Just finished putting my Ford 4000 4x4 back toether Had to split it to clean the hydraulic screen and change the filter. Screen was easy, but getting to that filter is hard. But on a 4x4 model, almost impossible.
This is the last time I do this!
I'm adding a remote hydraulic filter. Will be running hard steel pickup-return lines from the bottom plate at screen to a timing gear driven pump. Loader worked well of just rear hydraulics, so should be better with T-gear pump with twice the flow.
Had weep leaks at transfer to housing gaskets. Seems my bolts were too short, not catching threads deep enough. Longer allen head bolts and Nord-Lock washers and its forever tight.
Have a complete rear end to rehearse the job, but it was 2wd. will be selling that, don't look like it will be needed.
Everything other than filters looked good inside. Pulled pto shaft, new bearing seals and lock washers. My pto clutch and brakes worked good.
What a job! Not one of Ford's better ideas.
