I inherited a Ford 5000 tractor from my father. I'm trying to figure out exactly the year/model/etc. I have found tractor model number, tractor number, etc on a label posted under the hood that covers the battery (photo uploaded). I've seen reference to three numbers identifying the tractor posted on the right hand side of the engine block, but I am unable to locate those numbers on this tractor (for example http://vintagetractorengineer.com/2009/01/ford-2000-3000-4000-5000-serial-numbers/). On the label I found, the model is B1017C. According to web sites I've looked at, the "B" would indicate Ford 2000 but the tractor clearly is labelled a Ford 5000 so I'm confused on how to decipher the numbers I have. Is anyone able to decipher the exact build location, date, etc based on the photo I have?[/img]
