What year is this tractor?

[tractorguy63]

I recently purchased a Ford 3000 and am doing repairs to it. I need parts and need to know what year it is. Can anyone tell me what year it is. The serial number is ( C1595476MB ). These numbers were behind this number not sure what they are ( 6J28B ) ( 31023C ). Any information would be most appreciated. Thanks

Nice try, guy, but you didn't bother to check that it was a Wednesday ;-)

How do you tell which decade, or don't most model numbers last 10 years before renumbering?

Few lasted more than 10 years. '66 would be a 3000, '76 a 3600, '86 a 3610 and so on

As above, plus the manufacturer published the approximate serial number range for each year. The tractor facelift/freshening interval tended to be roughly a 4 - 5 year cycle.
