The register lists here 2 versions with 35.6 to 46.1 kW from four-cylinder engines of 2,190 to 2,819 cm³ displacement and 164 to 225 Nm of torque, with unladen weights from 1,542 to 1,581 kg, lengths from 3,069 to 3,353 mm, widths from 1,623 to 1,821 mm and heights from 1,446 to 1,653 mm.

With the choice between petrol, LPG and diesel engines, this range was aimed at farms for which different fuel types were available in the same chassis depending on local fuel supply and running costs, an offering typical of Ford tractors of the time.

When buying used, check the fuel type of the given engine and its condition, rust on body panels and mudguards, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and the tightness of the hydraulics. The function of the PTO and belt pulley is also worth checking closely when buying used. Spares for this Ford range come through dealers specialising in classic tractors.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
