[AT] Ford 3000

[Mike Sloane]

According to my "blue book", that is one of the first year's production 
- 1965.

As far as locating your friend's problem, I think he is going to have to 
get a copy of the service manual and go through the hydraulic section; 
it sounds like one of the valves either has crud in it or is in need of 
an overhaul/replacement. I did a quick Google search, and it looks like 
SSB Tractor has the manual for sale, but you can also download all/part 
of it for free.
