looks like the date is scratched off. You are looking at the correct tag. if you an make it out? the second line, second block is the date of manufacture. reads as year, month, day and shift made.

Sorry Guys, I took the pics from my Iphone I thought the pics could be enlarged when opened, I will get better pics, ASAP! I'm curious to see what year this is wiring is a mess couple of cylinders are leaking tires are in bad condition, e was starting it with ether in the morning he said it didn't have glow plugs. But I see it has a block heater. I don't understand people not taken care of something this expensive.

Thanks for the help :)

Found this by punching Ford d5011f into a google search engine. Its a start.


The D5011F breaks down as follows:
D = 4000 series
50 = industrial
1 = diesel
1 = no pto
F = 4/4 T-C power reversing

Found this as well...its the layout of the name plate. I put the ser# and mdl# as best I can tell they are from your pic. Looks like you are missing or need to decipher rather...your Engine code and transmission code.


Tractor Number C382986 (which is also the serial number)

Model D5011F Unit (Unit is the completed tractor date code, IIRC)

Engine

Transmission Rear Axle

Hydraulic Pump Hydraulic Lift

I also found that a tractor with ser#C416705 was built in 1974, so since your ser# looks to be C382986 I bet you are going to be very close to a 1974 model year tractor. Matter of fact the example above was built Feb 02 1974 so maybe a 1973 model.
