That is the greaser cup for the heavy duty clutch throwout bearing. The grease is injected as the handle is turned in. The owner's manual
should state how often and how far to turn it.

Thank you Sir. Ive ordered the owners manual. Is this rare?? Ive searched images of several ford 3000 and dont see it.

I have it on a Ford 4400 tractor. The thing just spins around when I tighten it. I wonder why other newer Fords don't have it?

What transmission does it have? They were usually only installed on the industrial model tractors (3400, 3500, 3550, 4400 and 4500) with the manual reversing transmission, but I think I've seen them on a few industrial models with 8 speeds as well. The parts drawing only shows it in the drawing at the link below:

07E08 - SINGLE CLUTCH ASSY. - 3400, 3500, 4400, 4410, 4500 (65/9-69) 4400, 4410, 4500 (10-71/) 3550 (72/) 4100 NH-E (5-73/) 3400 (7-74/)

So it looks like it was only stock on the 3 cylinder industrial models plus the ag chassis 4000 (4100) for a few years in Europe. There is another single clutch parts drawing for the rest of the ag chassis and row crop models that doesn't have that grease cup assembly. If yours is in fact a 3000 the transmission was probably swapped out at some point or it was a rare one with a factory manual reverser on an ag chassis 3000. I have seen a few of those.

I believe they were standard on industrial tractors and optional on ag units.

I've got a '65 4500 with this feature. 4 speed transmission (2 forward, 2 reverse, w/hi/lo range). Definitely a no frills machine, no 3-point, no PTO. Never had a backhoe associated with it as far as I can ascertain. A tremendous hydraulic pump associated with the loader however...

Its a Ford 3000 8 forward 2 reverse

Engine Ser # C7NN6015 AH
Trans Ser # C5NN7006 AG

Does this mean its a transmission swap?

Thanks for all the posts.

sorry....just realized im 4 hours ahead

I have two 64 4130s, the one with the Sherman reverser has the zerk to grease the throw out bearing, one shot of grease every 10 hours.

 

[MuleSkinR]

Mine is not a zerk fitting that I can tell unless its down inside the cup. Not sure how i would make sure if it has good quantity of grease in it???

Those are not serial nunbers.
The model, serial and build date are Hand
Stamped in the top, right corner of the
transmission - just aft and above the
starter. You will probably need to scrape
and wire brush some paint and crud off to
read them.
You are looking for something like in the
photo. Post them here and we'll decipher
what you have.
I have never seen that grease cup on a
ag/all purpose model.
Only on Utulity and Industrial models.

5 M 11

[MuleSkinR]

Serial numbers.

 

[Ultradog MN]

34012G
3= 3000 chassis
40= Utility
1= diesel
2=540 transmission pto
G=??

I do not know what G means.

The only utility built on the 3000
chassis is the 3400.
Is your tractor a gas or diesel?
The fellas here steered you slightly
wrong. The 3400 and 4400 are not
industrials. They are Utility models.

G is the transmission code for the early version of the manual reversing transmission which was a 4x4, which was changed to a 6x4 a couple of years into the production run, at which time they changed the trans code for the manual reverser to K.

Since it has the earlier 4x4 manual reverser, the date code 5M11 says that it was assembled on December 11 1965.

Those numbers are stamped into the transmission, so the tractor that the transmission left the factory with was a late 1965 3400, but you say it's a 3000, so the transmission may have been swapped out at some point. The main difference between the 3000 and 3400 is the front axle

Does your front axle look like this as a a single piece all the way across, which is the front axle for a 3400:

Or does it look like this, with the axle being 3 pieces that bolt together with extra holes to change the width, which is the front axle for a 3000:

 

[MuleSkinR]

Its a 3 piece front end. I was told the model number C5nn was a 1965 if that is true, the tranny and rear end is C5NN and the front down next to oil pan
is stamped C7NN?? I guess I have a "Frankenstein" tractor?? My Dad purchased in 1997 for $5500. We have used it for plowing and bushhoggin' never gave us
a bit of trouble....

C5NN is the beginning of a casting code. The C5 at the beginning does mean 1965, but that is when that particular casting was designed. They used most castings for several years after the design date and the casting number didn't change the entire time that they used that particular casting design, so the transmission that has the C5NN casting number could have been made anywhere in the production run of the 3000 series, but the model number, 34012G, and Unit number, 5M11, stamped into the flat spot, says that the transmission left the factory in December of 1965 in a model 3400 tractor.

Since yours has the 3 piece front axle, it is most likely a 3000 that had a transmission from a 3400 swapped in at some point. The fact that the casting code on the engine starts with C7NN says that the engine (and probably most of the rest of the tractor) was made in or after 1967.

Look down below that C7NN casting number on the right side of the engine for a smooth flat spot just above the oil pan. The engine serial number and assembly date code should be stamped there. Post back what you find there.
