Do the front knees have a machined area where they go behind the hood doglegs? Also on the ID numbers, I dont know how much metal is left on the ID pad but if you can thoroughly clean that area and paint it with red oxide paint that will help a lot. Its also easier to see during different times of day at different angles. I had some that I couldnt make out anything but after that treatment I got all the numbers. They are under battery box, horizontal pad, left side. Numbers on outside edge are serial numbers and above that are model numbers. I think you can magnaflux them also.(quoted from post at 02:24:04 11/28/17) Front axle is a hi-crop axle, it may have lost the 38" wheels on the rear to calcium chloride.

(quoted from post at 22:23:34 11/27/17) Does the fact that it has a spin on oil filter and is a 4 cylinder diesel help narrow things down?

All of the 1955-1964 4 cylinder models could have a kit installed to convert them to a spin-on filter if they didn't come with one.

Serial number will tell what year it is but not the model.
Model number is located behind the serial number.
Casting number on the right side of the engine will tell if it's a 144 ci 2000 engine or a 172 ci 4000 engine and years that engine was produced.
If it does have the select o speed trans there's 3 different casting numbers for the six years it was used in 59-64 model tractors.
Rear axle numbers will also help in id'ing the tractor.
I'm not familure with the high crop models but the info I've found doesn't match with what I see in the photo.
The info I've found indicates a high crop is a standard utility with long drop spindles and 38" rear tires.
The photo shows a tractor with long drop spindles and off set roll crop rear axle.
Casting number and any date codes will help determine what you have.

Edit: After searching I'm guessing your referring the intake pipe being for a 63 or later model, same pipe used on both models.

Guys, correct if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there was a 12010 model in that era. It could be a 41201, 4000 w/4 spd and 540 PTO.

roll crop
(quoted from post at 09:48:14 12/06/17) OK Larry, should I be loading photos differently? Not sure what you mean. I have a few more if I can get my fat fingers to hit the right buttons. Why do you think transmission has been swapped out?

Oops forgot to answer this one. The reason I think the transmission has been swapped is that you have a partial all purpose or utility model number stamped on the transmission and your tractor is very obviously (the rear end and drop box photos) a row crop version.

It is apparently a legitimate high crop even though not all the parts are original.
there are problems with the drop boxes on both sides

Like Dean I could only find the high clearance (high crop) axles and spindles in a row crop model listing.
With all of the modifications done to the hood, dash support and other components, though I hate to say it, I can only surmise that this tractor is a home made mutt.
I believe this tractor may have left the factory as a high clearance row crop model, but at some point the row crop front was wrecked or removed for some reason and a attempt was made to install a utility front support and steering.
Before I did much of anything to that tractor I'd check to see if the drive train was of usable condition. To me it would take a lot of time and money to get it back to a usable tractor, unless one has a junk row crop to rob the needed parts from.
That said, I don't think I'd junk it out, high clearance row crops are a bit rare.
With the last number in the model number possibly being a D instead of a 0.
D would be the suffix letter for a diesel engine which the tractor has.
4 is the suffix number for a high clearance wide front model.
But did Ford ever add 2 suffix numbers-letters to indicate a tractor had more than one option.
If not how can one verify a tractor like this is a diesel high clearance model.
(quoted from post at 17:17:06 12/11/17) OK. got the tractor in shop. Rear wheels did turn alright.
Model # update. As you guys told me last digit is a D. Younger eyes than mine think the model # is 1281D. Not sure how that adds to things.
