Description
If you’ve ever tried to start a cold Ford tractor and reached for that control knob on the radiator grille, only to find it’s cracked or gone altogether, you know how frustrating it can be. This handy little knob controls your choke, lighting, or other functions right there on the front of your tractor where you can easily reach it. It’s one of those simple parts that makes a big difference in how your tractor runs and operates.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement for the original knob – fits exactly where the old one came off
- Controls choke function for easier cold starts on gas engines
- Also used for lighting controls and other radiator grille functions
- Quality construction that handles weather and daily use
- Fits both the older models from the late ’30s through ’64 and the later series
Built for the Long Haul
This knob fits Ford tractors spanning from the classic 1939-1964 models all the way up to the popular 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 7000 series through 1975. Whether you’re running an old 9N for hay work or using a 4000 series for daily chores, this is the same type of knob that came on these tractors from the factory. These machines were built to work hard on farms across the country, from small vegetable operations to medium-sized row crop farms.
Made to Last
The original knobs on these Ford tractors were built tough, but after decades of sun, rain, and constant use, they eventually crack or break off. This replacement is made from durable materials that won’t get brittle in cold weather or fade out in the sun. It’s designed to give you years of reliable service, just like the original did when your tractor was new.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward – the knob threads right onto the control shaft just like the original. Make sure the control shaft moves freely before installing the new knob. If it’s been stuck for years, a little penetrating oil and gentle working back and forth will usually free it up. Having proper choke control makes cold-weather starting much easier on the older gas engines.
