Looks like your tractor was made in 5/55 via the number on the engine. This would make it a fordson major. There are some sites that sell the repair / parts manuals. If you check ebay you generally can get them for the best price. I would stick with the ford re-prints of the manuals.

Here are a few web sites that can give you more info on your tractor

If you are looking for parts give bare-co or sparex a whirl, also google is your friend.

Thanks,

Scott

Serial number and casting code give May 1955. Casting code gives May 11th.

There is filter screen on the petcock that comes out of the tank. When I pulled my petcock out a few months ago mine was plugged up pretty bad so that might be the reason you are not getting fuel.
