Need help ID'ing a tractor

double hunter · Jul 26, 2011

Just bought a Ford industrial tractor and need help with identification, stickers have been pulled off hood, under the hood it has id plate that sez it is a model CU312K, called local Ford dealer and they could not ID from that number, I think they just didn't want to take the time to help me, it has a Ford 340 loader on it, I think it may be a 3400 just looking a pictures, I need to change the Hydraulic oil, can any one tell me if this has a external filter and internal screen, any help appreciated, will get a manual soon as I find what I have, thanks In advance.

Is there supposed to be a tag or just numbers in the metal, I don't see anything in that area, but will check again tomorrow.

Yes, it is a 3400. If you can post the serial number the year of assembly can be decoded as well. That number is just below your model number and will be in the form of *Cnnnnnn*.
