3000, 4000, 5000, and 7000 agricultural tractors Keep this manual readily available for
reference at all times.
The manual is grouped into 17 parts. Each part contains chapter divisions. The chapters
contain such information as general operating principles, detailed inspection and repair
procedures, and full specifics regarding troubleshooting, specifications, and special tools.
Whenever possible, the special tools are illustrated performing their specific operations.
The page and figure numbers are consecutively numbered throughout each part of the
manual and each page bears the date of issue. Specifications listed on some pages may differ
from those in the text. In these cases, the specifications listed on the pages bearing the latest
issue date should be used. Any reference made in the manual to right, left, front, rear, top, or
bottom, is as vi~wed facing the direction of forward travel from the driver's seat.
The tractor and engine serial numbers, and the production code numbers for the

FORE'VORD
, '
This Supplem ent covers the m-ajor differences between new and previous type Ford 2000, 3000, 4000 snp SOOO
Agricultural tractors. The mechanical changes detailed also apply to Ford 3400, 3500, 4400, 4500 and 5500 Indus-
trial models. Changes to styling have little effect on service procedures, therefore where changes are merely ones
of appearance, reference to the Parts Catalog should be made when replacing such items as tadiator grilles, hoods
and exhaust mufflers .
SERIAL NUMBERING AND DATE CODING
The following Serial Numbering and Coding information should be noted:
Model Code
The model code is stamped on the right-hand implement mounting pad of the transmission and is also shown on
the identification decal located under the right-hand hood panel.
The first numerical digit which identified previoils models has been changed to 8 letter for the new models.
The chart below de tails the new code.

ENGINE SYSTEMS
FORD 4000 DIESEL ENGINE
To provide increased power, a new cylinder head with
modified porting has been int roduced together with a new
. high lift camshaft, fuel injection pump and injectors , and
a new air cleaner.
Cylinder Head
The inlet ports of the new cylinder head are larger than
those of the previous cylinder head to provide improved
breathing. All valve seats are located 0.020 in. (0.52 mm)
deeper.
This head may be used in service on previous Ford
4000 tractors.
When milli ng 8 new type head for service , the distance
between the top of the valve seat and the head to cylinder
block jointing face must not be less than 0.137 in. (3.48
mm) aft er milling.
PREVIOUS TYPE
Cylinder Head Gasket
An improved cylinder head gasket with wider beading
on the underside of the gasket is used on the new models.
This gasket may be used on previous Ford 4000 diesel
engines. See Figure 1.
Camshaft
A new camshaft with higher cam lift and wider timing
is used with the new model diesel en'gine.
,
Connecling Rod
Heavier I·section connecting rods are used on all new
model Ford 4000 and 5000 engines. Whi1.e these may be
installed when servicing a previous type engine, they
must not be mixed with the previous type connecting rods .

-----------------------NEWMODELSUPPLEMENT------______________ __
FonD 4000 GAS ENGINE
Increased power has been obtained by increasing the
stroke from 4.2 in. (106.68 mm) to. 4.4 in. (111.76 mm).
Cylinder lie ad and Gasket
A new cylinder head has been introduced which differs
from that used on previous Ford 4000 gas engines in that
the valve seats are located 0.020 in. (0.52 mm) deeper .
There is no change to the cylinder head gasket .
Crankshaft
The crankshaft used in the new model Ford 4000 gas
engine is common with the Fo;d 4000 diesel crankshaft
and provides a stroke of 4.4 in. (111.76 mm).
Pistons
New pistons are used which have a piston pin~to-piston
crown height of 2.523/ 2.525 in. (64.08/ 64.14 mm) . Pr ...
vious Ford 4000 gas pistons had 8 piston pin to crown
height of 2.741/ 2.743 in. (69.62/ 69.67 mm). See Figure 2.
Connecting Rods
New model Ford 4000 gas engines have the same heavier
[-section connecting rods as are used on the new model
Ford 4000 diesel and 5000 gas and diesel engines.
FORD 5000 DIESEL ENGINE
locreased power for the new model Ford 5000 diesel
engine has been achieved by incre as ing th e cylinder bore
diameter, introducing a new cylinder he ad with modified
porting. a new camshaft and pistons , and a new injection
pump and injectors.
Cylluder Block
The new model Ford 5000 cylinder block has piston
bores which are 4.4 in . (111.76 mm) diameter, whereas the
previous Ford 5000 bores were 4. 2in. (106.88mm) diameter.
PistoDS
While the pistons have been increased to the same
diameter as those of the Ford 4000, they are not identical
with the Ford 4000 pistons in that the Ford 5000 piston
pin-to-piston crown height is greater. See Figure 2.
