We had a former NYS thruway, '64 4000 s-o-s, many years, did all the work for years on the farm. Spreader, pushing snow as it had a front blade, 535 mower conditioner, M-F side delivery pto rake, 532 ford baler with a thrower and a lamco hay wagon, also had a side mid mount sickle mower on it, we took it off later. Lots of rotary cutter work, with a ford model mower, was square, even had a 2 bottom plow, 7' wide disc, ford post hole digger, that were used at times. I spent a lot of time as a kid on that particular tractor, the trans was in excellent shape when we got it, never had any trouble, right quick down the road in 10th! Power steering, 1 set of remotes, rest-o-ride seat and independent PTO were nice features I miss on my current 850.
Obviously you need a factory service manual, some or many repair parts being obsolete, no aftermarket or new unless N.O.S., salvage or manufactured by someone capable.
I had a high opinion of that 4000, all the hours mowing along the highway, then private use after auctioned off, NYS TA was good on fleet service or was known to be then. That helped, it was a reliable, lower center of gravity which helped a lot here, enough HP/torque to do the above and easy to operate, I'd have another if I knew the trans was in good condition.
