Hello, Can any one help identafy this tractor?
Its suppost to be a Ford 5000 but I can't seem to match any of the serial numbers. The tractor is 4wd,but on the front axel there is a tag that says 4wheel drive conversion The Roadless Traction Liminted Co. Something England There is a extra gearbox inbetween the transmision and the rear end that runs the 4wd drive shaft.This gearbox is cast and matches the tractor perfictly. The transmision has 90w gear lub in it and the rear end has Hydralic oil. Also the engine has a tubo on it. the back tires are 15.5x38 and the front wheels are 12x24. I don't know if the engine is a 233cu. or a 256cu.
The number on the right side of the engine is C7NN6015 But the two N's look like some sort of symble because the leg of the N on the right side is not there ( Its shorter than normal.On the front of the bell housing on the right side the number is OB12 and B880869 on the left side of the bell houseing OA088 and AG7020. On the right side of the transmision the numbers are C7NN7006R and 9L27.
I have a shop manual but it does't have seem to have these numbers in it.
Any help would be greatly apreciated
Thank you
Todd

Tractor will be a Roadless 65 from Roadless Traction Ltd, Hounslow, Middlesex.

Its a conversion based on the standard 5000 with a GMC axle and a Roadless made drop box. Roadless made a number of conversions based on Ford units from way back to the 1920's including crawlers and, in the 1970's, equal wheeled 4wd, the Roadless 115 and 120.

The turbo would be an add on unit that was imported here by Opico. I think they were M&W turbo's. We fitted quite a few at a time when farmers were demanding more power and high HP tractors were rare over here. Keep the oil changed frequently and the engine would take the extra power with few problems.

My knowledge of these things is only related to what I've read, but it looks to me like you have a Roadless tractor. Roadless used the Ford 5000 platform for their own FWA conversion. Based on the numbers you provided, I think 0B12 is the Ford unit code, and there *should* be another letter after that 12; either an A, B, or C according to the shift on which it was assembled. The build date should be (based on this) 12th of February, 1970. Being a 1970, the 5000 *should* have had the 256 cid engine. The 256 was introduced mid '68. The turbo? Mabey Roadless added the turbo. Mabey the owner did. I'm not up on Roadless. If you do go into the engine for a major overhaul, it would be a good idea to update to the turbo components for the later 256's from the 7000.. HTH.

No turbocharger. However it was popular back in the early '70s to put a turbo & manafold off of a 7000 on a 5000.

5000"s are naturally aspirated.
