Another UNKNOWN FORD TRACTOR ..HELP PLEASE

[SuperA]

I had posted Pics in the General Tractor Forum before see this FORD Forum... I just Picked the FORD Tractor up from a neighbor. Story is, she was basically pushed aside when they got their new KOBOTA and has been sitting for 5 Years. I decided to take a gamble on it, knowing that the Rear Tires were worth the Price... I Got it for $500 DELIVERED! I am really a IH Man and know Very Little about FORDS. The attached Pic is the ID info under the Hood. I ran the #'s and NONE make any sence at all. I don't know where to look for any other ID #'s. Can anyone help me ID this Tractors Model and Year Please.

I not a square nose guy but looks to be a 4000 LCG (low center gravity)
Here's a site that might be helpfull
FORD CODES and SERIAL NUMBERS

Kirk

 

[RickB]

Still a 4110.

 

[LD1]

Link kirk posted has all the info. Model code is D11223c
D....68 or newer 4000-series
11.....LCG (low center of gravity
2.......Gas
3.......Live PTO
C.......8-speed trans.

2J26b is the units build date
2 = 1972
J = Sept
26 = 26th
B = dayshift

Serial number confirms the date. 1972 started with C327 and ended with C367

So..............you have a 1972 ford 4000. Nice tractor if you get her running

so.. no gear reduction rear axle.. and dry brakes like a 3000, not to mention the radius rods.

how much benefit is there in one of these over a 3000.. 17 ci ?

Ya, it looks exactly like my 3400..

Other than a handful of ponies, no advantage. And the LCG part is less thna ideal for some jobs.

 

[Soundguy]

Yikes.. 175 vs 192...??

Hmm..

 

[RickB]

1972 should be a 201. Big cubes :cool2:

 

[Soundguy]

Ahh. Ok, wasn't sure if 201 was out before the 4600.

Thanks

Thanks

Diesel 3 cyl 4000 series were 201 from 1965. Gas 4000 series were 201 when the blocks went away from screw in frostplugs -- '68 or so.

 

[Soundguy]

Ahh ok.. So same time the 232/256 on the 5000 probably.

You know what I always wondered about.. On the prior models..

134 CI gas/lpg. 144ci diesel, 172ci gas,lpg,diesel.

Why the 144? But no change to the 172?

These are the things that keep me up at night

 

[RickB]

Only a guess but I bet the 134D (in development) was so enemic they had to open it up a little to get some power out of it.

Great job getting her running...Now take the mask off

You got a steal on that tractor, and have a feeling you will be impressed with the Ford 3 cylinders low rpm torque and pulling power.

Great score :thumbsup:

Probably was about like a diesel n.

The 172d, iirc, is rated less hp than a 172 gasser, especially the big manifold/carb hungry ones.
