Ford 4030?? John Deere 750
Hi guys,
Need some expert help trying to ID this tractor and implements (loader/backhoe), not having luck finding the seals I need to rebuilt the hydro's.


Here's the scoop-
It's original colors appear to be yellow and red
It has a badge in the grill that says Ford Industrial
The decals are gone, but I managed to see one that said 4??? Industrial
The serial number is 163131
The model stamped in the tranny case behind the starter says 40301

There are no identifying marks on either the loader or the hoe and many seals are gone (lots of leaks).
Here are some pictures, who can help me with this monster? It's a big machine and I can't wait to finish the restore and get it to use.

Looks to me like a 1961 4000 Industrial, 4 speed, without PTO or hydros, non-adjustable wide front.

Smith's old tractor site has a good identification guide.

I think you may be right. I've used that sight in the past.

I also found this PDF link 1962 Ford Tractor Sales Lit.

I guess the service manual for the tractor is included with several models all in one book, as I cannot find one specifically for the 4030, or 4000 industrial.
Anyone have a link that might include the service/repair manual? I've tried ssb and a few others, maybe I'm identifying the series wrong and could be missing something simple (that's usually the case) :)

Anyway, Thanks CBrown for your quick response and Link.
