Hey guys, first post, first tractor. I bought this tractor last fall. It was advertised as a 1964.5 Ford 2000 industrial, with back hoe. These are the serial #'s I could get 130S / 3791*diamond.

I'm guessing that you missed some of the numbers. Model number most likely is 21301S, which would be a 1963 to 1964 2000 light industrial with a non adjustable front axle, 4 speed transmission with a non-live PTO and a Sherman auxiliary transmission, and the Sherman is most likely a reverser. The serial number, if it really is 3791, would make it a 1962, but that would conflict with the model number, so it is likely that you missed a leading digits of that as well, and if there's a leading digit missing then it is either a 1963 or 1964 tractor.

Why would you say serial# 3791 does not match up with the model #.

I would assume your reason is you are thinking the first 1 in 21301S means built in 1963 or 1964
If that is true we have to assume you use a cut off of Jan 1 1963.
While I am not sure; and open to discussion about it;
Could it be true they started using the 1 on Aug 1 1962 when they changed over from 601/801 to 2000/4000.

The point may be mute for the original poster because he said 3791*
This makes one believe he left off some numbers in the front because he did not say *3791*

If the serial number is really 3791 it was built in Sept 1962.
 
John, now that I think about it, you are probably correct, in that they started with the new serial numbers in '62, so they probably also switched the second digit from a 0 to a 1 at the same time, so if it is 3791 then it would be a '62 tractor. But I'm still thinking that since he missed the beginning of the model number he probably missed the beginning of the serial number as well.
