We have several Ford tractors, an old Farmall and one old, nonworking John Deere.
We have a crappy JD Gator that has never worked properly- the plugs keep getting fouled. Won’t be an issue for us to discontinue using JD. And shame on them.
Ours is an old Ford 2000 3-cyl diesel. Late 60s or early 70s vintage.
Water pump ceased up on it, so now I have a big job to do. Gotta remove the radiator to get at it, since the fan and water pump are all one assembly using the same pulley.
I’m not looking forward to that job, but I’ve gotta do it before too long.
Makes me long for a new, or slightly used, Kubota.
