Hello Norm , What you have is a model number 40303 serial number should be between 131000 and 171500 putting it between late 1960 to mid year 1962 before the change to the blue and buff Industrial colors . The Sherman lever is modified Combo shifter not a reverser lever it still could have a reverser in it . The foot throttle is the correct 1st design for the red and buff Industrials . 14.9 and 16.9 were both optional sizes and either could have been correct . The Industrials came with a fixed drawbar setup but could be ordered with a swinging drawbar setup also . What ever the fenders are from they are not Ford and just scrap metal . As for the wheel weights Ford did make one piece cast center weights for the 28" wheels that weighed 600 lbs each during 1958-1960 listed only for the Heavy Duty Industrials 1801/4040 (I have a set of those and have only seen about 6 or 8 sets) but I have never seen ones for 24" wheels and Ford does list them as available but it does not mean one of the Foundries didn't cast some and sell them especially if you are on the west coast or if the tractor could be traced down to have been on the west coast . Where are you located ? Get it running and see what it sounds like it could be parts or a runner . I have both Light Duty and Heavy Duty Industrials both Red/Gray , Red/Buff ,and Blue/Buff Loaders , Loader/Backhoes , Dozer/Backhoes , Crane booms , Forklifts and Four Wheel Drives . Thanks Tony

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
