Some interesting information, I've got a short fleetside box '96 F-150 4x4 with the 300 six, pan is probably the same on this one. Years ago also had the 78 Monza, but with a 4 cyl. To change the fuel pump, you have to unhook that side engine mount and jack the engine up, I was thinking the same about the designers at the time but now that I think about it, it was not so bad, and having an understanding of the engineering world, I'm sure there are challenges to make things work in the automotive industry, like in the construction industry, just that the end user would like to know things like this up front I suppose. I have always said that designers need some field exposure, it certainly would help them, this is especially true in the construction industry. Some items may be mis-coordination and others may be oversight, it happens in a lot of industry, kind of hard to bash the designer unless you have all the facts about it. I do know how it feels to wrestle with something that appears could have been made easier to work on, while out in the elements cold, snow, rain, letting it get you angry never helps in getting it done though, just more work and the sooner you get it done, it's over.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
