hello on a 7000 ford. by removing the cover plate and gear shefters on the transmission, can you see the duel power clutch and the duel power valve ???????
 
Did you not believe my reply to your previous post? If you really want to take that shift cover off, then go ahead, it should only take you about 5 minutes to get that done. Once you do that and look inside, you'll realize that it was a complete waste of your time. All you will see inside is gears and shift forks, but absolutely nothing related to the dual power.

You'd get more done pulling the steering box off and peering down that hole - at least you'd see the dual power housing itself. But that's about all you could do.

If you want the PTO to work with the dual power in high range, figure on splitting the tractor behind the engine - there's no other way around it. I'd suggest getting a manual for it at the same time, that way you won't be asking these kinds of questions.
 
I can repair something broken on the combine with a flashlight in my mouth and a small box of tools in the dark.... I know where to find parts and what is good and what needs replacing when you are in that far....

But I get scared of engines and hyd stuff because I have no experience with those. Funny, my power train mechanic once said he feels helpless looking at a broken combine....

Anyhow, my Ford 5200 needed a new clutch. Mechanic called, said you want to come look, see if we should do more while we are there.... I stopped by and could walk through the middle of my tractor in two places, it was chopped in three. Oh boy that doesn't feel good as an owner.... But it sure was nice getting it back, new clutch, some new dual power parts, good tractor again.

Engine is a little tired, but should serve for a while.

These 5 and 7000 series Fords sure are nice machines, they came from the sweet era of farm tractors. Good features, heavy metal, not many fragile, plastic, or EPA parts. Just good raw function with a few creature comforts showing up. Work hard and don't fall apart for silly stuff.

My 7700 and tw20 are the same. I should retire or relieve the tw20, it was rode hard and put away wet before I got it, and had a lot fail the last 2 years. Hyd pump, engine. But it's simple machine, new pump and a good used engine and goes again.

I'd love to see the pedals on that one... but either he has a real good cab detailer or that one is original. Usually when they get some hours the pedals are worn smooth, the floor mat worn thin... and the rest of the cab just plain wrecked lol

What was it, needed to get to the other end of a shaft to come out, I forget exactly what it was, that it needed the double split on the 5200. I'd read of needing that double split for that item probably here.

I bought the 5200 8 years ago from an auction where the very elderly gebtleman had started taking all his tractors apart. He hadn't gotten to the 5200 or the very very weathered 7700, but the other 4 were in pieces.... Sure has been a well used tractor on my place, probably gets the most hours of any tractor now.

Yea, saw that TW-30 deal, pretty nice. Might like one series newer, got my eye open but last year fell into a land deal and there went my budget..... Now that I need a bigger tractor more so, I can't afford one.....

Always enjoy your comments on the forums.

That tractor looks pretty legit to me. Paint looks original but fresh, as do the decals, sheet metal is straight, upholstery looks mint, armrests look new, etc. I'd say that's a true "barn find".
 
(quoted from post at 10:37:47 03/23/17) Double split is to change the internal PTO shaft....

I had to do the double on my 9000 a few years ago to replace the PTO seal. I have a leak in there again. I wish that I had taken the time before to really clean the rear housing while I was in there.
