HI Guys - Just purchased an old Ford Tractor and am trying to ID what I have. The serial number has been eaten off by battery acid, so no hope there. It has a diesel engine. The guy I bought it from said it was an early 60's 40hp tractor..but not sure. There's a date code on the Txm of 85M, which from my research means Dec 5, 1958. 310837 was under that. It's a 5 speed up/down tranny. The number on the intake manifold is 310659, exhaust manifold - 310660 (or 680), NDA-7723-C on cap on transmission, and on the right side of engine 310609 with a 2 under it.The guy told me it was an 801 or so model, but he wasn't sure. The front grill has straight slats (no honeycomb), which tells me it either a 601 series or 800 series. But, I am not sure the deisel came out with the 800, I can't find that info to confirm. So, I'm leaning toward a 651, but this contradicts what I was told.. not that it discredits the facts. Thanks for looking and for the help.
