Hey what do you guys know about these? Post I found said A beautifully restored Ford 861 Diesel complete with Elenco 4WD conversion, . Hood in the pic says 801 not 861. Either way i want one of these!!! Question is were they mass produced or converted to this sometime later? Anyone know? Thanks
The 801 is the series # 861 is the model #. I have a couple of these in the 841 model. They were called elenco and were a Dealer conversion. Tony Jacobs bought the right to the company If you really want one he's the man to see. I have his # if you want it. There were about 5000 Elenco units made.
Kirk was that the only 4x4 conversion ever produced? Other sites say it can cost between $2500 and $6000 depending on condition and how complete. That's as much as the tractor

Yes,
It's diesel, an 841 (i think) with a sherman combo
There;s going to be a little tractor thing at the Blairstown Tractor supply parking lot. He will be there with it. After I get done playing in the garden I'll probably wash some of the dirt off the row crop and drag it up there. Another friend from hackettstown with be there with one of his fords or maybe the cub he just done up. Don't know how many tractors will at that show because that groups from the sussex tractor club. I believe it's on the 21st. if you want to speak to him before hand let me know and I'll give you his number.
I seen more at one time last year at a show in Yadkinville, NC than I've ever seen in person.
These two tractors are part of one man's collection. All he collects, buys, sells and fixes up are 4WD Fords, and they are impressive!!!
This 4wd 8n Ford belongs to a "friend of a friend" in North Carolina, built entirely from scratch using components from an early model Ford Bronco. It's very well done
and even has power steering
Now if you'd just take the Funk V8 conversion and stuff it in one with the Elenco 4WD conversion that would be the deal!!!
Yes these are sweet looking. wonder how they handle. This has me thinking if I can convert my 3400 to 4x4??? With the hoe the sub frame may cause some issues but looking at these guys it might be possible. Don't know if the side mount transfer case would be workable. Hmmmmmmm. Kirk I would love to see the 841 your friend has. Maybe at the show. Chris
My three point had been working, but not perfectly. Had some bobbing but not real bad. My tactor has a front loader also and is working well. Slow but am told this vintage is slower. Just changed all the three reservoirs with the recommended hydraulic/transmission oils from Tractor...
Folks,
I am considering buying a JD 272 Finish mower. It is a 3 point hitch. My Jubilee has a adaptor on the small original PTO that will not allow the PTO drive shaft from the mower deck to be attached. I am considering changing out the Jubilee PTO small shaft with a new std size 1-3/8...
Hey all,
I recently purchased a well-maintained 1956 Ford 860 for my farm.
I have worked on motorcycles and old cars, but tractors are a new machine to me. I had a few questions for you guys, sorry if these are stupidly basic:
Does this thing take a specific octane gasoline, or is regular...
Hello all, I am trying to help my father identify the tractor that was on our farm when he was a kid.
We have only one half-second shot of it on video in the early 50's. See the photo below. We know that it was gray, and we believe it was a Ford. Any help you could provide would be greatly...
