Have a 4000 myself - it could realy use a restore! Unfortunately are my workshop completely stuffed with all kind of things (garden machines, atv's etc.) so i haven't the space to do it... Right now I'm building a new machine house so I can 'export' some of the mess... Here in Denmark we have quite a lot of the old Fords - the 4000 is one of the most common and it is easy to get new parts. Good luck with the project and please write a post about the more difficult areas of the restore - could be very useful for me and many others!

The most tricky thing was getting everything in order really far as painting sand blasting all that mechanically everything was very easy also

if you like the 4.. the 5 is great.
I have a 4600 and a 5000 usingthe 460 mostly now as the 5000 is in need of a clutch.. and my back ain't up to it right now.
