I'm assuming your Ford has big injectors - not pencil injectors? That means most of the injector is actually just a nozzle-holder, and the only part that wears is the nozzle tip at the end. I ask simply because I haven't worked on any 3000s. Any Ford I've worked on has big injectors, and to renew all you do is replace the nozzle tip. I just did my neighbor's Ford 6610 and the new CAV nozzle tips were $18 each, brand new, direct from CAV. Twice or three times that if you buy over the Ford-New Holland counter. It's easy to do and just takes a few minutes with the complete injectors on the bench.
You get the correct injector by taking out one of your old ones and getting the number off the nozzle tip (the tip, NOT the nozzle holder). The Ford I just did had # BDLL150S6790 tips. That's the sort of number you'r looking for.
As far as rebuilt versus new - I've never heard of that proposal with big injectors. New tips are not very expensive and I can't think of any good reason for trying to reuse and/or clean up the old tips unless they are obsosete and cannot be bought anymore. I've had to clean up, and lap several oddball injectors - but that's not the case with a Ford tractor.
You pull the injectors out, get the correct nozzle-tip number, buy new tips, and put them in. Take the nozzle-nut off the end of the injector body, take the old tip off, put the new tip on, and put back together. Then stick on a nozzle-rater and check opening pressure. Takes only a mintue or two. It's a quick and simple procedure. I'll also add that some new nozzle tips are dirt cheap. I just bought 8 new nozzles for the Ford 7.3 diesel (Stanadyne) and they were $7 each. Bought 8 new nozzle tips from CAV for my 6.2 diesel and they were $5 each.
In regard to the place on Ebay, I suggest you call on the phone and ask some direct questions. Some of those diesel-sellers are misreprenting what they are actually selling - and often, "new" isn't really new, and "rebuilt" isn't really rebuilt.
In regard to the concept of "you get what you pay for" - that is NOT always true. Sometimes, if you are careful and shop right, you can get much more for less money.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
