The Ford 900, 901, 1801, 2000, and 4000 tractors represent multiple generations of Ford’s durable utility and row-crop machines, built for versatility, power, and reliability. Produced between the mid-1950s and 1970s, these models evolved from the early “Hundred Series” into the later three-cylinder utility tractors. Engineered with robust gasoline, diesel, and LP options ranging from 40 hp in the 900/901 series to over 62 hp in the 4000, these tractors served farmers, municipalities, and utility operators worldwide.
The Ford 900 and 901 tractors, powered by the 172 cu in “Red Tiger” OHV 4-cylinder gasoline engine, delivered approximately 40–45 hp with rear lift capacities of around 1,250 lbs, making them reliable row-crop tractors with standard 3-point hitch and PTO options. The 1801 offered industrial-strength design for loader and heavy-duty applications. The Ford 2000, produced in the 1960s and early 1970s, introduced the three-cylinder diesel and gas engines, offering around 26–28 hp PTO power, improved hydraulics, and a 2,360 lb rear lift capacity. The Ford 4000, one of the most popular models of its era, produced over 62 hp with a stronger frame, 3,200 lb lift capacity, and more advanced transmission and hydraulic options for heavier field and utility work.
The comprehensive repair manual provides complete service coverage for all models in this group. Key sections include power plant servicing, clutch and transmission repair, rear axle and power take-off systems. Detailed step-by-step repair procedures, troubleshooting guides, lubrication charts, exploded component diagrams, and torque specifications are included, making it a vital resource for accurate maintenance and restoration. This manual ensures technicians and owners can keep these classic Ford tractors operating to factory standards.
