Hi all. I'm new here.
I inherited a Ford Workmaster 641 through a home purchase. A friend thought I should keep it but he does car and truck restoration. I do not. I lack a heated or covered garage/shop. And so forth.
So, I think I will sell it to someone that needs it. I got it running and drove it a bit. However what I need and what it can do are not the same. Reality is, I would love a mini excavator and skid steer. That's not happening. Probably rent what I need. And if I did get a tractor, it would have backhoe with thumb, as well as be diesel, not gas. And atleast 23-30HP model. (New Holland, Kioti or low hour Kubota).
I want to be honest, I'm not here to rebuild, etc. I'm here to find out how to identify the model year, and other advice to fix/maintain it for someone else that can use it or more.
What I know is that there is supposed to be number on sides or top of housing. I can only find the cast numbers, a series of 6 digits, and they mostly start with 301###.
If someone would help me understand the correct ID (maybe painted over?) I would greatly appreciate it.
I will change the oil (consensus is 15W40), add oil to the wet filter, it has new battery, no hour gauge (Proof Meter not on this model), temp gauge moisture in it, I put in new fuel bowl/screen since it was cheaper than correct washers, also got a carb for it, and I don't think it original paint...seems more orange than red. Picts can be posted. Thanks.
