Trying to Identify this non running Ford. The numbers the owner can see are C7NN7006K 8H1B 74A02 He thinks.

The engine slowly lost power and then stopped. Cranks over but will not fire off. It's got the SOS tranny that I'm kind of interested in but the tractor is a good 5 hours away from me and would like to know more about the engine that is in it. 4 cylinder? 6 cylinder?

Thanks for any info on it.

There oughta be a like button on this page. I'm impressed with Bern and people like him who have this kind of knowledge of this era of Ford tractors.

My knowledge, what there is of it, is largely limited to the pre-65 Fords and the 94 up 70 series Genesis tractors.

I do know that the SOS in the 5000 is about as bullet proof as they come.

So which diesel is it? The 172? Where do you guys get all that information? I hate to keep bugging everybody.

4 cyl 233 cid unless had engine replaced with 256 cid Since slowly lost power my guess is fuel filters stopped up and inj pump has no oil in it and needs changed anyway.
 
172's were discontinued after 1964 (in
tractors... they continued at least
through the early '80's as industrial
power units). 5000's came with either a
233 c.i. ('65 thru early '68) or a 256
c.i. (mid '68 thru '75) The unit number -
8H1B - puts yours as having a 1968,
August 1, 2nd shift final assembly date.
That means it should have a 256, if
original.
Look at the frost plugs. Every early 5000
with a 233 that I've seen has screw-in
frost plugs, with a hex recess in the
face. 256's have the more familiar press-
fit plugs.
