Ford 800 Differential lock

[Gary Alford]

I know these tractors didn't have that option but was wondering if a 2000 model rear axle might have a diff lock and bolt on to a 800 5spd trans with out a big hassle. I have loaded rear tires with chains on them and a western truck plow mounted to the front and I have a problem with rear wheel spin trying to push a heavy pile of snow back. I also have a little issue in the spring plowing my field with one rear wheel looseing traction tires have good tread.

No.

Use the turning brakes.

I doubt it.
I don't think there is much between the two models that will interchange though I've never actually compared parts like rear castings or trumpets side by side.
You would have to compare the distance between the drive and pto output shafts and jerry rig something for the different hydraulic systems.
Also I think clutch pedals, etc are different. (Are they on the tranny on a Hundred?) They are on the rear end on a Thousand.
Diff lock is one of the reasons I prefer the 3 cyl models.

Tried using the turning brakes, but they don't work that great as it robs too much power, for plowing the field it works better than doing snow, but even then its not the greatest for the same reason.
