I am new to the tractor world and this forum. Just purchased a Ford 4000 Diesel 3 cyl.(1970) and it is working great. I want to add a front end loader to it and possibly a backhoe. Where can I find information about what types of loaders/backhoes will fit on the Ford 4000? Are tractor attachments specific to a make/model or do most attachments fit most models of tractors? Is there a good place to find manuals that are basically idiot proof? (i.e. tell every detail in a repair step) I am very new to this world. (grew up in city and have never been around tractors or other hvy equipment) Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, I have an old Ford HD 4000 (1965) Diesel with the 4 cylinder engine. I use my tractor almost daily and have for the past 34 years. I think my kids will probably use it to bury me. There are ford loaders specific for the models. Mine takes a model 712 but your local Ford tractor dealer should have the information.

A 772 ford FE loader fit my 73 4000 3 cylinder gas tractor.
Hope this may be of some help.
