Ford Tractor ID

TomGator · Jun 16, 2018

I'm trying to ID this tractor. I was told its a Ford 3000 around '73,
I've included a pic of numbers I found, which make no sense to me according to the info I found.The numbers as I see them are (top to bottom)
CH34D
J66
BC51063

Balisdon and Antwerp seem to have different numbering system than Highland Park units. Makes them hard to figure out sometimes. J 66 makes me think its a 1966

I also found these numbers on the engine block

Looking at casting date of 6H which is the month before the assembly date of J66 seems correct. The tractor unit number (date) I read as 6H31B which would be Oct 31 1966 day shift which conflicts with the assembly date of "J" for the engine ("I" wasn't used). The 300,000 sequence number seems high for a 1966. Looks like the guy who did the stamping went to the pub during lunch.
