Ford 4000 indentification

I bought a what appears to be a Ford Industrial tractor, but I may have a Frankenstein variety. The model is listed as 40303 and the serial number as 131588. I'm not so sure of that fourth digit in the model number. It looks like a "G" and doesn't have the same oblong shape as the second digit which is clearly a "0".

It came with a Wagner loader and a Ford 713 backhoe. I paid $1,500. Tractor isn't current running but the carb is completely rusted solid and the air intake was burst indicating ignition and backfire. The starter was burned out telling me they tried to get it started and it did fire but burned out the original 6v starter on the updated 12v conversion it clearly has. it has the automobile style exhaust running under the tractor.

The logo says Ford 4000, not Industrial. What do I have here?

It's got to be a 0, no G used in that location

40303
4 = 172 ci engine
0 = Industrial models before 1963
30 = light industrial w/non adjustable front axle
3 = four-speed w/hydraulics and pto

Serial # 131588 is for a 61 model
 

Thank you. Why doesn't the logo say "Industrial" The seat is clearly the industrial model.

What are these worth as configured with backhoe and loader? What is it worth if I get it working correctly?
 

That stripe is for a 65-later 4000, not your model.
It's probably been repainted and someone stuck the wrong decal on at that time.

I have no idea of it's worth but the four spd trans makes it less valuable to me.
 
4000 light industrial.
hard to put a value on a non running tractor not knowing condition of loader and backhoe, front end parts. If you get it running then you probably did alright will your sale. If not then you could probably
part out for that much money.

Neither paint, nor seat, nor stickers indicate the model of an old tractor.
