That big ole rust spot is usually about the middle of travel where the PS piston rod is at when the wheels are straight. Most of the time you’re driving straight as opposed to being in a turn so more wear occurs there than anywhere else on the piston rod, or so I’ve been told.
Been waiting on this video, just need parts numbers to rebuild mine on F901 prapane tractor my uncle bought new Cly leaks a tad but the control unit leaks pretty bad now Would you list the kits and those springs??
Thank you. The only parts that were replaced were the seals, cylinder rod, and spool valve. The seals were just over the counter parts and valve and cylinder rod were custom made at local machine shops. Everything else is original.
In your video you state '' The large end of the spool valve and seal is to be installed on the cylinder end of valve". In my shop manual it reads to " Install the large seal journal end of the control valve pointing toward the sleeve and flange end of control valve" and this is the way I observed it as I was disassembling,,,, after new seals and reinstalling, on start up mine runs away turning to the left and hard turning back to the right.

@danielgeorge2735 Not sure what manual you are using. I have the red shop manual and it says "install a new seal at each end of the valve spool with cup side in. Make sure the seal with the largest I.D. is positioned at the cylinder end of the valve housing". This is how mine came apart. As for it turning to the left, mine did that as well. When I took it back apart the 1/8" pin broke on me and had slid out of it grove causing the valve to be pushed in the valve housing causing fluid to be pushed into the cylinder making the wheel turn. Once I replaced the pin, the wheels held straight. Didn't film any of that though.
@@chickenhousemechanic Thanks for the reply,,,, I have a I&T manual I purchased from Tractor Supply. I know how after market manuals do get the wording wrong some times., I want to check. As the turning left on me,,,, I took it back a part yesterday before I read your reply,,, sure enough, the pin had slipped and was broken,,,,, once again Thanks for the reply and video.
@danielgeorge2735 yeah I had an I&T manual for my 8n. I threw it away. Owners manual was more informative. When I started working on my 861 I bought the Ford service manual for it. Worth every penny. Glad you got it fixed. I know for me, when I cranked mine and it turned left I had a WTF moment. I was just glad it was an easy fix.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience

Your videos are really great. Is there actually a video about the gear hydraulic pump from the Ford 4000
I have this video about the hydraulic pump on this tractor.

Good job ! I did this rebuild about 4 years ago. I would be interested in where you found all of the rplecement parts

I need other kit to reseal my unit, box on shaft is leaking and I used my last kit on my other tractor a few years ago

Hi, great job on restoring tractor can you tell me where you got the fuel filter assembly and the part number? Thanks
Fuel filter assembly is original to tractor. Dont know of any reproduced or aftermarket market ones. The filter is a napa gold 3165.
Mine leaks on my 900 . It drips out end with ball joint and tie rod end?. What causes that.
The cup seals on the ends of the spool valve will cause that leak.
