Here are some pictures of the Ford 2000 I am buying, I tested it today and all seemed to work ok, we ran it for 1/2 hour cleaning up the sellers yard and leaks, noises or big things came up. Seemed to be running a bit rich but all else was ok.
take a look

It is costing more than the Leroi but it has some extra things (the big hoe on the back)
Good move. The backhoe is a BIG extra. Still looking for one for my Bobcat. I still haven't emptied my truck from the last auction. Got a nice Rockwell drill press with an unusual "straight across" Commander head, a small two spindle horizontal boring machine, and about six tons of oak and maple table parts, various pieces of wood, etc..
That's a nice little tractor too. Funny knuckle on the hoe, never seen one built like that.
Am I remembering correctly that this was an English Ford? I swear they were.. Regardless, they're good stuff. My grandparents had a 4000, seems it had a 3 cyl. Perkins diesel and Lucas electrical.
I've had this exact tractor for twenty years. In that time,I've had everything but the transmission apart. Let me know if you every contemplate a repair. I also have the 3000, almost identical tractor.
If you have the holley carb, that's one of the tractor's weak points. After two rebuilds, I gave up and bought a new carburetor, it was like putting a new engine in.
No doors. You can buy doors, though, if you want to make the back boxes yourself. I plan on using some of the plywood to build kitchen cabinets, the oak to trim out windows, probably sell the table slides, maybe sell the legs as a kit to woodworkers on ebay. My kids see it all as materials for a clubhouse. I see it as several doses of Advil............. Nice stuff, though, furniture grade wood. The big, long lots of hardwood went for more than I wanted to pay, although they would have been a bargain. I turned down three machines for free, an overarm router, a 24 spindle borer, and a horizontal wood shaper. I just couldn't fit all the stuff that was available in my 18' box-in two trips.
