New owner of tractor (diesel engine question)

Good point, sorry I missed that. Probably got a nose swapped over at some point.

So you're saying my headlights are supposed to be in the lower grill? Where do I get all of these information details? Will this all be in the 4 manuals Paystar told me to order? ( I think they will be here in a few days).

So, upon further reading, these are the original fender design for my tractor:

Mudguard / Fender Set suitable for Ford & Fordson -

Mudguard / Fender Set Suitable for Ford 2000 3000 2600 and 3600 tractors Made from quality steel and shaped as per the original fendersPlease note - The gap centre to centre is 123mm, this is where the bolts fix the wings to the axle.

Yours is even older than mine!
Here is hopefully what you are getting if they haven't changed them.

I got all my info from members here, on YesterdaysTractors.com and Steiner tractor Parts catalogs and of coarse books on Ford tractors.

Here is a pic of the fuel pump where the engine oil goes. I had the cover off to clean the breather (it was clean) and the gasket was leaking a bit.
It's got a filler, a drain and a check plug. You just fill until it comes out check plug.

Here's an amusing story for you. My fuel filters are from England and it says it on them. I wanted to keep that for showing since it is a Basildon build.
So I ordered the same brand filters and had them shipped from the UK. Five dollar filters. Cost me $105 to get them here!
And the real kicker.....they no longer have anything printed on them!!
So I paid $105 for two plain white filters, LOL

Yes headlights should be in lower grill. Aftermarket grills are still available from many places but I keep reading that they don't fit perfectly?
