The parts turned up today so have got the 7840 back together. Ended up wit all new brake parts as were quite cheap with a mix of genuine and non genuine:) Gotta love these older pommy Ford Tractors as so much is available for them. Its also very scary what interchanges:eek:
All went together well, the brakes were a bugger to bleed as have a self equalising thingy between the two master cylinders.
The Pump pack was a huge job to over haul and involved making special tools to get it apart. Lucky I have a small lathe and mill here.
Warmed the tractor up, re calibrated the transmision and adjusted the potentiometer to specified values.
Adjusted the brakes and away she goes.:D Good for another 12000Hrs:cool:
Just a few more pics as have cleaned the camera out tonight. Some may be repeats but relevant.;)

Tried to shove the old 5000 back together today. All went well till the out put bearing and idler gear:mad:
Wrong bearing and the idler is narrower than the original so have to make a distance piece to take up the slack. Sound familiar? I have come across this often here:( Sometimes its simpler to engineer a solution with older gear than try chasing the correct part:) Have lathe, have mill. It will fit, just doesn't know it yet.:twisted:
Few pics of the 7840 final drive, wet brake disc, hydraulic pump cluster.

The 7840 now runs like a Swiss watch and brakes are very good:cool: Best part, no oil leaks:)

Have racked up 220 hrs since the brake and pump rebuild, so back in for a much needed major service.
I try to do the engine every 150hrs , transmission 600hrs. This will very depending how hard the working conditions.
See the air safety filter is soiled, may have saved the day:) Is a must on machines. Like to fit one to my 120 for this reason.

Finally:D Shoved the old Ford 5000 back together today. Also weighed and measured up a vehicle before ordering new suspension so we get it right;)

New seat, decals etc. Hope to clean it up and repaint next week if the weather takes up.

Some of the left overs:o:D

Weighing the vehicle in question.
Our new bloody Triton.:mad: The suspension has chucked it in at only 20K:o Was crap when new so wont bother with warranty;) All new aftermarket going in. This one has a one piece tail shaft so will be lifting it over 2". I'm weighing the truck so we can get it riding well and valve the shocks correctly.

Thank my deity I don't have to mark anymore, that, but particularly de-horning I don't miss one bit.
Actually I take that back, calving time with too big a bull over them was much worse :( (our first season there was fun.....)
