Ford 4000 Tractor Can We Bring it Back to Life " Will it Start"

This tractor belonged to a gentleman who passed away about 5 years prior and wasn't operated for several years before he passed. It has now been handed down to a younger generation to take care of the family farm. Let's see if we can put this old Ford 4000 back into service.

I was a 15yr old apprentice in the UK during mid 60's working for Ford when these came out. A good tractor in their time. Just for interest the part number for the oil filter is CFPN6731A, a number imprinted in my head.

These 4000s were a big seller in Ireland and UK in their day. Powerful 3 cyl.. This 6X model is about 56 HP gross and the later 6Y has 62 HP.

No power steering on that tractor. It was an option from the factory, but that one doesn't have it.

You can tell what options it has by the model number
