[AT] Ford 861

[louis at kellnet.com]

The real early 4000's have sheet metal very similar, if not the same as the 
801 series.

I have learned as a parts dealer for several aftermarket companies.  When 
you have to look up parts for 600/800 or 601/801 series tractors, that is 
how you have to look stuff up using the generic model.  The first number 
designates the engine used.  The middle number designates how the tractor is 
equipped with trans, PTO, etc...  I have a chart the lists from the NAA to 
the 1881.  It shows the type of engine, transmission, PTO, clutch, 
proofmeter, power steering and year.  It show how a tractor is equipped.  IF 
anyone would like a copy of the chart, just email me at sales at srstractor.com

I don't know of any right now.  I realize you are in a more rural area than 
I am in but here in NC Craigslist is about the only way to find equipment 
anymore.  One trick I learned is read all "801" advertisements.  Most folks 
don't realize the model designations differed and advertise their 
841/861/871 tractors as 801.

Mine was advertised correctly but I looked at at least two 841s listed as 
801s.  I also saw an 801 painted blue advertised as a 4000 (-:

Not sure if I told you anything you did not already know but I hope this 
helps,

Spencer
