Hello ski…, welcome to YT! Ultradog is my 5 mile away city neighbor, he’s a Ford guy and me IH. UD what’s up with him saying he has a 4 cylinder but everything I see indicates it should be 3? I know there was a Ford model that had a 3cyl for a certain time period and a 4 cylinder during a different run which one is that? Or is this a rudimentary skills problem?

There were no four cylinder 3000s.
Count the spark plugs.
There are 3 of them.
Count the wires on the distributer cap.
There are 4 of them including the center one that goes to the coil.
Look on the intake manifold.
Cast right in to it it clearly says Firing Order 1, 2, 3

My 2000 at 1964 was the last 4 cylinder that changed at 1965 I believe to the 3 cylinder and I don’t believe the 3000 was made till then so he’s probably correct. A picture might be worth a 1000 words with this one let’s see that motor. It might be possible he has the best of both

Are you responsible for the painting or did it come that way? If it came like that it screams “cobbled together” job.

 

[skibow135]

I did lol i started painting it

 

[skibow135]

The engine number matches the hood sticker

There is a Ford specific forum here at YT and the guys there are very knowledgeable about that era of Fords.
One of us is incorrect so I asked over there.
Hopefully they will set us straight.

How many cylinders does this tractor have?

I thought I knew my Fords but this fellow says this tractor is a 4 cylinder. So I will refer him to the experts here. What says the brain trust? Click the link for the thread on TT board. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/help-with-identification-ford-3000.1756084/

Can you show a picture of the entire distributor cap?

I like it actually.
It is a beaut and shows it's getting some love.
Kudos to the owner...

I will take pic of dist and spark plugs tomorrow

"Tag" would suggest a 1984 steering sector or part of one, in a 1974 tractor? "e4nn"

At a glance, it looks like a regular 3000 gas. The carburetor and starter don't look like the American version.
If it had a four cylinder transplant, the Ford tractor engine from a 5000 could be used. But it would require
stretching the hood and the radius rods. Can you give us the numbers from the front of the engine?

 

[skibow135]

Yes i will ...i also will take pics of dist and spark plugs i just can't get to it till this weekend thanks
