I just bought a ford 5000. Supposedly it had been rebuilt within the last 500 hrs. The last owner told me Somebody had filled the block with water because they were mad at him and he found it after it was locked up. He Drained water and filled block with diesel. I'm trying to figure out what year I have but and some information in it but the puzzling thing is the serial number starts with an A. According to everything I read it should have started with a B or a C.

The numbers stamped on the transmission are
E10 14c
4k17b
*A268761*[/img]

E = 5000
10 = Agricultural all propose
1 = Diesel
4 = Independent 540 PTO
C = 8 spd trans

4 = 74
K = October
17 = 17th day
B = day shift

A in the serial # means it was built in Antwerp, Belgium
 
Thanks. For the info. This makes the 3rd project tractor I have. I bought 2 selectospeed s last year.. If I remember right they are a 641 and an 871. I'm gonna have to redo at least the bottom end of the motor in the 5000. It was rebuilt less than 500 hrs ago but someone got ------ at the last owner and filled the oil pan and motor with water, broke the fuel filter off, took the fuel cap off and stole the battery. The last owner found it after it was seized and drained the water and oil and filled it with diesel and it's been sitting like that for a year. He pulled 2 injectors out and said the tops of the cylinders looked clean and so I'm hoping to only have to redo bearings and such in the bottom end.
 

A 641 is not an SOS. It's a 4 speed. A 601 SOS would be either a 671 or a 681 or a couple others with some PTO or 3 point deletes that I don't remember the specific models of. But it is not a 641!
 
Sorry. 641 is what my dad has. I didn't go look at the numbers again yet but thank you for straightening me out. I'm gonna try and upload some photos of my 5000. Havnt done this before so well see of it works
 

We used to go there several times a years plus visits to the cart tracks at Diamond Lake.
Kids are grown know and my gun safe is full so we don't get down that way but maybe once a year now.
I have a 67 5000 and 62 881 diesel, my brother has 2 671 diesels.
 
Both of my s.o.s. are gasoline. 1 was supposed to run and drive. The second one ran but they said didn't pull so i bought it for parts for my other one. I've got an both where they will run but I havnt had much time to mess with them and it seems no one round Owensboro knows much about them. I know where harned is. My friends parents moved there a few years back for her dad to be a preacher there.
 

I had a SOS on a three cylinder 4000 and did some repair work on it, my bother has one with the input shaft splines striped that we're having modified to six point hex and will weld a six point socket into the clutch coupler.

Larry NCKS is the SOS guru on this site, he's the guy to talk to about SOS transmissions.
