J5011J is the model number, which says that it is 5550 with a diesel engine, no PTO and a 6x6 torque converter auto reversing transmission.

0E22B is the Unit Number, which says that the tractor left the assembly line on May 22 1970 during the day shift.

*C272391*T - The first part, C272391 is the serial number. The C at the beginning says that it was made at the assembly plant in the US, and that is a 1970 serial number. I am not sure what the extra T at the end is for.

The torque converter and that transmission are covered in the "Industrial tractor supplement" to the main Ford Service manual. for the thousand series of that time frame. Here is a link to one that's on ebay right now:

I can't help you any but May 22, 1970 was a Friday which may or may not explain your problems. I'm sure the day shift was thinking about heading to the bar as was I on that same day when I graduated from high school.
