Most C4s were case-fill notched case and bell-housing with 157-, or 148-tooth flex-plates. It is unclear why Ford didn't change the serial number prefix to 2N. Other items included parts borrowed from Ford cars and trucks. The casting number is derived from the actual casting or part, and typically does not match the part, engineering, or service numbers.
A good method for determining the value of anything is to search for similar items on ebay and Amazon. Look numbers on transmission housing. Content and Web Design by K. The transmission and axle castings were from 1948 and 1949. Most parts are designed for more then one model application. There are actually two numbering systems. Unless the casting has been revised, the basic casting number does not change.
Funk 6 cylinder engine conversions, and others, such as the Flathead V8, are in a completely different price bracket. It has been well over 50 years since production of the 8N tractor ended. An example is my 1985 Mustang in American Sedan, generally I can use any bolt on component from 1979 through 1993 Capri or Mustang. Will have 4F50N stamped on tin side cover or it will have an aluminium side cover. Additional sources of information regarding safety of transportation can be found here: Rating: 4. These well designed, extremely durable machines continue to do real work while other tractors of the same era were scrapped long ago. Since the serial numbers are consecutive, if we know how many tractors were built each year it should be easy to determine the year any of these tractors was built.
Date codes are located in various areas, and are normally comprised of 3 or 4 digits. Borg Warner started manufacturing the T5 transmission in 1982. Paying for maintenance on a vintage gas engine makes any diesel a better value for a working tractor. Ford called its C4 the Cruise- O-Matic while Mercury called its C4 the Merc-O-Matic. Perhaps because the model designation was suggested by the Ferguson-Sherman Corporation rather than being a Ford factory model change. In 1960, Ford introduced its lightweight-iron Falcon and Comet sixes. Refer to to find photos and information about other years, makes, and models of farm tractors.
The five-speed transmissions fall into two categories: world class and non-world class. People are often confused by looking at a part or casting number. The C4 Ford took what it learned from the 2-speed BorgWarner automatic and applied it to the C4 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic that arrived for the 1964 model year. The first digit is the year. From 1971 to 1982, the C4 had a split-spline count.
What made the little Ford-O-Matic different than its predecessors was its aluminum case and steel hard parts inside and out. Some codes are four digits like D128. If the drivetrain in your vehicle has been customized in any other way, you should call our techs for help identifying your transmission. The 90-degree Fairlane small-block V-8s followed in 1962.

Starting with the Hundred series, Ford began using the model number prefix to indicate some options such as engine size and transmission type. Small revisions that don't affect compatibility - such as a change in suppliers - usually result in the suffix changing on the service part number to indicate the design change level. The 8N tractor still incorporated elements of the 3-point system that were patented by Ferguson.
Ford vehicle history report may contain the following information: title problems, prior damages, unsafe salvage rebuilds, odometer mileage, theft, past sales.

Internally, it has different valving and shift programming. They are generic Model Design digits like A O or S.
