Bet the tank on a tm is a little bigger than on the DB996 tho

Bet the front wheels are as wide as the back ones on the 996

Same had air cooled engines, the others conventional water cooled. I think, in general anyway.

Our first 4wd was a same Saturno driving position was horrible but it would climb a mountain, engine was a bit gutless compared to our db 1212

Loads said it wouldn’t do / would kill it.

Done 24 bales so far the week they’ve been in. Revelation.

Wish we’d done it years ago.

Great group of Fords! Spent hours and hours on similar fieco cab 4000’s. Loved them. Did everything on the farm. Had a 1971 fieco cab 3000 with the same steel grill as your 4000 so I guess yours is early too.

2 7000s..... that’s just greedy!!!

That is a lovely sight .
Is the sticker on the bonnet side of the 2 7000s a different colour ?
I notice you still have dynamos on them all . Lots went to alternator , and therefore have no rev counter/hour clock.
I just about remember an uncle having a Ford 3000 Fieco cab , but it didn't have a white roof like those . It had a flat steel roof , that hinged across the middle , with the front part folding back onto the back half . 2 twist locks at the front to hold it down . Sunroof jobby.
Was that roof only on 2 and 3000 ? Or , a particular year ? I think his was either 1972 or 73 . He replaced it in March 1976 with a Fieco cabbed 4100.
My father bought this Fieco cabbed 5600 new on the 26th of February 1976. I have the right hand door, but needs top glass replaced.

Hi JF850. Our 1971 3000 had the same hinged roof. That roof was on the 2000 and 3000 from 1970 J reg to Half way through 1971 K reg. After that they had the white roof like the 4000 and 5000.

We have made new grouser bars for extra grip and should be able to get ploughing with this despite the wet weather.
