5600 Ford

[djayolson]

Hello!
I'm new to this site, but was hoping to get some help. I'm trying to rebuild a tractor that was nearly completely torn down and want to get the correct owners manual. First trying to get it properly identified. It is a Ford 5600. Can't find the serial number, but these numbers were on a metal tag under the hood:

Model Number: LA254C
Unit: 7Jo6B (not sure if it is the letter o or number o)
Tractor number:0539997

Can anyone help to identify the this so I can then get the right owners/repair manual for it? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

Hi and welcome to the forum, Jay. :welcome:

I'm going to move your thread over to the Ford section to see if we can get you some answers. Best of luck with the rebuild!

check the trans bellhousing flat aft of the starter. warning.. may have thick paint covering the numbers

If the unit numbers utilize the same coding as my 4610:
7 = 1977
J = 10th month of the year = October
06 = 6th day of the month
B = B shift
I assume B shift is the 2nd shift.

Congrats on the purchase. Post pictures when you can.

There are some very knowledgeable Ford tractor owners on this forum.
