I'm looking at a very nice looking '67 Ford 2000. Gentleman is askin $3950 with a scraper blade. The tractor is a 3 cyl gas and has p/s and live pto. Questions:
1. Is this a good tractor for loader applications or do I really need something heavier?.
2. There is a small square pedal on the right side that is pushed with the driver's right heal, but it doesn't seem to do anything. What's it for?
3. There is a long number neatly stamped into a flat spot on the right side of the block at the very bottom just above the oil pan. What does this number represent? The s/n is C181xxx and is stamped elsewhere (right side of the trans).
4. What's your opinion of the price on this tractor and of this model tractor in general.

Thanks in advance.

Jim, I am EXTREMELY biased but I Love my "little Ford" '68 2000. It does not have the PS or the Diff Lock that this one has but those are nice features. Some day I intend to have power steering for this tractor but until then I will do what it takes to turn it. They are tough little tractors. If they have a weak spot it is the carb. The holley on these things are a pain and are not friendly to rebuild so replacing becomes a real option. ($300) These tractors have BALLs, They will get down and pull till it moves. but when all is said and done the 861 that you mentioned does have more HP but is not quite as young as the 2000. The 2000 is the 601 series equal and the 4000 is the 801 series equal. The 3000 has the same engine and is rated more HP with the same bore and stroke just 200 more RPM than the 2000 so bet me that my 2000 won't develop more than 30 HP. As for the price, it would sell for a $1000 more here in NC.

I agree that the main weak spot on the 2000 tractors is the carbarator. What are the options for replacing it? Is there a kit? Mine is hard to start and idles rough, it is in great shape exept for the carberator. Any ideas are apprecitated!

For the same money I'm kind of leaning toward the newer 2000. The old 4 cyl diesel doesn't inspire the same confidence in me that the newer 3 cyl diesel does. If this 2000 had the diesel there'd be no question. I'm looking at these tractors mainly for my sister who needs one. If it was for me, I'd probably look harder at the 861 because I like the old stuff. She needs something that will work and not need lots of repair/restoration. Thanks to all for your comments.

Jim, That 2000 would be my choice because it is not diesel. These gas tractors have plenty of power and CRANK EASY no matter what the temp. I have crawled on this one at below 0 weather and hit the switch. If the carb is giving you trouble like I mentioned, it won't start in the middle of summer. LOL

I have two 3000 gas. One with a loader. Works good. Wouldn't you know the one without P.S. has the loader. Good tractors
The pedal by right heal is the differential lock. A nice feature.
Price sounds like a steal if the tractor is sound. Good luck.

Jim, Had a 2000 but was deisel, not gas. Great little tractor, it didn't have PS tho. Great for a loader, but you are limited to what you can pick with it, not meant for "heavy duty" loads! I would think 1000lbs would be in the max area. It would have to be really "nice" to get that much for it! anyway that is my thoughts.....Van

Original paint and decals still bright and shiny. Report is that the original owner was the Park City Mine and it was used only to haul "trains" of tourists into the mine and back out. The exhaust system supports that claim. It's been reworked to exit just under the grille toward the front so as not to asphixiate the passengers. Reportedly the PTO and 3ph never got used for anything. The current owner is a transplanted city fella and bought it from the mine a year ago to have something to drag snow out of his driveway. Now he's bought a 4000 with a loader and doesn't need the 2000 anymore. I was thinking since a good 660 brings at least $3500 that this tractor ought to be worth about that. It does not come with a loader, but a loader would be in it's future if I bought it. I'll have to ponder on the 1000 lb max load to see if that meets my needs. Coincidentally an 861 is also available about 100 miles away. I haven't seen it, but the owner claims new tires, p/s, diesel, good working condition, etc and wants $3500. Would that be a better choice (assuming condition is decent)?

Engine serial number is stamped on the block. The pedal is for the differential lock. When engaged it locks up the differential. Only to be used when one wheel loses traction.
