In Reply to: Ford 8630 and good? posted by JDBrian on January 04, 2008 at 18:23:15:
if i remember right, the 8630 is the old TW series with a Funk powershift box. engines are nearly bullet proof, although excess oil pressure can cause some problems with the relief valve wearing funny and then causing loss of oil pressure. The transmission is fairly reliable, although if you can check to see if previous owners have had transmission updates done, i know there were a few problems with some of the early ones, later ones seem to bee ok. There will be a noticeable gear change between 9th and 10th gear, the transmission shifts gears and shafts resulting in a loud "clunk". I know of TW series tractors with excess of 10000hrs on them with out major problems. MFWD is a plus, it makes the tractor handle better under load, it"s more stable towing heavy weights too especially on the highway, although front tires can wear a lot if doing lots of highway work. One thing to note, we looked at a TW35 several years ago, and once started the drive belts were squealing once the engine was running, the harmonic balancer on the crank pulley was on it"s way out, i walked away from that one, that sort of thing can mean a new crank. I agree with the other post, RodinNS knows a thing or two about Ford tractors.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
