Sounds like a pre 1975 model with a Select-O-Speed transmission. It would have 10 forward gears and 2 reverse. Basically, depress the left pedal, shift into 1st, then upshift and downshift on the fly. More or less a powershift transmission. If it is currently running and operating, depending on what the seller is asking, might be a decent buy. Most would tell you to run from it, and that may be a good idea if it has transmission problems. Parts for this transmission may be a challenge at this point, however there are enough of them still out there, hard to say what will or will not show up, NOS, used, salvage etc.
You must have the correct manual(s) to work on these, and there is a lot to know about them. Always use the specified fluid and or equivalent in these transmissions.
I ran a 4000 S-O-S for many years doing all the work we needed a tractor for, was a great tractor and though some were a bit jerky, this one was mild, some gears did seem to do that more than not, been a long time since I ran one of these though. I'm still a fan as they have a gear for every task, easy to drive and or teach someone to drive.
One in good operating order may serve you well for many years with decent maintenance, and care. The Ford 5000 was a well regarded tractor otherwise, we sold them new and sold a fair amount of them. I remember a trade in 5000, we field tested while baling hay, sure seemed like a good one then, that one had the 8 speed transmission.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
