    871 SOS speed selector assembly

    Yes, please send me the chapter dealing with the SOS. I have the Ford manual, and it goes into the transmission in detail, but doesn't help much with the control assembly. It doesn't even tell how to disconnect the cable from the control assessbly. I assume you have to get the control assembly...

    871 SOS speed selector assembly

    Thanks Ultradog, I will check it out when I get some time (next month). The unit in your photo looks somewhat different than mine (longer shift lever and different housing shape) but I don't have time to compare them right now. There is another comment that the assembly changed in '65. I don't...

    871 SOS speed selector assembly

    My 1959 SOS has been sitting out for at least 12 years and the speed selector assembly is ruined. I'm looking for a used unit to replace it. In about 2005, while bush-hogging a field the tractor caught fire after refueling. Since that event it has been out in the Arizona weather. While...

    What type of valve do I need for my Wagner Loader

    I have a Jungle Gym style Wagner loader on my 2N. I'm in the process of trouble shooting the leak down on my bucket which is hydraulic controlled both up and down. If I need to replace the valve assembly what do I need to look for in a replacement unit. Not sure of open, closed, floating...

    '59 871 6v or 12v

    Thanks, that pretty much makes it a 6v. It is a gasser, and does not have air slots on the generator.

    '59 871 6v or 12v

    I am making progress on reviving my burned up tractor February '59 - got it to roll by using the rear disconnect and new bearings in the front wheels. Also got it to steer with lots of PB Blaster in the king pin grease fittings. New bearing in the generator pulley end got it turning (rear plate...

    front wheel bearings

    Some brief info I saw indicated that there was a difference between the '54 and earlier and the '55 and later. I think it was in the hub, which could account for a different bearing.

    801 front wheel bearing seal

    The 801 I have acquired was in a fire and the front wheel bearing seal is gone. Does anyone know the NAPA number or the generic seal number for this seal? Is this seal similar to auto wheel seals where it presses into the hub and seals on the spindle? It did not come off with the hub, and what...

    871 SOS dash stuff

    Great - thanks. The toggle switch is probably where the original push/pull for the head lights was located.

    871 SOS dash stuff

    My '59 871 SOS was in a fire and the wiring is all burned up. The key switch is missing from the left side of the dash - is this simply an on/off switch for the ignition? I found a push button under the right side of the dash - is this the starter button? How do you turn on the head lights...
