Hello folks, seems I am the proud owner of a Ford 2000 series tractor. Paid $1500 for it.
Unfortunately a tree fell on the front & crushed the front top of the hood and grill and got the radiator as well but my uncle has beat it out and welded it up to where it will work before I bought it. It didn't come with any fenders but since my family has had an old 8N for years and acquired a 600 series as well we have accumulated a few parts through the years and happened to have an extra set. Bolts right on and looks great. Just needs a radiator and a few extra things to have it running.
After searching around I figured out it has the C0NN-6015G motor in it (Making it the 2000 series right?) which places it from 1962 to 64. No problem, nice to know. Unless there is something wrong with the motor design but I have not found anything on the net to say good or bad about this motor.
I looked at deciphering the serial No. and found it thanks to oldfordtractors.com website but unfortunately half of the numbers are gone. *1301 is the best I can make out and that's iffy at best. Since its a 134 motor it has to be a 21301 which is 134 ci gasoline engine, industrial and agricultural models produced after 1963, utility-type tractor w/non-adjustable front axle, four-speed w/PTO.
Here is where it gets a little harder to identify this tractor. It is a high row with a power steering adjustable front end with a massive hunk of iron sticking out the front with a straight axle under it, I say adjustable because right now the outside of the front tires matches the outside of the rear tires OD to OD but it looks like I can extend them OUT more but not IN. Why you would do that I have no idea! I have spent 2 days scouring the web looking for pictures and it seems no one has a picture that matches this tractor. Could it be a three wheel with an aftermarket 4 wheel conversion kit or did ford do this from the factory? If that's the case then the numbers don't match what the tractor was made with at all & I may have a frankentractor.
There are 2 pictures on oldfordtractors.com that sort of look like my front end but you have to combine the hundred series Row Crop steering frame and block under the front, add on a giant block in front of it and attach the red 6000 series front axle!
Any help here would be appreciated and do ya think I got a good deal?
