All '65-'75 4000 diesels used the 201 3-cyl. H.P. varied a little for different years, and the Select-O-Speed is typically about 2 h.p. lower than an 8-speed... this may account for your conflicting data. By '69, it should have been 50 PTO h.p. (most common measure). That would be roughly 58-60 h.p. at the flywheel. I don't have my books handy, but I think they were about 42-45 h.p. at the drawbar.
Remotes take priority over 3-point... You can use both at the same time, but the 3point doesn't move while the remote cylinder is moving.
No glowplugs, though it may have a Thermostart manifold heater.
VERY good tractor. Good torque, efficiency, and long lasting, assuming good maintenance. I doubt the 1600 hours is accurate though - that would be less than 40 hours a year. Those tachs are known to quit. I'd bet it's on its second or third tach and/or tach drive. I have a 4600 (generation newer, but essentially the same). Have it torn down for a rebuild right now due to a pinhole in a cylinder wall. I checked the clearance on the old main and rod bearings and one piston ring... the mains were .0015" beyond spec, and the rod bearings and ring end gap were still within spec at 8650 hours.
$5300? That's reasonable if it starts and runs well and has decent rubber - around here any way... other areas will have different prices. I wouldn't even consider an IH or a Perkins powered tractor if I could get a 4000 for similar money.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
