Great video. I think my landlords tractor is doing this.... He'll appreciate me finding it and you for showing him.

Thanks Al. It's been a good one. Have had very little trouble with it through the years. I've always liked Ford equipment. Here in Iowa I'm in a minority as this is the middle of John Deere country. Looking forward to your next video. Tc, Mike

Nice repair Mike... A couple of years ago I kept track of the percentage of (shop time) I spent repairing verses building something new and it was about 50-50. The more toys you have the more time you spend repairing them. Either way very satisfying. LOL

Most of my stuff is dated equipment. So maint/repair is a way of life. I try to keep things in good working order as much as possible. I find it challenging. Like you, I get a good deal of satisfaction from this work. I hope things are going well for you. Tc, Mike

That is a nice looking tractor hope that takes care or the leak. I might have a job coming in the shop. A variable speed rotary welding table. Should know next week some time.

Thanks Doc. Sounds like you have an interesting video in the works. I'll look forward to seeing it.

Nice tractor - but like most equipment - always something needs repaired! If that is anything like my truck without power steering it'll be awful heavy! Looks like you got a fix Mike (hopefully). Hope weather not been too cruel to you - pretty rough here for several days. Gets tiresome! - Best.

Thanks Chris, I can't complain too much about the weather, could be much worse. Sounds like yours could stand some improvement though. I hope you are doing well and getting some shop fun in! Cheers Mike

Nice tractor I bet it’s really handy being 4 wheel drive. Alan.

Cool video on the power steering pump. I own a 3930 in the 2 Wheel Dr. version and it’s a really good tractor. How do you like your four-wheel-drive 3930? I have heard that the front differential on the four-wheel-drive’s has a tendency to leak fluid. Have you had this problem with yours?

I've had my 3930 for 10 years now and I love it. Never had any problems with the front dif leaking. Actually other than the rebuilt kit for the power steering and a instrument cluster replacement thats about all I've done to it. I used it on the small square baler and haybine back when I did hay. Now about all it's used for is pulling a two wheel wagon and snow plowing in the winter. Really fuel efficient and starts even below zero F. I also have a 1978 ford 5600 with a loader. We always had Ford and Ford New Holland equipment when growing up in Michigan. Now out here in Iowa if it's not red or green it's considered an off brand. 😊. Tc, Mike

My cylinder seal is leaking and it looks like it’s gonna be a pain in the arse to change out.

My per steering cylinder seal is leaking now too. Been putting it off. Getting tired of adding steering fluid every time I use it. There is a fairly good youtube video of a guy doing one on a ford 3930. I think that is about the same for the 3000 and 4000 tractors as well.

Well it’s been 2 years, I was wondering if that fixed the leak

Everything's dry. I also replaced the o rings in a couple of hose fittings. So far so good.
