Help! I have just purchased a Ford 2000 tractor. The serial number is 1004B so i think it is a 1962. It is a three cylinder. I have lots of light uses for a front end loader and am looking everywhere trying to find a used one with almost no luck. I found one made by Ford Dearborn Tractor with a serial number 1713. It came off of a Ford 600. Would it fit my tractor?

Is there a resource for such things which you, anyone, would recommend?

Any guidance or help you may give would be keenly appreciated.

Thanks,
DaleWol

If it is a three cylinder it will be a 65 or later tractor..Prior to that the thousand series were off shoots of the previous "01 " series in which the 601 series had a 4 cylinder lp,gas,134 ci or diesel 144ci 4 cylinder. 801 series had a 172 ci gas or diesel 4 cylinder..I believe in 65 they had the 201 ci 3 cylinder..If you had an early 60's 2000 ford the 600 loader would probably fit,,Your's being a three cylinder indicates a later model . Not sure if it would fit without modification,,

Thanks so much. It does appear to be 1971. With more careful research i think the 730 loader is the one to fit. So far i have not found one. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much. Your offer is a kind one. I appreciate this. However, i am going to try to find a 730 loader in the Western part of the US. Thanks. Any suggestions on finding one closer to Montana?

Another thing is other brands that have already been adapted for the Ford 2000/3000 series.

If you cant find one, give that number a call.. For a couple of hundred it might be worth the trip. 730's are hard to come by w/o buying the whole tractor.
