Its somewhere irrelevant, may be the Rangie thread?

Yep

Thats the Ford 7000 that has to be split. I shoehorned a BSD444T engine into it a few years ago. Goes like stink but hard on clutches and rear tyres

An example of what I need,
Gantry Crane.pdf (117*K - Free Ebook Download

After a few phone calls, I ended up going for a little drive and getting some deasent steel for the channel. Don't want it to bend Called in for a beer on the way home and ended up with the red bit as well


With the height restraints of 10' in my work shop, I'm making it adjustable. 9' 10" to approx 12' 6". It will handle 5 ton pinch weight so will be plenty strong enough with two one ton chain blocks on it.






Just have to make the A frames and find some wheels/hubs.


This looks like bad news

The 120 has an oil leak
Be up for a selector shaft, bush and seals. May have borrow a box wile this one is out.

Hey Tony
One thing I respect sod busters for,they are the MASTERS of invention and fixing stuff on the go.
Well done!!!

Split the 444T powered Ford 7000 today and fitted the clutch kit in inc spigot etc. Pita in these, as have to remove the flywheel
Was a bugger of a job as the tractor has been modified over time. The loader frame was a nuisance
















Also split the old Ford 5000 as needs a clutch as well etc.





The 5000 is in a bad way, splines are all flogged out The main shaft is out, and real bad. The shaft in view is the PTO and hydrolic pump drive and is also stuffed. Big job now as have to split the main box off the rear end to get the bugger out. They are a real sod to refit.
As I will have to remove the foot platforms etc , may as well repaint the tractor and fit new decals etc.

Still have the 7840 (Modern tractor) to do as well(Back end)
