Ford 246

[lummer]

Can someone help me identify my Ford tractor. It has been in the family for many many years and I have recently decided to do an overhaul. I have always understood the tractor to be a 601 Workmaster. It definitely has a 4cyl OHV engine, no PTO but a three point hitch. What has me confused is the model number which is: 246 and is stamped right where the 601 series is supposed to be on the flat of the bellhousing behind the starter. The serial number is: 10327. Thanks for the help.

Are you sure that there is no PTO? It may just have the cover cap installed over it. Can you email me a pic? John Smith has an excellent section on the ID of the ford tractors. Click the link below

wwildhorse2k, Thanks for the reply, I do have some cell phone pics that I'll try to upload and send but it'll take a little while.
I'm aware of John Smiths site and that's how I got to this forum. The tractor looks all the world like a 601 in every detail that I can tell and the PTO has a 'flat' cap over it and I don't see a PTO shift lever anywhere.
Thanks again.

This is the tractor in its present state, hope this is helpful. Sorry for the two port side (left side) pictures, I was unable to delete the duplication.

it is a 621, it should be a 4 speed correct,

chrisinsoky, thanks for the reply, yes it is a 4 speed. I'm still trying to find out why the tractor has the model number "246" clearly stamped on the bellhousing.
