Looks like my tractor. How did you determine the date of manufacter from those numbers? My numbers at that same location are:
C10230
9MO4B
C257327
Can you determine the date of manufacter from those numbers if so please let me know.

9M04B is the unit number, which is a date code. 9 =1969 M = December (I is not used) 04 = 4th day of the month B = second shift.
Are you sure your model number is right? C1023C would be a 3000 all-purpose, gas, 8-speed; with live PTO.

Thanks a million for the info, always thought it was a 70 year model for some reason. Yea, the model number is correct, it is a 3000 just as you described. Just realized your tractor is a 4000. Hope you and the tractor have many more birthdays.

That picture does make it look like it was rode hard and put away wet.
Never fear though, I'll come drag it out of your way Jerry.
As long as you pay for the fuel. LOL

I know you are, rightfully, not into the restoration craze.
But you also paint some of them. Prevents rust, etc.
Do you have plans for prettying this one up?
