What is this? It does not appear to be the '36 Ford I bought

I cannot find pictures that match. It has a loader bucket up front.

641 would be my guess also. 1957 to 1962
It does not have a Jubilee rear axle, it does have power
steering, 4 speed trans and the fenders look to be the x01 style.
 
So the year was way off. I appreciate the help. This is my first tractor. The front bodywork is missing. Are there any quick operation guides or tips? I will be using it to work two acres.
 
The owner's manual, parts manual and technical manual are all available.
They would be a great investment, especially on you first tractor.
They explain how to operate it and maintain it plus the parts list.
Once you find the model number search eBay for the books on CD.
The model number is just aft of the starter, on the top of the flat
spot with the two bolt holes in it.
It will be hand stamped in and can be hard to read. The number just
under that is the serial number that will tell you what year it actually is.
These old Fords are good tractors, but like anything their vintage,
they require regular maintenance.
If you have to hire that maintenance done they get expensive FAST!
 
I notice that half wits always get wild when you give them the right info.I will quit the forum because My eyesight is failing because of cataracts and I cant afford the 5 grand for surgery.Old age aint for sissys.
 
Thanks for your help Royse.

It supposedly ran a few years back, but the gas lacquered up.

Do you know where I can find the model number on the loader?

I am looking forward to standard maintenance, it is the rebuilding of an engine or hydraulics that I would like to avoid. I am still rebuilding a lathe that I have not touched for over a year…

I have a friend who has no money who is getting cataract surgery in two weeks.
 
I don't know exactly where the model number is on the loader.
If it's still there at all. The tags disappear over the years.
It's hard to tell from just the one picture, but the hydraulics for
that loader are probably ran off a front mounted "stinger" pump.
That makes them live hydraulics and separate from the tractor's
internal hydraulics. Normally considered a good thing both ways.
From the picture, I think that tractor has been setting a while.
Possibly a few years, but I'd guess more than a few.
If the engine will roll over, it will run. But it may smoke badly, etc.
I have a recent post of one I saved from the scrapper that does.
Get it home, drain the gas, change the oil, clean the carb and
put a good/new set of spark plugs in it.
Probably have to change the points to get good spark to those plugs.
Many folks like to soak the cylinders in Automatic Transmission Fluid
or Marvel Mystery oil for a week or so before you roll it over.
It can help free up the rings and improve compression.
I have had mixed success with that kind of soak, but other
than a couple dollars it doesn't hurt anything.
The YT Ford forum has a bunch of Ford specific experts.
If you want to post over there, I'm sure they'd be willing to help
out with anything you run into as well! Ford Forum
Whether you were looking for this one or just lucked into it, you
ended up doing pretty well.
That is one of Ford's models with live hydraulics/3 pt hitch, improved
hydraulics over previous models, stronger rear end and power steering.
You will definitely want that power steering to use the loader.

Medicare paid for mine. Was never sorry for getting it done.
 
I put that post in the wrong place.Tired out no sleep.Talked with a friend who had both eyes done.He says the prices I was quoted are way out of line.I have Medicare,have paid plenty into it in 10 years.Too many things have gone wrong this year.
