Ford serial decode?

[DynMetalworks]

I bought a Ford tractor that the owner said is a Industrial 4500 TL. On the RH side behind the starter there is CU312K, OA25B, *C640114*. Can anyone tell me the model, year, and tranny? Also, how do I find out the loader info? Thanks

Did some more searching and its a 340. Not sure if its a 340, 340A, or 340B.

Look under the hood. If there are numbers there give me those. It is a loader correct.

340, no letter. Jan 1980. 6X4 transmission with transmission PTO. The loader should have a metal plate on the LH side with true model and serial number. The true model is the number that starts with 19-... When you get that number, you can use it to search for parts on the New Holland parts website. The actual loader model is most likely a 730
