Being where you are you're probably in a position to find most if not all the weird Ford model variants. You have one now. I forget without digging out a book and looking... but I think the 3055 is a 3000 All Purpose (3100) that has been fitted with the 4000's double reduction (inboard planetary) rear axle. This was the forerunner to the 4100, 3910, etc. It will be heavy and seem underpowered... but provided the engine is good the rest will be indestructable. 8K hours is a bunch, to the point that it could be plain worn out... or if the tractor wasn't worked too hard it may have a lot of life left. Just inspect it closely. Transmissions could be a 6x4 manual reversing, 10 speed S-O-S (powershift) or the 8x2 crashbox. In all likelyhood it's the 8x2... which is a sliding collar transmission not unlike an Eaton RoadRanger. It can be shifted on the fly if you learn the gear splits. They almost always make a crash on some gears with odd ratio splits, hence the moniker... but the damn thing is indestructable.
Also... most people refer to these tractors by their series number which is 3000... but the all purpose model is correctly a '3100'. A utility is a 3400 and the industrial is a 3500. There are also probably a dozen other model variants of which you've found one.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
