Looks like a 3000 with a swapped in industrial engine. I'm not an expert though, repost your pictures in the vintage ford section and there are some very knowledgeable guys that will help you out.

I haven't heard of that one but if it's running good you should be fine. Have you been able to get parts for it?

.... was another sight there was 2 on the left one on the right, but when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on
Well I finally got it running. Turns out I have a frankentractor. The engine is a 340b industrial (apparently according to NH support that ran the number). The transmission appears to be an 8 speed out of a British tractor, with British sheet metal. Rearend appears to be US built. I finally got it running - yay!
First I rewired it so that I could get the starter to work, changed the oil and replaced almost all the grease fittings and lubed it up. Changed the oil and got the engine to turn over freely with a wrench on the crank pulley. Sigh - it wouldn't start.
I had to have the fuel pump and 2 of the injectors rebuilt (one injector just needed to be adjusted). So $450 dollars later - she starts and ran - cheers. Drove it around the yard alittle and put her up. Now that I know it runs and runs strong - I will start the body work needed before I paint her back stock ford blue. Have to swap the radiator as she leaks like a colander. Have to replace the trans oil as it was milky as nestle quick and swap out a tube in the back tire as it wont hold air. After that I'm hoping it will be a good tractor and will last me many years. Cheers all.
