Need help identifying year and model of a ford 5000

Please help me identify this Ford 5000 ?  I bought a ford 5000 for 500$ recently. 
It needs some tlc, and a new paint job, but everything works as it should, suprisingly. 
However, i cannot fiigure out what year this tractir is and what it is referred to as. 
My father in law has a 1971 ford 4000 with the bkue paint scheme. 
This particular one i bought has a cream white and bkue paint scheme. It has markings all over it that the best i can tell are stamped EN FN. 
I can try to attach a few pictures. 
We are stumped as to what year and model this one is. In order to buy parts for it.
Also what horse tractor is this ?
Thank you.

Since i am new to the supers, what kind of fluid do i put in the transmission and rear end. 
I assume the resr end is the same as a ford 4000, as it holds the fluid for the hydraulics. I have been reading article after article on the fordson forums. It sems some people use hydraulic fluid to fill the rear end, and others use 15-40 engine oil. Same goes for the transmission. Several post say 90 weight oil and several say 15-40 engine oil. 
I am trying not to screw up, right off the bat ... lol 
What do yall suggest. 
Also how would i tell the difference between a power major a1960-63 (50hp) and a new performance super major 1963-64 (55hp) ? 
Is the ford 5000 decal really the only way to tell the difference ? Some articles i read said the ford 5000 decals wers only put on 1963-64. 
I am a newbie, so please dont shoot ... lol 
Thanks for all yalls information. I would be lost without these forums.
 
 

The engine number is for 1962. If the tag up by the hood stay rod has the same number,
that is good evidence that it is the original engine.

The script is actually "En Fo", which stands for "English Ford".

Different people have different ideas about lubricant. It partly depends on the climate and
on how hard you are pulling. Some jugs of Hy Tran oil say they are suitable for Fords.

In my opinion, if you have a manual for your 4000 that specs the oil, I would think it should
be okay for the Fordson 5000 as well. Newer grease compounds are probably better than they
had when the tractor was designed.

I use 15W40 Diesel engine oil in all my tractor engines.
 
Any ideas what would cause the 3 point lift arms to only raise a set of disc, with the engine rpm raised to half throttle ?
It will not lift the disc at idle.
I have made sure the handle for auxiliary ( up ) is set to position control (down ).
I have changed rear axle fluid. I filled it with engine oil and used the dipstick to verify full.
I also removed the check valve and someone had installed it incorrectly and the spring wasnt there at all.
I used a spring i had, but definitely not the correct one.
I have also cleaned the strainer in the bittom of the rear end.
Before and after fluid change and filter cleaning, the lift will only raise a set of disc, if i rev the engine.
With no implement attached, the arms will raise and ko ower at idle
 
At more speed the pump makes more pressure so can lift more. What is the pressure if you put a guage on it and try to see how much pressure you have at different RPMs. Sounds like your disk is at the upper limit in weight for the hydrolic PSI that you have. A correct spring might, just might, give you enough more pressure to lift it but then the correct spring could lower the pressure you are getting now. Big question is what pressure is pump putting out. And wrong oil could make low pressure as well as a worn pump.
