Ford 4400: Utility or Industrial ?

The other problem is that the only manuals available are for the «4400 industrial», I couldn't find any for the «4400 utility» after hours of searching.

And if finally I really have a «Utility» model, will the parts and service manuals for the «Industrial» do a fairly good job ?

The oil pan is heavier for more strength because of the front loader. It takes some of the stress.
The front axle is solid, heavier and not adjustable.
The power steering on the 4400 is the same as used on the 5000 series according to the manual.

I can't remember exactly but I think I remember reading that the industrial has an even heavier front axle than the utility. Other than those things they are the same as the 4000.

Call ford directly for the manuals. They are very helpful. I think I paid around $115.00 or so for all. I can't remember where to call but maybe someone on here can tell you. I think it was in Michigan.

There isn't much difference in the price

I don't have my manuals here right now, they are in Wisconsin with the tractor and I am in Florida, or I would give you the part numbers for them. I did find a note that there are 5 manuals for the tractor alone. The loader manual is in addition.

If you are looking at them from ford then that sounds like what I have. I would get the ones for the 4400.
They show mostly 4000 things through most of the manuals. They only tell you when there is a difference in the utility or industrial.

One of the manuals I think #5 lists the differences. You have to kind of jump around to find what you want but it is all there.

I had to add all the three point equipment including the top cover when I got mine. It had the loader and pto but no 3 point. I had a heck of a time finding anyone that could tell me the difference between it and the 4000. turned out there really was no difference except for the items I mentioned before.
