prior 2000 vs. 4000

Friend of mine is tractor shopping. Mostly an Allis guy, but he's looking at pre-'65 Fords. Current one he's asking me about is listed as a '64 2000. It's a diesel, SOS, and has power adjust wheels, p/s, mounting plates for pie weights, and a remote valve. With all those options, plus the facts that it has a 4000's paint scheme and 144's just aren't at all common leads me to think it might be a 4000. Assuming the model and serial numbers are likely eroded away, how do you distinguish between a 2000 and 4000? I know about the rear end being bigger/heavier in a 4000, but that isn't something I can tell for sure from a craigslist picture. Block casting numbers?
 
Check the spacing between the bottom of the steering wheel and the dash.

The hood sits higher on 8** and prior 4000 tractors than on 6** and prior 2000 tractors to accommodate the larger fuel tank.

You will easily be able to distinguish a 6** rear axle from a 8** unit if you have a photo taken from behind. Sorry, no photos to post but I expect someone else will post such.

I'll try a link to the ad.
Problem with the pictures is not having another one handy to compare. Maybe I'll go out to my "shop" and take a look at the 2000 in there. I'm really thinking it's a 4000 in the ad.

Rear and gap between steering wheel indicates late 801 or 4000.Get the code numbers off the engine block

Too late...
My friend called about it, but it's been sold.
Any of you have a diesel prior 4000 or 801 that you want to part with? The closer to eastern NE, the better.
