In Reply to: 71 ford 3500 backhoe loader posted by orco on June 17, 2016 at 19:04:37:

I don't know much about the hoe but can help
some with the tractor.
The chassis is basically a 3000 with a heavy
front end and steering. If it's a gasser the
engine would be a 158 ci = about 37 hp.
Dry, outboard brakes are adequate but
nothing to brag about. Front end is kind of
a hodgepodge of parts from a 5000, 4400 and
a 4000 with side arm power steering. Very
simple, very stout, very reliable.
You say it has a clutch so not an SOS or 4
speed with torque converter - both of which
I would shy away from.
Most likely a twin stick 6X4 = bullet proof.
Serious PIA to put points in a 3 cylinder
Ford, especially with a loader on it.
Never, EVER trust the hours on a 65-75 Ford
unless you see run it long enough to see the
hours click over With Your Own Eyes!
Tachs/clocks failed early and often.
They made a big sister to that tractor.
3550. Shared all the same tin, steering,
front axle, hard nose, transmission. But
3550 was built on a 4000 platform = heavier
rear end, wet brakes (outstanding) bigger
201 ci engine ~ 50 hp.
I don't follow/know the TLBs much. Follow
that era Ford in general though and would
say price is in the zone.
Wish I could find a junker 3500 or
preferrably, 3550 - just the tractor.
Got a project in mind and want the front end
and steering from one.
If you need a place to store that machine,
or practice with, I know a place about 6 mi
south of Aitkin.
It would be completely safe there. Wink

Today's Featured Article - 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. ... [Read Article]
