Hello, I’m new to this forum and to ownership of an 8630, which I am looking for some parts and answers to a few questions.
I served my time on fords but left in 88 before the 30 series came out so learning fast about the “Funk” gearbox!
It was bought with an “ internal noise” this turned out to be the FWD drop box idler which was totally knackered, it has damaged the upper drive gear and lower driven gear so some of my questions are:
Does anyone know of an 8630 that may be getting broken up ?
The manual I have does not show me how the main drive gear comes out ! Do I have to split between back end and gearbox to get this drive gear out ?
Any idea where I can get decals for this and the rubber mudguard extension parts ?
The tractor is very “ straight” and not bad for sever rust due to living in Europe till 2012 mostly just surface rust in cab apart from 1 tiny hole in a door I have changed a few parts already and have more ongoing Rpm sensor replaced gearbox input sensor changed,
Currently tractor is split to replace the gearbox input seal and rear crank seal. The drop box was re fitted to allow the gearbox to be tested at greater speed and all gears seem to work ok although the control block will be getting stripped to check for debris as I am sure it could be smoother on the change into 10 or 11 ! Not managed to do gearbox calibrations yet as new input sensor wasn’t in before I split it,
Any pointers for parts would be very helpful thank you.
