Modified Faddeev equations that allow the inclusion of irreducible three-body forces in addition to two-body interactions are formulated and the technical apparatus for their solution in momentum space is described. Results for the triton binding energy are obtained with realistic two-nucleon interactions and the Tucson-Melbourne two-pion exchange three-nucleon force and compared with previous calculations. Excellent agreement with the results of other groups is found confirming that the accuracy of present-day techniques for handling three-nucleon forces is very high indeed.
