Nice tractor, we had a 4000 like that when I was a kid. Handy little tractor. My dad and grandpa restored many John Deere and Farmalls, only Ford was a Jubilee. I helped with many and restored a Farmall B as an FFA project, so I appreciate all the hard work you've done.
Found your video from the Facebook marketplace posting. I'm rebuilding a Cub cadet 1650. I haven't done this kind of work in a long time. However, after watching the level of effort you put into rebuilding this Ford, I need to quit complaining and get to work. Great job. Inspiring. And thanks for the copper exhaust idea, body fills and primer tips.
Great job. I've got a 1964 Ford 2000 1st gen with a 134 CI 4 cylinder that I believe is the same engine you have. I need to rebuild the engine as I've got a lot of smoke from the exhaust. I may give you a shout.
I had a ‘64 4000 diesel that i bought just to restore. I ended up not having the time or money to do it properly so i just sold it because i was in need of a 4x4 tracor. Seeing this video makes me wish that i would have kept it. That is one of my favorite tractors.
Thank you ! They are very useful tractors , mine is handy as heck ! Not to heavy to haul to the shows either ! People really seem to like it ! Hope u get another one someday ! Thanks for watching , check out my Red tractor videos as well , I have several videos of both of them earning there keep ! Lol
Clear coat🤔what a great job. Restored a 58 800 what a fun project. My father in law rebuilt the motor about 45 years ago and didn’t get over 45 hours in that period. My little brother,well my younger brother has it now so I have started “lookin” fo something Thanks for some great ideas.
Thanks for the comment ! They made this one in gas and diesel , in ‘65 when the body style changed I believe most all of them were 3 cylinder diesel after that , this one has lots of power !
Great job showing and telling, nice job on the tractor. I am doing a 801 Ford tractor it is hard to do when you never had done one, fixing all the bad parts big job. well again great job fixing on your old Ford,wish me luck cause I need it . Have a good one see ya next time see ya bye.
thank you! im eyeing my next project ! which is kind of rare here! it's a fordson super dexta which is almost the same as our ford 2000 but its pretty neat !
thank you ! thats awesome yes there a great little tractor to work with ! there also light enough to throw on a trailer and take to a show without having to own big heavy truck/trailer to move them ! thanks for the comment ! check out my other tractor videos and more of this one !
thank you ! the tractor belonged to a good friend of mine who passed away , so I made sure tractor didnt go to the scrap yard ! He also loved the fair so I made sure it made it to the fair ! I also have his name on the nose cone ! which i leave out of any videos , there is many other videos of this tractor doing some work! thanks for watching!
Really nice looking job you did !!!! I was back & forth throughout the vid , did i miss what you did to correct the compression issue , or did you explain/show it . Always nice to put in the hard work , and get a great result like you did . Thanks for the vid.
Thank you , it had rings stuck in 2 cylinders, not completely stuck but partially stuck in grooves so weren’t making a good seal, so I did all new rings and bearings had the head checked out
Nice work. Beautiful machine. Did you happen to restore the parking brake? I recently purchased a 1963 Ford 4000 Diesel and neither side has a brake lock. I'd be interested in adding the brake locks back if I could find the parts.
Hello , the grey is Mesa gray from Amazon u can buy qts or gallons it’s all ready to spray just add the hardner , the blue was actually a rust oleum Color I found in qts , thinned and added some hardner , I was also able to get a couple spray cans for up underneath couple tough spots to get at ! Lol

Never seen a petrol engine in a Ford 4000. Didn't know that Ford made one. Always a diesel I thought.
Every day's a school day.

great job, the ford tractors never get enough love

Good work on that. Spent many, many hours on the diesel version of that tractor.

just saying, i feel a down swept horizontal exhaust would look so much better.
It was that way originally, but I never liked them lol !
What a nice tractor and what a great job you did with it's restoration. Makes me miss my old 4000 of this body style that I sold years ago.
thanks ! they are pretty nice tractors ! thanks for the comment!

I did have to free them up but didn’t need any new parts for the parking brake and thank you !
Greetings, what color did you use for the white/gray?
Hello , the grey is Mesa gray from Amazon u can buy qts or gallons it’s all ready to spray just add the hardner , the blue was actually a rust oleum Color I found in qts , thinned and added some hardner , I was also able to get a couple spray cans for up underneath couple tough spots to get at ! Lol
Round what was the cost I have a800 ford thanking about restoring
Well if your doing it all yourself it can still be in the 3 k range without a problem , even more probably
Is that a 6 volt system?
No it’s all 12 volt now
I'd love to restore my Daddys Ford 4000 slect- o- speed 10 speed with 2 reverse gears. Your looks alone like it other than gear shifter
yes they would be the same other than the transmission ! thanks for watching!
No😂🎉❤
Awesome job! I'm impressed
Thank you!
