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?
