Ford 4000

Benj R · Jul 21, 2017

This Ford 4000 diesel 8 speed sits abandoned at a vintage tractor collection site. It has one flat rear tire,oil is black Cosmetically very nice. She has been parked there for a number of years. Back when I was still farming I was looking for a 4000 like that,there was none to be found, so I ended up with 2 5000s.

Looks like a early 65-66 model, English fenders and seat pan, manual steering.
Don't really need another 4000 but it would be nice to have.

Interesting that it has the European fenders and foot rests but not the inset headlights. It even has the European parking lights facing forward on the tops of the fenders but I see the holes on the sides of the nose cone where the American style headlights were mounted. Maybe it had a front end collision earlier in its life and that's the only replacement tin and grill they could get over here.

Hey Sean. This tractor is in Canada, and that is what most of our thousand series
Fords looked like. I have 3 thousand series tractors and they all came from
Britain, all have side mounted lights, the grill mounted lights were not popular
here. Another difference was tractors shipped to Canada had bigger back tires.
Also all of our 2 and 3000 series tractors came with 6 or 8 speed transmissions
from 1965 and on. (Some had the SOS transmissions) Most of Canada's Ford
tractor trade was with the UK.

I have a later 4000 configured the same way. It came out of Canada to NY via CT.
