Ford model identification

[eco-logic]

Can someone help me to identify my Ford tractor?

model: DB314C
serial number: V215715
unit: 8C17B

The diesel pump has the following info:
made in england
DPA: 3233F770
DSA: 504
SER: R03438VW
D76E600/5/2450

The hydraulic pump plate says:
Sundstrand hydratec Ltd
dated coded: 7K26
Type: E1NN 600 AA

Thanks,

Hiram

Suspect the"B" in model might be "13"..If so.Tractor is a 1968 4000 gasser with independant PTO and 8spd tranny.
Built in Basilden,England on Day shift,Mar 17,1968

I'm not familiar with decoding model numbers after 1976, but I think it's a 5600...
The UNIT codes suggests a build date of march 17 1978 and the hydraulic pump's date code of october 26, 1977. The 'Sundstrand Hydratec' suggests to me that it's a later pump as earlier pumps were branded as 'Plessy'.
So... if the tractor is a 4 cylinder, I'm going with 5600. If it's a 3 cylinder, I'm going with 4600.

E1 part number means it was after 81 on the pump casting. But a pump could have been replaced.

check serial number again on transmission behind the starter on the flat spot.. V as a starting letter would put it as overseas made. I dont have my serial number book on hand. Maybe a shubira??

D on the model suggests its a 4xxx series.. and a 3 cyl engine.

b=???? unk best guess is shubira (japanese made)

3= A diesel, 1= indepentant pto and 4=8 speed tranny.

a "V" serial number is not from antwerp, basidon or U.S. in the older plants.

The jap model numbers that I've seen were simply 'F1900' etc. There were no codes that I recall...
That looks like a x600 series or later model number and as I recall the 'D' at that point indicated a 56xx tractor. 'E' indicated a 6xxx tractor and 'F' indicated a 7xxx tractor. I was just looking at a 6610 this afternoon so that I'm sure of...
This serial number seems funny, but I think it's still a Basildon number, perhaps from the second round after they passed the million unit mark. That I think should put in in '78 OK...

The tractor is 3 cylinders 4x2 with 3foward 1rev and hi/lo. I think the plate under the hood does not belong to the tractor. I read the info on the back of the starter and this is what I was able to read:
model: CA21???
unit: 9C23

I was not able to read the whole model number but for sure it star with CA21 and the unit number does not have the last letter to identify the shift. Please advice.

Thanks,

Can you get the stamped serial number behind the starter with the other numbers? That would help. You might take a wire brush and some chalk to the area and see if something else turns up.
It sounds like a 3600 based on the transmission and model number.
A picture would help.
DOes it have radius rods on the front axle and dual power steering cylinders and drag links? Is the PTO independant or a 2 stage clutch? Are the brakes outboard drum or inboard wet disc?
I expect they're drum if it's a 3600...
