My Brother-in-law just purchased a ford 2000 diesel with Super Deluxe chrome decal on the front. I have tried to research this tractor and can not find anything on it. I found the Ford 2000 with 3 cylinder diesel but nothing about the super deluxe. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find more about this tractor?
 
Early Ford 2000s were badged as Dextas. the 3000 preforce was known as a Super Dexta. Is the decal clear and easy to read?

It is clearly made for the front grill. It is chrome and made into the grill. States "Super Deluxe"
 
They were English made diesels.I think ford bought the company and badged a few as fords.The same company made the old major diesels.
 
Dexta and Super Dexta were Fordson's (Ford & Son) smaller tractor compared to the larger Major and Super Major. In the early 60's Ford decided to merge their UK (Fordson) and US (Ford) tractor lines into one platform they then re-designated them as 2000 and 4000 models. To help gain acceptance of the new model scheme they used both the previous Fordson model names and the thousand series nomenclature concurrently from about 1962.
So.............
There's no telling what you have based on the description. The tractors that were built as 1965 models and later are completely different than the Dexta's that were built up until that date. Probably the quickest and easiest way to tell is by looking at the hood. A Dexta will have a hood that opens on the left with the exhaust on the right. A post 65 2000 will have a right opening hood with the exhaust coming up through the left hood panel. Later tractors also have the hydraulic pump mounted on the left rear of the engine to provide live hydraulics as opposed to the Dexta's internal mounted pump in the rear axle...
Clear as mud?

It has been a week since I saw the tractor but the exhaust comes up through the hood on the left side if sitting in the seat.
