Finally got my 3000 diesel all together & running. Only got to drive it around the driveway this evening before church, but I"m looking forward to using it. Glad to get it going, as it & my Chinese compact are the only ones I"ve got running right now. 8700 goes into my shop Friday so I can (finally) get ready to hard blok it. Hoping to have it on its feet next week. TW 35 started knocking loud last week & pouring out enough blowby that it looked like it was on fire. It"s next in line after 8700. Suspect loose sleeve, but have to tear down to see. Need to work in the 8000 sometime, too. It"s got water in the oil. Age and use has a way of catching up to things... On the upside, got all my crops in! Enough crying.
Different subject: How do I know if my 3000 has thermostart? How can you tell if the intake manifold has the heating element installed in it - any visible clues? Also, the throttle won"t stay open, it creeps back towards idle. Is it a simple matter of tightening the nut on the bottom of the throttle rod? The 8000 has a friction disk. This 3000 is my first and only small Ford.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
