    Ford 861 No Hydraulic Lift

    You're on the right track, pull the pump and take a look. In my case I had a section of teeth broken off the DRIVEN GEAR as shown in the picture below. I rebuilt the pump and everything's been fine ever since.

    Engine number decoding please.

    Sean, just to show where the P comes from before the switch to D below is a doc from Ford dated 12/65. Also I see a date code of 0B01 from the picture which would be Feb 01, 1970.

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Tony, Thanks for taking the time. It was a pleasure hearing from you knowing that you have first-hand knowledge from some of the Wain-Roy people. I reread the book sections relating to Wain-Roy's Ford relationship and came out more confused. I always assumed that the picture I previously...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Do you have the book "Wain-Roy and the Invention of the Backhoe"? Wain-Roy designed and manufactured the 713 for Ford. Below is an excerpt, credit to the book mentioned. It shows the first production unit in 1958. Eventually there was drama and bad blood between Wain-Roy and Ford as told in...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    First good to hear from you again. I was talking specifically the Model 840, I know the 134-based tractors often had the 4-speed transmission from the beginning of production. The original lineup for the 800s was 820, 850, and 860 as depicted in the brochure below - no 840. Also I went out and...

    Elenco 4x4 dogleg decal

    Ford didn't make the 840 before 1957 (which some people find hard to believe). I have a 1957 840 with 19-97 loader and 713 backhoe. It was made just prior to the switchover to the 8X1- Series. My serial number is 144875. I have yet to find an 800-Series tractor with a higher serial number...

    Loader model

    Here's the DUAL seal kit page from Baum Hydraulics with dimensions and seal type information. I guess you could measure plus open up a cylinder for seal ID and see what matches. If in doubt you can call Baum.

    64 4000 5 speed question

    Those 's aren't factory markings my guess is some sort of wear and tear within the tractor's more than 60 year life.

    64 4000 5 speed question

    Are you sure about those numers? The serial number should not have an apostrophe but 39281 is a valid serial number for January 1964. 4102 is the start of a valid model number, 4 means 4000-series with 172 engine and 1 means 1963 or later. 0 is not a valid third digit but 20 (third and fourth)...

    What year is this

    The B at the beginning of the serial number means made at the Ford plant in Basildon England. If you do an Google Advanced Search with a term such as "1980 Ford 550 digger" and specify region as "United Kingdom" you will find examples for sale with pictures to compare. I didn't find any...
