Ford 860 or 850

Is this a 860 or 850 ford .I was thinking 860 clutch looks like it's straight up.

There's a flat spot above and behind the starter on which the model number will be stamped. On the X60 models, the clevis on the clutch pedal rod has two holes. From the position of the clutch pedal one might guess it's a 860, but the numbers will tell you for certain.

The pedal looks way high even for a 860 - why it's adjusted to that position is another mystery. There's really only one way to tell for certain what it is and that is to ascertain the model number stamped in the housing.

An 800 series with a 4 speed would be an 840. The 860 is a 5 speed.

A 850 will also have 5 speed but can not made into a live PTO.

I tried to take a similar photo of my 860. I don't know if there's enuf info showing to tell 860 or 850 from this angle.

Isn't that why they stand up so high on the 860 is because of the 2 stage chutch live power?

The pedal is in the high position which indicates that it is most likely live PTO.

Yes, it is.
