Hey Folks, I desperately need some help identifying an old Ford tractor I recently purchased. The person I bought the tractor from thought it was a Ford 3000. It was only after locating a Ford 730 Loader and driving the 500 miles round trip to Tn that I realized, I'm most certain that I don't have a 3000. The Loader was removed from a 3000 and that tractor was much smaller than mine. When I arrived home and started pulling some measurements, the loader will need some serious modifications. The frame appears to be too short to reach my rear axles by at least a foot or so, I will have to weld on some hefty extensions. I noticed that about 6" was because of the heavy chunk of steel my tractor has located over my front axles (below the radiator shroud)that doesn't have a hole for my splined shaft to even go thru. I will have to take the cutting torch to make an access point. Someone else mentioned they thought I had a 4000 Row Crop given the tall height of the tractor. The Row crop would explain why there isn't a hole for the splined shaft up front, given it should be a field tractor. It is an 8 speed, 3 Cyl Diesel. The stamped numbers from the right side block (behind the starter) read: 5D 30 B 3 and 4 stamped on top of each other,then 1012C 10823551 16 Any help with identifacation of this tractor would be greatly appreciated!

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
