There's a 70 model 4500 TLB selling on GovDeals.com, diesel with cab, no doors that I could see.
Located near Akron, Ohio
Look in the heavy equipment section.

I'd love the cab for my 4500.

The price is Already too rich for my blood.

Looks a bit rough.

Thanks

it has the '65 -'68 front "shell and reservoir assembly" with the access doors at the sides altho it's identified as a '70

I'm surprised by the two-tone - I thought the industrials were all some shade of yellow -

69 and later smooth side hood panels, mine is a late 69 with that grille shell, parts search shows they used that grille shell till Jan 71.

Over all it looks pretty good, not beat up, no signs of weld repairs where it's been broke up, looks like original paint, I'm surprised the cylinder rams aren't pitted or rusted up from setting, twin sticks so most likely 6x4 manual reverser

Was taken out of service in 05 so it's been setting for 12 years, that's not good.
Engine could be locked up, clutch may be stuck, for sure will need a bunch of hydraulic lines replaced.
It's at the top of my price range without knowing more about the engine and clutch condition, it's a good sized job splitting that tractor.

Mine has the two- tone blue power train with yellow tin, loader and hoes where always yellow.
I'm guessing they went all yellow around 71, the only picks I could find showing all yellow had the later grill shell.

interesting - the '65 I'm working on/using shows no color other than yellow except on the rear end which does have blue underneath - - the trumpets, transmission, engine, bolster/front axle show no sign of ever being blue - -

Ford would paint them any color at the factory for a fleet purchase. My '73 4000 ag chassis started life as a state highway mower and it is all yellow with no signs of ever having had any blue on it, except for dark navy blue wheels front and rear and matching dark navy blue stripes down the sides of the hood where most would have had the decals.
