So I picked up this ford 5000 and the bush hog for $800.00. I bought it because I broke the front end bolster on a 5600 with a bucket attachment trying to use it as a bull dozer. The woman I bought it from said her husband bought it six years ago for $5000.00 and used it very little and it had been sitting for over 2 years since he passed away. She said he was always "fiddling" with it and he was not much a mechanic. All of the filters on it were painted blue and she said he did not paint the tractor. So me being me I had to try and get it running instead of scrapping it. Anyway, it has a turbo on it which I am not familiar with and it is a select o speed which I didn't even know existed. I will ask question in another post about that.
So my question in this post is about the turbo. I took it apart and cleaned it up and welded a metal band on the exhaust stack where it was broken. I think the seal is bad in the turbo and it leaks oil on the outside. So will it leak oil back into the valves causing it not to run right and make it hard to start? Can I take the turbo off, change the exhaust manifold, plug the oil ports and change the breather tube back to it's original configuration? Is there anything else? I was told that the pistons may be different and the injectors and I would need to change those if I took the turbo off. Is that possible? If I get this tuned up I am going to try and sell it and then buy a bolster. I downloaded the repair manual on the turbo, the service manual for the tractor and the parts manual. I know parts for the Turbo may be hard or impossible to find.
