Replace 801 front crank seal
Looks like I need to replace the front crank/timing cover seal on my gas 1959, 871, no loader. Is it feasible to try this without removing the engine or front of the tractor (hood & radiator)? -

SOS starter solenoid
I have done some research through old threads that I copied in 2010 when I bought the tractor and had lots of questions about this strange, new possession. I now have a possible scenario for the pressure switch wiring. I am aware that the early SOS had a good warrantee and that replaced... -

SOS starter solenoid
Thanks, that may explain it, but my tractor is a gold demonstrator (Serial 68901) and does have the location for the charge and pressure lights on the dash. Not particular worried about it because the trans seems to work fine. Just would like to connect the light if I can find out where the wire... -

12v battery for 801
Thanks. I have been temporarily using a 24, but it is a little long for the battery tray (works great in my JD 314 garden tractor though). -

SOS starter solenoid
Thanks for your comments. I now have the tractor running (I replaced the neutral safety switch wire). I could use more information on the lube pressure warning light wire that comes from the rear axle. I cannot find any evidence of a wire or location where a wire might have come out of the rear... -

1959 871 Junction Block location
Does anyone have a good photo or illustration of where the Junction Block goes? My tractor was in a fire and the wiring and associated items were destroyed. I can't find a good photo of the correct location in the Ford manual. Thanks. -

PTO output shaft sleeve
I bought a new seal for my 871 PTO output shaft. Upon disassembly I discovered that the sleeve that the seal rides on was missing. Any help locating a source for the sleeve will be appreciated. I have installed a PTO shaft cap which has allowed me to operate the tractor without losing rear end... -

801 PTO outlet seal replacement help
Looking at the cutaway on page 274 of the Ford shop manual it is hard to tell, but it looks like there is a sleeve that the PTO shaft runs through as it transverses the hydraulic section. Is that correct? So the seal between the hydraulic section and the differencial is around the sleeve, and... -

801 PTO outlet seal replacement help
Looks like I posted this in the general forum earlier, so I am trying again in the Ford forum. I have a 1959 SOS with a single speed PTO (871) that was in a fire about 2008, and has been sitting since then. I have just completed getting it back to running condition. Is it possible to replace the... -

871 PTO output seal replacement
I posted this question a couple of days ago and it looks like someone stepped on it with a different topic. So I am posting it again in hopes of a response. I have a 1959 SOS with a single speed PTO (871) that was in a fire about 2008, and has been sitting since then. I have just completed...- WGregB

Select O Speed transmission light
I'm no expert on the SOS tractor, but I have one. The wire coming out of the transmission cover is for the park safety switch. You should start the tractor in Park gear. When in Park, the safety switch provides a ground to the starter solenoid when you press the start button. My understanding... -
