Looked at a 3600 Ford.....

grayrider · Apr 12, 2016

Any 3600 Ford owners out there? Looked at one this evening with a 6' finishing mower, the lady wants $4000 for it, ran out good, mower cuts grass good as well. I don't need the mower and would sell it immediately if I buy the tractor. My question is about the rear wheels, it has 24" rear wheels with 14-9 tires, I always assumed Ford used 28" wheels only on these 3000 series tractors, was 24" an option on these 3600 Ford's ?

You dont mention if its gas or diesel,either way there good,mine is a 1979 diesel, has been a very reliable tractor. I also have 14.9-24
tires with power adjust rims.Dont loose any sleep over those tires, they will do just fine.

My brother had a 3000 a couple years ago with 14/9-24's, it was a English model with the fenders the attached to the running boards.

For an average 3600 with a decent mower that
would be a good price. Depending on tires,
tin, blow by, etc one would probably pay $5K
here for just the tractor.
Gas or diesel would sell about as quickly
but the gasser might be a bit more popular
here.
I haven't looked.at 3600 specs for a long
time but know for certain 14.9x24s were
optional on a 3000 so will bet they were
also for 3600.
Wheel weights will be a bit harder to find
for 24s but they are out there.
Those are outstanding small tractors.

It is a diesel tractor with power steering, cant believe I failed to mention that, think I'm gonna go ahead and get it and if I don't like it then resale it, if it turns out to be a keeper then I may sell my 5000 Ford as its a beast to haul around......

They have brakes ? I thought that was just a foot rest .
, LOL .

Has anybody used the 2" wide shoes from a 3500 on the other 3000 series ? and noticed any real improvement ? I noticed ( after reading a previous post ) I had 1/4" inside and outside of the wear pattern inside my drums so it looks like they would fit .

I think 14.9 24's are only about 2 inched shorter then 13.6 28's.
