Greetings everyone
I recently picked up a 1978 Ford 515 Industrial Tractor with what I was told was a Forestry Package. Below is what Ive figured out and some blank spaces of what I still dont know about it
Pictures are in my dropbox but the forum rule to remove characters makes the link not work so guess you'll have to use your imagination
First the Forestry Package Does anyone know anything about it
My ford 515 serial 0571397
Model DU214C
Unit 8D14B
Transmission 8B06C
Rear Axle 8B10B
Engine 8C21B
Hyd Pump might be 8C 6B
Hyd Lift may be 8 7 Z but its Unreadable
Model info
DU2 515 Industrial Utility
1 Diesel - Vertical Exhaust
4 Independent PTO 540 RPM
C 8F x 2R Manual Transmission
Unit info
8 1978
D April
14 14th
B 1st shift
Loader tag info
Series Unreadable but its 745 going by the Component number
Component 19 863
Serial CL 34528
Capacity 3750 Lbs
Breakout force 4500 Lbs IIRC
tractordata has the HP at 59 but Model Number Identification 1939 1990 up pdf shows it as 56HP Not that it matters other than for curiosity sake Anyone know for sure
Can anyone tell me what the missing numbers should be on the decal for Hyd Pump and Hyd Lift
I have read that the 515 is based on the 4600 and I have found some sources for part numbers
I haven't found any more numbers stamped anywhere but the loader does block the view a lot
So I have been doing some homework
Thanks in advanced for any info. you can provide
Wow after removing all the commas hyphens periods apostrophes pound signs quotes question marks equal signs periods and all it hardly sounds like what it started out as
Hope everyone still understands
