrench and a "crescent" wrench by the time he was 4!! Nothing like having your son help you when you work!! I also learned something (as i usually do) in this video with the use of the drawer liner on the battery holder. Thank you for this great video!!
@@falllineridge I think it will help Wes, but I was surprised you didn't cut it to be about an inch higher than the tray, so that if the battery leaked, it would hopefully contain the acid.
Very good video, I watch all of your videos and this one may be the best. I enjoy watching you and your son, he’s growing fast. The Ford needed the maintenance.
Gotta love old tractors especially the Fords reliable and easy to use and work on. I don’t know what you would do if your little helper quit he surely would be irreplaceable..lol Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless!
There's nothing like old iron. After your restoration, the grin , after the tractor started said it all. I got a kick out of the hands on body work. I remember watching your channel before you bought the Kubby, and the Ford worked well. Take care of it, and your boy will be doing the mowing and a few other things with it before you know it. I still wish I had my IH 350 Utility, but I'll settle for my Kubby B 2601, when it gets here in October.
Thanks very much for the video, but this brings back happy memories, though I'm not sure if I should say this but I came to your channel soon after you put out a video called 'Doing THIS can make your tractor last 50 years!'...which helped me getting to grips with my Ford 3600, so thanks for that too. Look forward to your grass cutting video.
I picked up some battery cleaner at Walmart the other day and it works well. You spray iron, let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse it off. I also got some terminal protector made by the same folks. MIT seems to work real well. I used to use baking soda, too, but I like this stuff, better.
We have a Tractor that is Identical to that one. My Dad's Uncle bought it New just before I was born. Right now it has some steering problems right now. My Brother-N-Law put a front End Loader on it and I think He screwed it up. My Uncle tried to rebuild the power steering cylinders with washers for a kitchen sink, it worked, but that was years ago and it probably needs rebuilding again. Dad has a 4610 that He uses now. We have not had My Uncle's Tractor running in several years.

Oh yeah, no way I could work on the Kubota this easy. Sad how things have changed.
@@falllineridgethat wire brush is to big get a smaller one 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know why but I love old tractors!
That's exactly why I bought one last month. Ford 3000, not sure what year yet. We're sanding, painting and fixing or replacing stuff on it.
It's a diesel's. Trying to get a manuel or it, to make sure ordering right parts.
Who doesn’t

Me too! Don't tell my mom's husband though, or he's gonna expect me to buy his "restorations" 😂😂😂
You are the first, in a very long time, to show wiping the oil filter contact area for the new oil filter! Great work. It's in the details...
You have many people watching every detail
That sure is a nice old tractor!!! Make those memories!!! Little man will never forget..
I love how your son is by your side, experiencing new things! Your patience level reminds me of how God is patient with us when we ask question after question. I'm glad he made us curious!
I like the way you involve the youngster encourage him and not yelling at him. Leads him be brave in later life and do the same work.

The first vehicle I ever drove as a young buck. I worked this little tractor hard for many years & have many fond memories...

It does not get any more American than this ! . this is what dreams are made of . Thank You for sharing Sir !.
Just remember there are a thousand old tractors but that little boy is one of a kind. Keep giving him the kind of attention he deserves.
It's great seeing those old tractors still in use. They have been great work horses.
Your kid is so cool. You have a life long helper. Keep him outside.
good thing you had such a great supervisor to help! what a cutie ! !!
He keeps me straight.
Good old Ford tractor, hard to kill. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
Indestructible
That tractor ride was the best thing you did. The others were important, but the ride will be remembered for a long time.
He loves him some tractor rides.
I think it's adorable how the little helper talks 🙂
That picture of you and your Son on the old Ford is priceless 👌. From the Swamp (Fl.)blessings.
Great video!, I miss my 65 3000, but I've got a 66 4000!, good old tractors!.
Another excellent vlog. Love seeing you and your son.You make a great team. M. Belinda Davis in NC
Take good care of the old lady, I spent many a happy hour on a 4000 and they are now collectors items and growing into money.

Loved the video, them old ford tractors are awsome running tractors
Love the happy look on the little man while he rides with Daddy on the tractor.
I am a 71 yr old woman. I love bees, sawing logs, woodworking and tinkering. Whats not to like about your channel?
Yours son's vocabulary is amazing for being 2!

That old tractor is aweome and when you fired it up that sound s awesome
Satisfying!
Great video, your son is adorable. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Brings back happy memories..grew up in and out of farming..some of my favorite tractors to run are the old Ford's or International Harvester
Awesome 3000, thanks for sharing, I am going to watch your previous video's of this tractor
Reminds me of me and my dad some 60+ years ago. Treasure the memory and the image.
Great experience for the young boy. My children's fondest memories were riding around in their grandfather's back yard riding in a wheelbarrow with grandaddy pushing them. Those memories will last a lifetime.
Zippity Doo Dah, you're back 💃💃💃 We've missed you!! Your little boy is so precious. I love his sweet little voice!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Dianne!
That blower is a handy tool. The tractor looks like dad old 68 3000 he had. It was a gas model but it did a ton of work on our place
Love that Ford tractor. It fired right up!

That little fellow is a mess. He seems like a sweet boy. Good work I'm a Ford man anyway. God Bless
That sure is a sweet lookin' ol' Ford tractor !
Those Ford tractors were the best!

One day you'll treasure these moments with your boy. And to think you can see them whenever you like.

I really wanted to have it warmed up to change the oil, but I would have had to have somebody pull it off since the battery was dead.
Buy a battery tender unless you are going to use the tractor once a week. They make solar types if you don’t have power in the shed. Good job! Aloha!
Yes, a battery tender is a good thought, check alternator or voltage regulator for over charging!

Nicely restored tractor.u gave it a new life.ohhh!!!! My son do the same but he's a bit more naugty.Great bideo👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m subscribing due to this video. I’ll be purchasing a property that will include a Ford 3000. I’m excited.
I love the last scene, man. Proud little boy !!
That's one heck of a battery for a small tractor. Good job on taking good care of old equipment.
You can put a regular battery in, but I like the look of the big one. Plus it fits in the tray.
Great video, I live watching your boy. I had 5 boys and they were always helping (and more importantly learning). Keep it up.
I grew up on a working cattle farm with two early Ford 5000's...our nearest neighbor had a 3000. Blue ran in our area...!
Tip...POR-15 next time you have to paint over that type of damage. I've used it several times, cures better in humidity and it's amazing stuff.
I invested in getting a Harbor Freight Sandblasting cabinet since I am working on three 1951 tractors. Sandblasting the parts and trays makes it so much easier and cleaner. Then I paint the parts with Anti-rust paint you see advertised on Tik Tok or Facebook. That stuff really work well.
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing. Not long enough.
i have a ‘69 Ford 2000. great tractor. i had to split it last year to replace the ring gear. running like a top.
Good repair job and way to be a good Dad!
