Just brought home what I was told by the seller was a 1975 2000 tractor, 2WD, 4 speed, 1 reverse, also included a bush hog. I downloaded a 900+ page pdf file which is apparently a scan of a service manual for 2000 - 5000 second model tractors. It includes a breakdown of the serial numbers for those tractors so I checked the SN on my 'new' tractor and it is: C1048215L5. My interpretation of the SN from that pdf file is that it is a 3000, not a 2000 and that it was built in 1965, not 1975. Can someone verify for me from the SN what the model and year is?
This is my first tractor although I learned to drive on a tractor probably 55 years ago. Have always wanted a tractor and found this Ford for $2000 and with 2700 hours on the meter. It's not a parade queen but it does crank right up and the lift seems to work fine. I'm delighted to have found this forum and hope you will indulge this newbie when I ask strange questions. Thanks very much for any assistance you can provide.
