But maybe there's some way to do it without all that. Please post a picture of your tractor, or the numbers off of the flat spot on the transmission bell housing just aft of the starter, so we know what you've actually got. All you've said is it's a "3 cylinder 4000 Industrial backhoe", which could mean that it's a 4500, the true "Industrial" model of the 4000 series, or a 4400, which was actually called a "Utility" tractor by Ford, but lots of folks refer to them as Industrial, or it could be a plain old ag chassis 4000 that someone stuck a subframe type backhoe onto and then whoever sold it to you called it an "Industrial".
