See:

9c = A date code with missing letters, the code is probably for the transmission production date.
31023C
310 = 3100 (Agricultural All Purpose), before April 1, 1968
2 = Gasoline (Petrol) engine
3 = Live PTO
C = 8-speed transmission, (4 forward + 1 reverse) times high and low.
C103655D195
Looking at:
http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/2/5/259-ford-3000.html
gives the possibility of a 1965 tractor, if so:
C103655 = Serial number for a tractor assembled at the Highland Park plant, Michigan, USA, during 1965.
D195 = Date code with year number last (to avoid being mixed up with the serial), if so:
The tractor was assembled April 19, 1965
Search for more numbers, check the Oaktree site for locations.
1965 was the first year for model 3000, so a date code starts with 5.
Do you have a picture of the tractor?
