Changes often!
I just took in trade a nice older TLB. I don't know much about these older Fords, so I could use some help. I looked at "The Vintage Ford Tractor Resource" on the web to try to decipher the model/VIN number, but I still wasn't able to figure it out. The numbers stamped on the pad behind and above the starter are 41301 and then 28569. The later number has a diamond before and after it which I think means it has cast iron cylinder sleeves. The loader is a 720 and the hoe is a 723. It has power steering and is gas. It has a PTO but no three-point. The hoe/loader is sub frame. It was blue early in it's life.

Any help would be appreciated.

Might be a conversion. Hoe looks like a Wain Roy. Probably has a hydraulic pump on the crank snout...
