Value of Ford 4000?

[Tommy382]

I got a ford 4000 that I got and interest in trading for a smaller compact tractor. I have several acres of planted pulpwood that a smaller tractor than this would work much better for what I want to do. Does anyone have a possible value on my tractor ? I looked in the net and the price range is so dramatic from high to low. What's a fair value in your opinion?

1967ish ford 4000
8 speed tranny
Live pto? Has a two stage clutch that's stops the pto and a lever on the left side to engage
Front tires have a lil dry rot but few more years service
3 cyl gas burner
Just changed all the fluids and new battery
Everything works as should, starts up and runs great

I asked about the year on another post I made the other day. The numbers I got were stamped behind the starter and didn't coincide with the year. Sound guy, I think you told me that the transmission may have changed out. Where else would I get some numbers from? The sticker under the battery cover is not there. Also, I'm a tractor novice. I know nothing about them really. Starts fine and runs good. I checked and tested everything I know to check for as far as running and pto and everything's seems to do what it's supposed to. I did the paint job myself. Just a wire brush and tsc paint. Not the best job but stops the rust.

I question the live pto and 8spd... vs independent pto

post a picture of the hyd pump.

Is the pump on t he right side center section.. or does it have a left side mounted pump onthe rear of the engine.

post pics of both locations if you can't decide where you see the hyd pump.

clarify. when driving along, pto engaged.. and you stomp the clutch to stop tractor.. does pto stop? if you let up part way does pto come back on, and then full up tractor start moving?

if it is a live pto vs an independent pto.. it will fetch less.

Yes. If I press the clutch all the way down the pto stops. If I press the clutch halfway down the tractor stops but pto still moves. And there is a lever on the left side under the seat that turns the pto on and off. So if I move the lever to turn the pto on it don't move till I start to let out on the clutch. And after I let out about halfway the tractor trans kicks in. The hydro pump is on left side behind engine.

wow.. kinda rare.. but not a killer.

If it runs and puls good. pto works loaded. starts.. strong lift. I suspect you should be able to get 4500$ - ish for it. or that is what it would go fo down here looking like that and with good tires.

Thanks for the info. So is this an independent or live pto?

 

[Tommy382]
