3910 FORD TRACTOR

[Jim.ME]

Have you looked in the areas we told you to check

Those numbers you posted are the same a Andy posted in post #4

Good catch on the numbers being copied from Andy's picture. I didn't cross check the actual numbers he posted with the ones in the picture.

 

[Jim.ME]

thank you for the information i still have no idea what year model mine is the s/n has been removed and the person i bought it from did not either'
it runs very good with small hydro leak.i am happy with it , Don

Don,

Back in October you said you would look for the numbers on your next trip to the farm. Have you been back to the farm where the tractor is? Did you look at the area behind the starter (at the yellow arrow in the picture below)? Those numbers are stamped into the casting and would require grinding them off to remove them. Have you looked at that area and removed the paint, which may be needed to see the numbers? Can you post a picture of what you found, even if it shows the stampings were ground off?

The numbers you posted, in post # 18 here, it appears you copied from Andy's picture, that won't help ID your tractor. The picture was to show you what you should find for a numbering pattern in that area behind the starter. The actual info (all 3 sets of numbers like are shown in Andy's picture) which is stamped into your tractor, is needed to give you the answer you are looking for.

75424. All three are non synchro dual range 8 speed F, 2 R. They all look just alike except the 3910 has a dipstick sticking out of the tranny cover. Fighting the Dallas traffic to get over here and back isn't worth seeing what you can see numerous places in posts, ads, and paper pictures. I could take pictures (I'd have to learn how to post them to an email to do that) of them but other than the hood, they all look alike except the 3000 and 3910 have Cat II lift arms...I put the ones on the 3000, with fixed arm positioners like are on the 3910. Makes one heck of a difference hooking up without the arms flopping all over the place. Also have Pat's lift arm adaptors on those two. The 3600 was my last purchase, a couple of years ago and over time I may convert it. Now, with 7 tractors, I can rig each one with the best match implement achieving my goal of not having to change implements every time I want to do something different.

i still have not found solution to year of my 3910 tractor. lots of help thanks to all'
the rear of tractor has this ,CA414C AND

Don,

It shows you have been back and visited this thread since you last posted to it. People are trying to help you identify your tractor but are waiting for information from you to do that.

 

[Don burden]

Right above the two holes on the flat surface are the numbers needed to identify the model and year of the tractor. These numbers also were posted on a tag on the bottom of the hood for the machine. They are the only numbers on the machine that will tell you what you want to know. Post this info and we can find the answers you want.

 

[Don burden]

here are the numbers located on block to right of starter ch4140
3l23
B533020
I hope this will help. this is on top of unit with 2 holes shown by yellow arrow in picture

A photo above shows the numbers and location you should be looking for

 

[Destroked 450]

Model CH4140: there is no 0 in the transmission codes so probably a C
CH4 = 3910 Highway, I have no info on the difference between the highway and all purpose models
1 = diesel engine, this model used the 192 ci engine
4 = 540 independent pto
C = 8x2 manual transmission

Unit # 3I23: there is no I in Ford codes so probably an L
3 = 1983
L = November
23 = date
Tractor was assembled Nov 23, 1983

Serial # B533020: I have yet to find an official listing of serial numbers for European built tractors but am compiling a list of my own
B at the beginning is for a tractor built in Basildon England
533020 looks appropriate for a 83 model

 

[Don burden]

it most likely is a 1983 model but if any one else has an opinon please respond . thanks a lot. Don

 

[Destroked 450]

The 3910 was built 1983 - 1989
The unit number beginning with a 3 is for a year ending with a 3
1973, 1983, 1993, the only year ending with a 3 for the 3910 model was 1983 so I don’t see where it could be argued as a different year model
Being built in late November 83 it could be considered as a 84 model but that doesn’t change when it was built

I don't have 3ea 3910s. I have 3ea 8 speed trannys in a 3910, 3600, and 3000. The 8 speed has a range lever on the right top of the tranny and a gear (in that range) selector that has 4 positions on the left side of the tranny cover. The only thing under the steering wheel is the throttle lever on the right side. To know if you have a 6 or 8 speed, shift the tranny into N and move the selector all the way to the right...beyond the position of 2nd gear. If it moves on over and up it's an 8. If it doesn't it's not. I'm NE of Dallas.

I went back and reread the thread, I saw were you stated the tractor had column shift which would indicate it has the 8x4 synchronized transmission instead of the standard 8x2 non synchronized trans
This would change the last digit in the model number from a C to a D
The model code should read CH414D
Clean the area good to see if this is correct

Also a photo of the tractor would be helpful

I wonder if the person whose responsibility it is to identify tractors coming off the assembly line ever thought about getting a BIGGER HAMMER!!!!!

Or at least hold the number and letter stamps straight

i have returned with starter problems on my ford 3910. the solenoid for starter is bad. should i remove starter to replace it.the solenoid is mounted on the starter thanks. Don

 

[Texasmark]

does any one know what years models had the console shift

The series II which has a decal right where your Series II does, signifying that yours is a Series II and the latest models of the series manufactured in the end of the 1980's as another guy has indicated herein. You have the upgraded transmission....don't recollect what they called it nor how it operates. As stated previously, mine are 8 speeds, 4 gears in each range, shifting sticks on top of the tranny. Why is the model year important to you? You need to order parts? What parts?
