Need help identifying a Ford backhoe.

[jptait]

I have a Ford back hoe, but I have no clue what model it is. I have uploaded a picture of the tag under the hood.
The tractor number is c689691
The model is cu411k
The unit number is 2f01b

Thanks in advance.

There are some very knowledgeable Ford guys on here. Hopefully they'll chime in. If you don't get an answer in a couple days, start a thread in the Ford tractor section.

While we wait, try this Google search information.

The standard backhoe for the 3400/3500 was the 10 foot model 730.poer

C = power class, eg. 3000, 3100, 3400, 3500., 340 etc
U = Utility
1 = Diesel
1 = 8 Speed
K = PTO, probably None

This is tractor only, the loadet would be a Model 340, Backhoe 730

Don't remember so much anymore, been a long time since I was involved.
Serial number ranges for year are approximate as they were pulled before production was scheduled so late one year and early following year could have some overlap.

I probably should have elaborated more I need to know what the model for the whole machine is. I ran the numbers on the hoe and it came back as a 765. I searched the unit number and found a thread that listed what I believe is a different model but had the same unit number. The unit number came back as a build year of 1982.

Blue now but It might have been repainted.

How did you determine you have a 765 backhoe? Also what is the loader # ? it should be on a plate on the inside of the loader arms, where the support plate is welded.

I ran the numbers I found on the data plate on the hoe. It was on the left side of the machine near the main pivot. It's a pretty big stick. Seems a little too big for the machine. I'll have to get the loader number tomorrow. I attached the only picture that shows most of the machine that I currently have. I can take more tomorrow.
