74383 6J22
Above starter on left side transmission block

I'm thinking early 60's 1000 but can't match numbers to anything I find online

Thanks for any help,
Nick
 
41201 is a 1963-1964 4000 ag chassis tractor with an adjustable width front axle, a 4 speed transmission, trans driven (non-live) PTO and no 3 point lift. It could have had the 3 point lift added at some point after it left the factory, either by a dealer or a previous owner.

74383 is a 1964 serial number.

I'm not sure what 6J22 is. It looks like a date code form the later 1965+ series, and if it were it would mean September 22, 1966, which doesn't make sense given it is a 1964 4 cyluinder 4000. Maybe the trans was replaced on that date and the dealer who replaced it stamped that date into it when he stamped the original model and serial numbers into the new transmission.
 
I just read the other thread you posted on the same question. As someone else pointed out, that serial number is high for a 1964 serial number, and they did continue to make the earlier models after 1965 as parts of special orders, but there's no documented list of starting or ending serial numbers for the years after 1964 for the pre-'65 4 cylinder tractor models made after that. So September 22, 1966 might be when it was actually made. The "G" at the end of the model number might mean "Government as someone else suggested, or it might mean "Gasoline", as prior to 1965 they added a "D" at the end of the model numbers for tractors with diesel engines because there was nothing in the main model number to distinguish a diesel from a gasser, and starting with the new series in 1965 the model numbers actually told you what type of engine it had, so maybe someone on the assembly line in 1966 decided that the older model number needed a "G" at the end if it had a gasoline engine.
 
thanks so much fellas! Thing has been driving me nuts trying to I'd, most online searches are so misconstrued damn near makes it impossible.
