Default Barn Find

In 1997 I built this barn for one of my customers. It's a pole barn with creosote treated hemlock poles, 1 x 12 native pine wall and roof sheathing and an attic truss roof system. The roofing is 18" red cedar perfections and the walls are 16" white cedar extras. The slab is for heavy equipment, 2' steel reinforced concrete at the perimeter and 6" steel reinforced at the body. We used antique granite for the form work to give it that historic look. All work was hand nailed.

I built it shortly after I built this barn on the same property. This one is post and beam construction. I spent 6 weeks cutting and assembling this structure in a series of 5 vertical stations, each assembled lying flat on the first floor deck, one on top of the other. It was kinda funny as the neighbors had no idea what I was doing. And then, in one day, with the help of some friends and a crane, we raised and assembled the entire structure.

Shortly after the work was complete on the pole barn, my customer and now good friend Ed, stuffed his Ford tractor in the back. And there it sat, all this time. Lately, I've been seeing the need for a dedicated mowing tractor so I decided to drop in on Ed and check out his old Ford.

On initial approach, it looks like we have Cat 1??? rear lift, rear PTO and dual hydraulic ports. That's a good start!

Well, this says a lot. Ford 4000 with non louvered tins, I would guess 1968 - '75. Three cylinder diesel. Internal wet disc brakes. Power steering pump mounted reservoir.

It does have the 3000 front end and steering and I was able to make out what looks like "D1414C" on the model tag.

So, I'm gonna say its a '68 - '75 Ford Special Utility 4000

Drained all the #&*NASTY!#* smelling fuel from the tank and changed the filter. Despite how rusty the tank is my magnet would not pick up any of the brown crud in the old filter.

I checked the Wix site to confirm that the filter #33166 was compatible with the C.A.V. injector pump...

This swing out battery tray is cool!

Unfortunately, despite clean fuel, new filter and plenty of cranking amps... no smoke and no fuel when I cracked the injector fittings.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
