I'll try to take a pic or two after the sun comes up. Supposed to meet a friend at the Dacusville Farm Days today. (Got to work tomorrow.) I was in hopes of running into somebody that could help me there. I have service/maintenance manual but it doesn't address this problem. It just says to clean the suction filter (one I cant get out) and replace the return filter (already on the bench) every 2400 hours or every two years! This tractor is 41 years old and I am almost sure this is the first time. :-) Not sure how many hours.
Do you have a Ford 2000? What year? Gas or deisel? Mine is a gasser.
