    Ford 801 front end loader

    my plan was to get this 800 running and use it if I need a loader and keep my 801 for other uses. I use my 801 around the property and love it, I have a 5’ tiller, boom pole, 12” auger, and plow, currently working on welding up rear forks I just added rear remotes and hydraulic top link so I get...

    Ford 801 front end loader

    I decided against that loader but went to look at an 800 today with loader and backhoe, it was in rough shape and a lot of parts missing. The owner allowed me to tinker on it, got it to crank off jumper cables but no dice on running. We couldn’t agree on a price so that sucks as well. Also had...

    Sherman step down on 801?

    Looks like most your opinions are to upgrade to something newer considering the cost so I’m going to abandon that project… looks like a good idea considering what I can find for sale is pretty reasonable. I’m interested in a 4000 unless there is something else I should be looking for.. I’ll...

    Sherman step down on 801?

    So I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make this happen. Is it possible to machine a Sherman to make it work or is it so far off a new case would be necessary?? I’ve read the step downs are rare and also that they slow down pto… so maybe the Sherman isn’t the way to go anyways… also...

    Sherman step down on 801?

    Hey all, Just wondering if a Sherman step down would work on my 801 5spd?? Or anything similar. I’d like to go a little slower while I’m tilling. Thanks

    Start button help

    Not my only mind blowing moment on this wiring job. I wire loomed everything and added the push pin zip tie deals we use on automotive for nice tight clean look. Well the push pin zip ties require a 1/4 hole. So I went about my business drilling holes, drilled my first one into the battery box...

    Start button help

    I have a 58 861. I rewired it, installed a new solenoid,start button, and junction block . The push button will not work. Is there a difference between a tractor solenoid and a car solenoid. The one I bought came off the shelf of my local auto parts stop. It is a 3 pole solenoid, thats what...

    Adding Powersteering to 801

    I saw from a post long ago that someone modified a 3000 setup onto an 800 but with almost no pictures only a description. I think Im going to go this route and post a lot of pictures with minimal fab so someone not so experienced can do the job as well. Anyone with a 3000 to send photos over...
