Is this a 772 Loader?

bac078 · Jan 13, 2018

Ive been lurking and searching here for a while, and figured I would register and ask for help. I got this 64 Ford 4000 gasser at auction recently. It has a seal leak at the bucket. Im trying to figure out exactly what loader this is. Looks like a 772 to me, however, on some further internet searching I found a 4000 for sale with the identical looking loader that the guy says his is as 721. I had never heard of a 721 Loader, and cant find anything on one. This was repainted several years ago, and no identifiers on the inside bracket that I can find. Any thoughts from youguys?

Is there a metal tag on the loader frame with a Series number, like I9-xxx? Replace the I with the number 1 and search on the New Holland parts site and you will see what loader model that frame series number matches up to.

Also, that does look like a fairly early 3 cylinder 4000, but they were officially released as a 1965 model year tractor, so I wouldn't call it a 1964 if I were you, especially when trying to look for parts or you may end up with parts for the earlier 4 cylinder 4000 which was a completely different tractor with almost no parts in common with yours.

I haven't found anything on a 721, either. There was a 771, which was a lighter version of the 772. That looks like a 772 to me, except the braces between the boom arms near the bucket. Maybe added/repaired?
The tractor isn't a '64 4000... that would be a smaller, lighter 4-cylinder model. The one pictured is a '65 to early '68, 3-cylinder model. A nice step up from the earlier ones.

I looked at his pictures this morning and was pretty sure it was a 772 but those extra braces in front made me wonder so I didn't reply.
I had another Ford loader that came off a 3000 SOS that I parted out a few years ago.
The main frame was very similar to the 772 I had but the lift arms were not boxed like a tube. They were open in the inside.
I wonder if that was a 771. No tags or ID on it.
Lift arms were lighter duty than the 772.
Yes, that tractor is not a 64. It is 65 or newer.

You are right. 65. I fat fingered it. The I-beams are welded on. Here is the ad I saw for the 721. I assume he
probably mistyped it. There are no stamps that I can find on the loader.
