I am a new member and this is my first post. I need your help to identify the model of a Ford tractor so I can order some parts. I found the following 3 codes on the housing behind the starter:
K5012 - confident of digits, what does the K mean? I do not see a 6th digit for the transmission type
4G01B - confident of digits
C435487 - the 8 could have been a 3
observations of tractor:
6x4 transmission, diesel, original paint was yellow, PTO, 3PH, Ford loader has a mid front side mount, air breather access on right side (not top), 24 inch rear wheels, power steering is on left side, looks like pictures I have seen of a 420, no back hoe
my best interpretation of the codes
- looks like a 420 but does not match 1974 date as I understand the 420 was mode 1975 - 1978, I can'f figure out the K as the first digit of the model code
- 50 industrial chassis
- Diesel
- Trans PTO
- July 1, 1974 Day shift
- Made in the USA
