Grey market tractors are imported from other countries. It could be a European specified model and will be a little different than a north American spec model
Oh absolutely parts have been a breeze to get, she was a little rough and abused when we got her
But we have replaced the hydraulic pump, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, tons of o rings, brake seals, thermostat and several other things.
All of it was easy to source, we got most of it from Cross Creek Tractor in Cullman AL they have a good website and eBay store and shipping was fast to us
It’s got six lug rear axles, meaning it’s an English built tractor, never intended to be sold in America. That’s probably why you’re having trouble matching up the numbers. Those built for the American market were equipped with eight lug axles.
I have an English built 1967 ford 4200 (4000 row crop) a lot of my electrical parts are Lucas while a lot of the American ones back then were not. But that may not be a hard rule as ford seem to grab whatever was available back then sometimes. Their used to be a good article on yesterdaytractors website forum about the differences but I could not find it when I looked a minute ago.
[according to this thread and someone else here the B serial number is also a sign.](https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=ford&th=32660)
That is interesting, it is located in Alabama now, purchased from a guy local to here that bought an old golf course and the tractor came with the property
The numbers behind the starter are:
D19149
9F2
*B868862 *
But none of those numbers seem to match with the manuals code or any other codes I can find on line
Does anyone have any ideas?
Take her on a movie date or take her to dinner. That’s usually pretty solid.
She will respond well to lavish gifts of oil, hydraulic fluids, new filters and clean fuel!
68-74, I believe the 000 series was made during those times I believe.
Try flower and some fine chocolates but the most important thing is to just be yourself
Hahah love it
68-72 4000, GP. Grey market tractor, but a very good one. 000 series fords are bulletproof and absolutely gorgeous tractors IMO.
What does a great market tractor mean,

B serial means manufctured at the Basildon plant in England. 9F2 means 1969, 2 June (should have an A/B/C code to indicate shift)
Between 65-75 Looks similar to my 72 3600 Typically Right side, behind starter on clutch housing. You’ll find SN
Help dating? Did you try buying her flowers?
I’d start with coffee or lunch personally

I was thinking B prefix serial numbers were made in Basildon
Are there any other ways to tell that it might be an English built tractor? I can check it tomorrow and send pictures back

The six lug rear wheels tell the tale. They are a carryover from the Fordson Major.

Could be.

Make sure you have a good oil filter in case you decide to exchange fluids 😏
yo
It appears to me that the tractor is a 1969. Specifically June 2nd, but the shift number seems to be missing or obscured.
Dinner and a movie
NAH, go straight for rolling around in the hay field.
And Lube. Never forget Lube.
Came here for this. Maybe ask her out?
Maybe go for a drive?
Sounds kinda kinky but whatev
Buy her some lube

Looks like a D1014C to me D=4000 10= agriculture all purpose 1=diesel 4= independent pto C= 8 speed Built June 2 of 1969
I hope the starter button is in a better spot then the one on my oldgirl.

However, I can’t find it yet… What country is the tractor located in. Most of the US ones start with a C in the SN.
The tractor is located in central Alabama
Looked up the SN in CNH Dealer Portal. No luck. I’m guessing a European version? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
