[souNdguy]

starting to plan out the paint purchase for my 2000

let me see if I have this straight.

the cast and hood and grill screen are all blue.

the fenders, and front rims, and rear centers are grey

Even the rear rims can be gray or galvanized, pending on rim type.

My '63 2000 4 cyl gas is black.

and factory seat was blue, at least on the later 2000's and 2600's, but you usually see black as its the most common replacement seat. Is this an early 2000, 65 to aug of 68? with the hood louvers or late 2000?

I'm pretty sure that it's an even earlier 2000 ('62-'64) with the 4 cylinder engine.

Soundguy Hello, Here's a pic of my 2000,I painted it in the back yard with rattle cans as i didn't feel like putting it in the shop and mixing paint for the spray gun.LOL -cheers-ed

 

[Ed H.-OH]

Soundguy, Here's a pic right afer i painted it. It turned out pretty good for a half drunk painter with a case of spray bombs.That was 5 years ago and it's still holding up. -ed

 

[souNdguy]

my bad.. it's a 62-64 4 cyl.

soundguy

 

[souNdguy]

looks great.. had you not said you spray bombed it I'd have never known.

are those front hubs off an industrial?

soundguy

 

[souNdguy]

yep.. if I have enough cad paint left I may try to cad paint the rims, and then do the centers grey.

still trying to decide blue or black on the pan seat.

What year was it ford started painting their tractors blue? I saw a thread on it before, that blue looks good but i just like the old red and white or eggshell colors as some call it. Are you sure you want to paint it blue soundguy??? lol if so might as well paint that seat blue to.. keep us posted. DW

 

[souNdguy]

blue should be correct for a 2000 4 cyl. red cast ended with the 01 series in 62

Soundguy, Hi!, Thanks for the kind words,Mine to was worn in the steering,I replaced all the tie rod ends, hitch balls were all worn out,etc.The lower part of the grill was missing and it was painted with house paint, had to use stripper on a lot of it. It was an ugly tractor when i got it but like you i enjoy breathing life back into things.The engine was overhauled just before i got it and has new loaded rear tires. So i had something to work with.
The hood was eggshell when it was new, like yours.The front axel is factory. Thats a 1965 transition tractor,They called it a lite industrial.It's an agg tractor with a heavy one piece axel,Heavy duty big clutch with greaseable throw out,a foot throttle ( I love) and a 3 speed sherman.They tell me it was bought new with a Ind. loader on it, and was on it for about 40 years, thats why the steering was tired.
I'm very happy with it, Got a new tractor without the payments (LOL). I'm sure you will like yours when it's done, I see your making good progress.Good luck-ed

i thought those hubs looked like industrial models to me. glad to see my eyesight isn't going!

thanks

Hi Ed,noticed the mower deck on your tractor.How does it operate? Is it hydraulic driven or PTO? I am not familiar with attachments yet.just wondering if that would work on my '63 4000...

 

[Ed H. -OH]

Glen, Hi! The mower is made by continal-Belton, Belton Texas.I love it. Thats a 3pnt. hitch mower that doesn't tie up the tractor as you just unhook the 3 point and drive right over
top of it, On- off 20 minutes. It's about 20 years old,I just completely restored it this spring and repainted it. You can find them at actions cheep and restore one , I don't think they make them anymore,The company sold out to AG-Mires (In Texas)
To the best of my knowledge it the only 3 pnt belly mower made. It's a 3 blade lawn mower not a brush hog, I couldn't be happer with it. If i'm in a hurry i put the sherman in high and it will cut a 6 ft. path at 9 mph.. Buddy that cutten grass, the average person mows 2-4 mph.
If you need anymore info. just let me know.-ed
