ford 801

This 801 lift does not work at all... Have substituted a working pump, rebuilt the cover, adjusted linkage- absolutely nothing. Fluid comes out of the pump plug when running.If the pump is removed and air is put into the discharge port with a rubber tipped blower the lift arms will lift. I am...

I've got her running right - idling at 475 and no longer bogging down above 1800. Turns out all she needed was a clean fuel line and new gaskets. While I had the carb apart I replaced anything worn or broken, most notably the throttle shaft. The connection between the bronze shaft and the...

Does anyone on here know where I can find wheel weights for the front of my Ford 801? I am having a hard time trying to find them. Also, would filling the front tires with fluid really add any decent weight if I went that route? Any suggestions or ideas?

Hi all, new to forum. Have a question about a Ford 800 series tractor. Recently I have converted over to alternator and electronic ignition (coil was replaced as well). However now when the tractor comes under load, it struggles/dies out. Is this a fuel issue or something electrical?

OK guys, let's kick the tires on this 801 SOS. I have been warned about these trannies, but the tractor looks so "straight", I can't help but being interested. It was owned by the girls grandfather and as far as I know, he used it for brush hogging. Current standing sales offer .. $2500 What do...

Hello, I finally joined after lurking for years lol....I am working on my 801. Months ago I took it apart for a complete overhaul and now I'm finally getting it back together but I think i'm missing a piece for the check valve. Does anyone have an actual picture of valve components? I'm hoping...

We rebuilt the Hydraulic pump and installed it back on tractor. The lift doesn't work and there is no oil coming out of the drain on top of pump if removed. Do I have air in the system and if so how do I bleed it out and if not what else could be wrong? This is a Ford 801 Powermaster with 4...

I just recently bought a 1959 Ford 801 Powermaster, 821 model, tractor. It runs good but needs some TLC. It will idle at higher RPM's with no problem, but when you slow down the idle speed it will stall out. It will start again with a little difficulty but not at a lower idle speed. Could this...

My Pastor has an old 801 Ford industrial, he thinks around a 64 or 65 ish gasser with a loader on it. He says the shift fork come undone in the transmission so it doesn't shift. Guess the cover of the transmission has been off by a neighbor. It is on the back side of a hill and about 18 miles...

I'm thinking of buying a frozen-engine 801 as a parts tractor for my 860. Other than the later year, what does the 801 have or not have? Does the 0 indicate no PTO? Owner said it was a 5 speed, wasn't sure about hydraulics etc. Thanks.

Just bought a 801 with a backhoe and front loader. I want to plow, and use the pto for my brush hog. Is it difficult to remove the backhoe and what is the procedure if it is doable?

I was looking at a Ford 801 with a select-o-speed transmission and wondered if it worked like a syncro shuttle transmission. The videos I have seen on YouTube show the speed changes, but I wondered if reverse could be included in the selections. If so, that might make for a nice transmission...

Hello, I am very new to this so bear with me if I have no idea what I am talking about. I am going to be closing soon on a 4.5 acre home that is currently about half mowed and half brush. The house is also at the end of a long private ROW (1/4 mi) and the three homes on the end take turns...

Does anyone know how many 801 diesels were made? Saw a nice 841 diesel and just wondering if it's anything more desirable than the other models. I've always liked the 801's and thought someday I may find one to take home. Thanks in advance for the help!

Any one have any info or diagrams on the injector pump on this thing? It's leaking fuel into the oil and I dont know which seals to change out to stop it. I also need to re-wire the old girl and if anyone has any wiring diagrams that would help too.Thanks in advance.

I Know I should buy the manual, but enjoy reading others repair questions here, usually more comprehensive and concise. Have the replace the $3 shifter pin on a Ford 801. Do I have to remove the cover plate? If not, which direction should I drive the old pin out? It is of course broken/worn...

My father-in-law is trying to deal with his brothers estate. Sitting in the field is a Ford 801 and 2000. What would these be worth running vs not running? I am not sure how long they have been sitting there but the seats are rusty otherwise they look like used tractors but not abused. Any...

I have a 1963 Ford 801 Powermaster. It likes to stall when it gets hot. I am thinking vapor lock but am not sure. If it is I am trying to figure out a way to fix it. The gas line does run directly next to the engine. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I've never posted in the vintage tractor forum before. But, here I am. My friend has a Ford 801 tractor with the original six volt electrical system. Recently, he jump started the tractor with his truck (12 volt system). He said the starter spun extra fast but all else seemed fine...
