Routine Maintenance/Specs on a Ford 2000/Super Dexta

1. What type of oil filter do I use for a Diesel Super Dexta/Ford 2000? Part #?

2. Do I use the same fluid in both the gearcase and the hydraulics like in an 8N or are they separate? If not, What types should I use?

3. What other filters should I replace regularly? Please provide part numbers.

I would also like your recommendations on sources for the owner's/operators and workshop manuals. I think I need the I&T Ford Collection that includes Dextas and such. I originally ordered the Ford 2000 (FO-31) but it's more for the American-made 2000. My tractor's production date has been quite difficult to identify(see Oscar's site for more information)http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/otimans/
As always thanks for your help and knowledge!

Your capacities are

oil w/filter 8 qts
tranny 3.5 gal
diff/hyd 5 gal and 1 pint
steering gear box 1 pint
coolant-9 qts

Your S-D runs 80W in the gear box and in the diff/hyd.

The diff/hyd check plug is over by the pto shift base, and the filler is the large plug to the right rear of the seat.

The tranny check plug is just above the right foot board and the filler plug is in the tranny case top.

While talking about maitenance what kind of oil do we put in the air filter and how much?Also my fuel filter seem to be different from the one they
show in the fo-18 manual, mine have the retainer bolt on the top. Do you know if it still the same?

regards

The original one is a cartridge in a canister with one retainer bolt coming in from the top side. It's not a spin on type.

I use the same oil in the breather as I use in the engine. It fills up to the hole in the inner pan. I think it's 1 pint.

I Can't count the number of time you helped me so far.

thanks very much

Is it cold weather up there yet???

It's supposed to be about 40-45 here at night over the weekend. It's 96 out here today.

The ones for a NAA or a 600 series are exactly the same as your SD.

When you go to replace the arms be sure to mark the direction of the end pitch on the old arms. If you get the new arms on backwards or upside down they won't ever hook up right or easy to implements and you'll always cuss them and think you have the wrong ones on it.

I just thought of something else here too. Tractor Supply had the last set of arms I got. They cost $28.95 each there, so they were alot cheaper than Ford, Ford was $39.99 each
