Neighbor I known all my life is selling his Ford 8000. I do not know much about these tractors but here is some info so far. Has less than 300 hours on new tires, has duals, , he is putting in new batteries and said he needs to replace " deisel fuel return lines" cause the leak. Says for some reason the pto does not work. He never needed it so he never looked inot it. Hydraulics works good. Apparently runs good. Has a cab , it is an older kinda squarish one. He said he would like to get "around" $4500 for it. I have heard these are fairly good tractors. I cant find a decent IH for the money i want to spend. He also has a ford 5-18 plow and a 16' folding feild cultivator I can grab for a couple hundred extra. Can ya ll shoot me some advice on this machine, Any ideas what the common issue is on the PTO not working on these. Thanks Dave

Price sounds alright. I don't know too much about the workings of the 8000 so I can't help you on fixing the PTO.... but be careful of that. Make sure that there are no problems with the Dual Power in either high or low once it's warmed up and under load. If the PTO problem is pressure related, the DP will be affected. Otherwise, the PTO problem could be control valve related or clutch related. Probably no big big money issues considering the asking price, but it would involve a rear split for the PTO clutch.
Otherwise, keep oil in the Simms injection pump and the engines are tough and easy on fuel. Good luck.

Dave, there were quite a few of those Ford 8000s around here several years ago. They were good tractors, plenty of power, and easy to operate. I don't remember that any of them ever had any unusual mechanical problems. None of those Fords ever went into the shop any more often than any other color of tractor. It sounds like the current owner is representing the tractor very honestly, and the asking price is more than fair. I think I would go for it.
