Muffler towards the back of the hood makes it a 65-75 model
It has the heavy duty planetary rear axle with wet disc brakes
Ford only built two hard nose models during that time period with that rear axle
4500 was one but it has a different front axle and heavier model 740 loader. I have a 4500
3550 had a front axle like in the photo and the lighter model 735 loader that's also in the photo
The tractor has a 6x4 manual reverser transmission that has 3 forward and 2 reverse gears in each of the low and high ranges giving it 6 forward gears and 4 reverse gears
It appears to have a home made hydrostatic steering system which isn't a bad thing if done properly, the original steering was average at best and steered on the slow side
With no lift arms, backhoe hooks and flip over backhoe seat I'd say it originally had a backhoe, most likely it doesn't have a pto
