Ford Tractor Help. Model, Year ?????

[rockagibraltar]

Hello fellow and much smarter tractor friends. I have a Ford tractor I aquired from my neighbor, and I have no idea what model or year it is. I have spent the last few hours trying to research it online, and here I am.

There are numbers below the engine I believe on the starter block, and from what I have read, that is all I need to identify the tractor.'

Here are the numbers:

5E10C

51014C

C118830

5L1L

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Soundguy, even if the OP doesn't respond to thank you, I just want to say you did a great job of explaining numbers. You'd think at least he would say thanks, but . . ..

I just hope he got what he needed.

5000 are nice machines.. I hope he enjoys it.

i have a late 75 myself. so late that it is simialr to a 5600 in that it is common sump.. not multi sump.. that one was a head scratcher when i was changing the rear sump oils..
