Ford 4000 4WD

1968 Model

Found and bought a super nice tractor. It has Ford 4000 emblems, its clean and fully functional.

The serial # located behind starter is C190264 which translates to a 1968. There is a number behind that which is either DA004d or D1004d.

It has 4WD and a super big front axle and power steering.
It is a 3 CYL diesel which starts and runs great.

The tractor looks like a Ford NH 3930 or simply a Ford 4000 with 4WD.
It has independent PTO which stops spinning when off and funtions with load on PTO. 3805 hours.

OK, I know what it is now!

I know what it is not. It is not a County 4000. The axle is not Ferraro, Selene, etc. Rumor and vague fact is that Schindler bought out Selene. But I won't swear to it as fact.

Also Schindler made a 4WD kit which. fitted Ford tractors from the 4600 to the 8200;. the Schindler axle at the time had a better turning circle than the county and roadless. Both county and roadless offered 4wd drive kits for fitting.

Background: X000 series Ford tractors were made in Britan (all) and models to be converted in the USA to shipped minus front axles to Michigan assembly plant. Conversion kits were installed. Thus, this was not an after-market conversion, but manufacturer approved modification.

Individuals have contacted me, and I can account for 6-10 at least in the USA. . While I have a rare tractor, the facts about it are becoming less rare.

Tractor has METRIC Fastener SCHINDLER Axle

Schindler axles are found in Ford, Massey Ferguson tractors and JCB backhoes. To this date, I have not found a parts source for Schindler axles, but have LEADS and remain optimistic. A gentleman in NC has a 4000 Ford 4x4 front axle with a broken left steering knuckle, and another in Alabama has an axle with a bad ring gear and pinion.
