Wedgehead,
I can not answer your question, but looking at the pics you, you do not have a 1964 4000.
The tractor looks GREAT. Nice paint, but not a 4000. Maybe an 841? others on here could tell ya better.
The model may make a difference when you are looking for parts.

I have changed that seal on a 901, but I can't recall how difficult it was. I think that the row crops offer more room. I would try it first without removing the stuff in front. Chances are you will need a Speedi-Sleeve or equivalent under the new seal.
 

Yeah! Unless someone has messed with the tin as bad as they have the paint color, that's an 801 series of some kind. Still the same engine! If all things are good and tight on the front axle, I think one can service the front seal with removing much else. If worse comes to worst, one may need to remove the radiator.
 
Wow, I bought the tractor as it looks except
I repainted it the same colors as it was .
Decal and all. That's a bummer

Don't worry about it too much, Back at that time Ford advertised a dealer program to "update" red and gray tractors to blue and gray. I know a fellow who had an 801 painted blue some 45 years ago.

Don't fret. The 4 cylinder 4000 series was pretty much the same as the 801 series. There were a few minor changes but basically the same. A few years after the blue and grey 2000 and 4000 series tractors came out Ford offered the blue paint job for the older red tractors to "make your old tractor look more modern". So it could have been painted blue back then by a Ford dealer.
 

You should be able to identify the rig by date codes, model # and SN.

The model and SN are lightly stamped into the flat spot on top of the bell housing behind the starter. Provided the transmission has never been changed, it should still be there. The top, or inmost 3 digit number is the model (likely an 841). The number below or outside it should be a 5 or 6 digit number. 801 series tractors were made from 1958 - 1962.
