Ford 5000 4wd

[Yvan]

I have a Ford 5000 4wd. I have been told that it came out from the dealer as it is 1974. I order a complete set of manuals. Parts manual of a Ford 5000 is showing in 2wd only. Nothing in manuals are about the front axle and drive spool in between transmission and intermediate housing. Front Wheel drive does not have similarity with 4wd in between 5000 like a Ford 4600 or 5600.

Do you know what this is?

Can you post pictures and serial number? If it begins with a B then it is a Basildon built skid probably converted by Roadless or County.

It didn't come from the Ford factory that way, which is why you aren't finding it in any manuals. Front wheel drive didn't come from Ford in the 4-cylinder tractors until 1980 with the Blue Power Specials (5600-7700).
