ford 3600

[rookery]

morning all,

Any ideas on what I should be paying for a 1977 ford 3600 with front loader, no power steering in good nick don't know the hours.

Does it have the "bubble" cab or just a lambourne or Ford safety - I think they are worth a bit less. Around 3k if it's a good one, great wee tractors, would be better with power steering for the loader though.

You can all ways fit an after market power steering kit, what make of loader has it fitted will make a price differences

They are a great little tractor my old boss had 1 and with a large wieght box on back would push a lot of brash up on to fire, it did has wide tyres fitted to front aswell but no power steering so was hard work.

power steering will be good £2000 to£3500

Not if you fit this one S.60747 Ford New Holland 2600/3600/2000/3000 Model | Power Steering Conversion Kit | Based in UK

Spot on with price

Be careful with front loaders, as 2000,3000,3600

Have a cast front axle which was prone to snap with heavy weight, (round silage bales)

The 4000, 4600 etc had heavier front axle,

Apart from that there spot on, I have a 3000 on processor goes great

A round silage bale on the front of a 3000 would be asking for trouble anyway! We've got one and I'm sure the loader would physically lift, but I doubt the bale would leave the floor (the rear wheels would come up first!).

that's why they used to snap!

4100 had same front axle as a 3000 and the back end of a 4600,

They were worse

We once snapped 4610 4wd with trima loader, brand new, only was in yard 2 hour's, old tractor hadn't even got back to dealers yard,

Although the smaller fords were less susceptible to this problem, I would still avoid them for this reason. Even the newer reinforced x blocks didn't totally cure the problem.
