What tractor and where does part go?

New to the forum and old Ford Tractors.
I have what I suspect is a 1962 Ford 4000, but not sure. Original color was blue. Been repainted orange. Sheet metal all messed up/bondo/repaired (think it was crashed).

It is a 4 cyl. diesel, 4 Spd. Model ID numbers are etched away, but here is what I found:

4*1-D (* might be a 6 or 0)
312480 - Differential
310835 - Tranny under right side pedals
CONN6015J - (found this in prior posts.

Also, found this washer sitting on the inspection cover off the underside of the bellhousing/tranny ? Reverse idler or PTO thrust washer ? WHERE DOES IT GO ?

Thanks,
Sam

congrats on the ford... and the washer looks like a piece of a starter drive gear to me...

tin ain't from a 4000.. but tins, and heck.. everything gets swapped... engines and trannies too. :)

It is a busted washer from a previous starter drive.

Nice looking diesel. Mike
 
remember the dry area of the bellhousing you fished that washer out is not common to the tranny. so a reverse idler gear washer would have a darn hard time to make it to the clutch bellhousing!
 
C0NN-6015J is a 172ci engine from late 1960-1964, so the engine could be from an 801/901 or a 4000.

A 4 cylinder 4000 would have a 5 digit model number before the "-D", but lots of them have had some or all of the model number obliterated by battery acid over the years. Since the second to last digit is always a 0 or a 1 (never a 6), my guess would be 41401-D, or possibly 40401-D.

40401-D would be a 1961-1962 heavy industrial 4000 with a 4 speed and no PTO and no 3 point hydraulics.

41401-D would be a 1963-1964 heavy industrial 4000 with a 4 speed and PTO, but no 3 point hydraulics.

The heavy industrial has a solid non-adjustable front axle, but your pictures show a standard ag chassis adjustable front axle, so my guess is that the trans was swapped out at some point., in which case you'll never know for sure exactly what it was to begin with.
 
Thanks for the replies! I suspect parts have probably been swapped around some.

The more I dig around with this old thing, the more I think it had a pretty tough life.

Good news about the washer.
 
Check all of the major components (engine block, trans housing, rear axle housings and center housing and hydraulic top cover) for small date code stamps that would look like the ones that Jim.UT posted in this thread:

Post back all of the date codes that you find and where you found them, and we can usually tell from the "majority" of them being close to each other what the tractor started out as and what parts might have been swapped out.
