    Ford 3000 Serial Number

    5M6C is the transmission production date and you are correct Dec 6 1965 afternoon shift. M225 is the tractor production date Dec 22 1965 just in a different order. Yes B817799 is the serial number and B means Basildon England plant. The serial numbers starting with 8 were for domestic use...

    Transporting a 3000 trans and rear end

    And to complete the picture 6B9C is the date code for February 9 1966 afternoon shift. The serial number is C130677 which fits in with the unit code (date code) and C means assembled in the USA. The 6C8 appended to the serial number probably is an additional date code for March 8 1966 but I've...

    Ford 601 Workmaster

    When that happened to me it was the unloading valve not moving in the bore. Probably time to pull the lift cover, get a reseal kit and a service manual and check things out.

    Ford 3000? Ford 3600? Maybe both! Please advise the tractor green horn!

    Model CN253C: CN2: 3600, Narrow Chassis 5: Diesel Engine, Horizontal Exhaust 3: Live 540 PTO C: 8X2 Speed manual transmission (4X1 + High/Low) 3600 is listed as years 1976- 1981 so I think Ultradog is a little off on the date - 0C31B: 0 : 1980 C: March 31: 31st of March B: Day Shift...

    Ford 861 No Hydraulic Lift

    You're on the right track, pull the pump and take a look. In my case I had a section of teeth broken off the DRIVEN GEAR as shown in the picture below. I rebuilt the pump and everything's been fine ever since.

    Engine number decoding please.

    Sean, just to show where the P comes from before the switch to D below is a doc from Ford dated 12/65. Also I see a date code of 0B01 from the picture which would be Feb 01, 1970.

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Tony, Thanks for taking the time. It was a pleasure hearing from you knowing that you have first-hand knowledge from some of the Wain-Roy people. I reread the book sections relating to Wain-Roy's Ford relationship and came out more confused. I always assumed that the picture I previously...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Do you have the book "Wain-Roy and the Invention of the Backhoe"? Wain-Roy designed and manufactured the 713 for Ford. Below is an excerpt, credit to the book mentioned. It shows the first production unit in 1958. Eventually there was drama and bad blood between Wain-Roy and Ford as told in...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    First good to hear from you again. I was talking specifically the Model 840, I know the 134-based tractors often had the 4-speed transmission from the beginning of production. The original lineup for the 800s was 820, 850, and 860 as depicted in the brochure below - no 840. Also I went out and...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Ford didn't make the 840 before 1957 (which some people find hard to believe). I have a 1957 840 with 19-97 loader and 713 backhoe. It was made just prior to the switchover to the 8X1- Series. My serial number is 144875. I have yet to find an 800-Series tractor with a higher serial number...

    Loader model

    Here's the DUAL seal kit page from Baum Hydraulics with dimensions and seal type information. I guess you could measure plus open up a cylinder for seal ID and see what matches. If in doubt you can call Baum.
