Help identify tractor

[simcross]

What was the model of ford tractor probably in the 70's tin work was differant than the 5000 and 8000 fords the ones i saw were narrow front ends they were either white or light creme colored. Never knew anyone that had one but just saw a few around. If I recall I don't think they were a very reliable tractor.

Those things went over like a lead balloon here. Just about every one I've seen here was a gas and select-o-speed - good luck finding parts.

cfpinz, I have a '65 3000 w/Selectospeed (not by choice) and just about all the friction discs in the transmission are Ford C6. I rebuilt my Selectospeed about thirty years ago and used bronze racing discs for a C6 and it's still holding up just fine. Don't know about the bigger tractors like the 6000 or 8000 though.
