Take a look at this. What do you all think?

Nice old Ford 4000

Looking at the rear tires make you wonder what they have been using it for on concrete for.

Doesn't look bad, gas or deisel?
Any leaks, trans/clutch feel solid, hydraulics, aux. hydraulics?

Though $3500 doesn't sound bad for that tractor but that one does not have power steering and I think for a little more or the same price you could find a comparable tractor with power steering. If you are wanting something that size and similar price range you might also look at the Internation 606, MF 135, 150 or 165, Allis Chalmers 160 or 170, John Deere 2020 or 301A, or even a Ford 4110, 3910, or another 4000.

If you are wanting one with a loader in that Hp range and are willing to pay a bit more then PM me.

I agree, the price seems good for the tractor that looks in pretty tidy condition.

I don't know why you would need PS in a tractor of this size though without four wheel drive. I drive them a lot and never find the steering hard, when there is a load on the back, it feels like power steering

$3500 is pretty much the going rate for that tractor in my area, basically the same as the Ford 800 and 801 series. Looks to me like it has a 4 speed transmission, which means no live PTO.

Our 135 Massey Ferguson doesn't have PS either and yes you are right, it does steer well when there is a load on the back, but if you have a load on the back and are turning at the end of the field the front sometimes wants to skip rather than dig in and turn (especially if there is a hill involved). I have front end weights on the 135 and I would add more but it becomes kind of brutal with no load behind the tires.

Now that's something you don't see every day...Some-body singing the praises of a 2020 diesel , We bought 3 of these new in 67-68? and only sold them a few years ago when i came to canada .I'm no deere lover but if you could live with the weak hydraulics these things were 100% reliable and were the only deeres to survive in our eventually all blue fleet of 16 tractors ...an awesome little puller ,Would out pull bigger tractors like david-brown 1210 ,mf 165 or ford 4600 ?

Whoops ?

Never been on a 2020 deisel, but my uncle has a 2020 gas and it is one heck of a machine. His has the stub out axles, HD front end, telescopic lift arms and cast iron wheel centers. It's not like most of the 2020 that are a more lightweight duty version. His looks more like a 4020 or 3020 with smaller tires.

Yep.. does look like a 4spd gsser. Should be a 63-64 model..

That's what suitcase weights and front bumpers are for!
