I thought this would be easy to find out but not so much. I bought a 1967 (I think) Ford 2000 the other day and am going over it. The front nose bracket that connects the cowl to the front of the engine block was not attached. I used a 3/8 inch new bolt and it would not grab, so I assumed the holes were stripped. I found a different bolt -- too long -- and it seemed to thread in much better and I think it will hold. I checked the long bolt at the hardware store and I think its a metric M10-1.5 (not sure on the 1.5). So I'm wondering if that tractor is metric. I'll pull a couple of fasteners next time I'm at the farm and do some investigating but thought someone might know.
I've had some problem with the serial number - looks like a "C" followed by 18. So that would mean made in USA and I'd assume its SAE. However, I think one of the tires is original and it says "made in England." It has a CAV fuel injector.
Does anyone know if these were made in both SAE or Metric?
Also, what holds the radiator in place on the top? I see its attached by two bolts on the bottom. It looks like when I get the new bolts in the bracket the radiator fan shroud is going to be rubbing on the generator pulley.
Thanks in advance.
