The 4600 replaced the 4000 beginning in 1976. The 3600 replaced the 3000 at the same time. Except for upgraded hydraulics and electrics they were identical to their older sisters.
The 4000 and 4600 SUs (special or super utility) were a 4000/4600 engine and chassis with the lighter 3000/3600 wishbone style front end and steering.
Think of yours as a 4600 SU with a smaller engine.
It is a great small tractor. Maybe 5 more ponies than a 3600 but with the excellent independent PTO, much heavier, double reduction rear axle and vastly superior wet brakes of a 4600.
The light front end and short wheelbase makes it very nimble for plowing, discing, mowing, raking, etc but not well suited for loader work.
Ford played around quite a bit with those 3 cylinder engines. They used two different bores - 4.2 and 4.4". And they used three different crankshafts - 3.8, 4.2 and 4.4" stroke. With those combinations they built 158, 175, 183, 192 and 201 cubic inch engines - both gas and diesel. Your 183 was the least used combo with 4.2 bore and 4.4" stroke. The external dimensions on all of them were identical and one will easily slip into the place of another.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
