    ford 860 leaking control vavle on lift

    Im in the middle of this same problem. Mine was/is leaking out of the plate on the front of the piston housing. Hard to see. I stuffed my phone in the pto hole while running to find the leak. Did you replace the O ring on the floating valve in the piston housing? Do not use a standard...

    Gas cap exchange number

    I sure interested in this topic. My dealer says the program stopped years ago. (Messicks) The one part number that was just listed is for a run of the mill vented cap. Vented for air to go in but not out. I have gone through 5 caps now and none will permit the heated air to escape. When...

    860 power steering ghost at the wheel

    I had replaced all of the lines on the 860 for power steering. For what ever reason I lost the notes I made. I even posted on here asking for help figuring out which lines go where on the cylinders. I hooked my lines up and with the cylinder rods disconnected from drag links I tried it out...

    860 new dist wont work with pertronix

    I appreciate all of the comments. I sure wish I could have gotten the video to post. I even down loaded a video editor but to stupid to make it work. Any way. It is important for the centrifugal advance to work properly otherwise I could be losing substantial power at PTO rpm speeds, causing...

    860 new dist wont work apology

    I cannot figure out how to attach the video clips to the post. It says begin down loading. I have done still pics many times. When I figure it out I will post the videos so the problem is visable to all.

    860 new dist wont work with pertronix

    First of all it is not the fault of pertronix. My original dist was too worn to get full 24 degree advance. I opted to buy a brand new dist. The dist came from Atlantic Parts. I attached 2 videos showing how much play the reluctor has when installed on the new dist. Not acceptable. I also...

    860 powersteering hose location

    My first choice was changing the right. I changed/switched the left side and they are doing what they should. Today I will hook them onto the steering arms and see if I have pressure. A few little odd things to button up as well.

    860 powersteering hose location

    Well, I hooked up the hoses guessing which went where. I didn?t do real bad. When you turn the wheel left both cylinder's push out. When I turn the wheel right both pull back in. So, it looks like I only have to interchange 2. I?ve included 2 pics of the hoses. (and 1 progress pic). On...

    860 power steering which hose to which cyc port

    The last picture shows me what I need to know. On the column, the "Top, Rear" fitting goes to the "Outside Port" on the cylinder. This is the way I am going to hook things up. I like the idea of disconnecting the front of the steering cylinder and letting it float during testing. I guess I...

    860 power steering which hose to which cyc port

    Yes, the original lines from ford were steel. Mine had flexible hydraulic lines with steel ends about 6" long each end. I liked the idea so I had new "rubber sections" made and the guy saved the steel ends so I could reuse them. But they are no where even close to fitting. If could find out...

    860 power steering which hose to which cyc port

    The pic looks like mine. Mine has left and right cylinders. Steiner has 1 cylinder that they say will fit either side. Regardless, I have to figure out where to run my lines. You see I had a place make up new rubber lines from what I gave him. He must have mixed up the steel line ends...

    860 power steering which hose to which cyc port

    Ok, OK I screwed up. I wrote down the hose to cylinder port locations when I took them off. That was a year ago and I cannot find my notes. I need to know which hyd line from the steering column goes to which port on the cylinders. I know left side goes to left steering cylinder. Can any...

    860 replacement PTO shaft pics questions

    I purchased a replacement PTO shaft for my 860. The splines are nowhere even close to the original. The bottom of the profile on the new one is .025 wider than the original. I tried to stuff it in and it slid in until only about a 1/2" to go then it got tight. I think it might go with a...
