I have just traded my 800 Industrial in on a new tractor. I kept the front end loader, the manure bucket, regular bucket and some wheel weights because they didn t want them. All hoses need to be replaced. Is there a market for these items

I have, what I believe to be, an 800 series diesel. No apparent serial numbers. I am putting a new fuel pump on and retiming it. Difficult and dirty work. My concern is ordering parts without a definite identification. Are all 800 series the same for items like valve cover gaskets or do folks fashion their own

Wesley Briant wrote on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 (PDT):

I have a 50s ford 800 tractor. I want to buy a field mower attachment. They come in 4ft,5, or 6ft widths. What size could my tractor pull? I guess it is a 45hp gas.

mr bob from SE ohio wrote on Friday, July 28, 2006 (PDT):

In my opinion, as a longtime "Ford Man", this is my favorite of them all. For their size they must be one of the most powerful tractors ever built. This is a machine that you should be very proud and fond of.

what's a ford 800 with a front end loader worth? it's extremely dirty (been sitting outside for a few years). it seems to have many new parts (fuel pump, etc). and by the way, i cannot find a keyhole. how do you start the darn thing? i'd appreciate any comments, opinions, and feedback. also, is this stock with a 6 volt system?. i tried to jump start it with my truck, and charge it with my 12 volt charger. i learned in a nanosecond, that won't work. please advise. thankyou.

Does anyone know where I can buy a hyd. pump or parts to repair a vane style pump reasonably?

Tim Dowd wrote on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 (PDT):

Where can I find the S/N on my Ford 800 (I think) tractor? I just bought this machine and it came with both the loader and backhoe attachments, but the control levers leak badly. Where can I get seal kits to fix them? The backhoe boom also does not stay stationary after I move it side to side, it will swing in what ever direction the tractor happens to be leaning. What can I do to fix this? Another question is on re-chroming some of the actuators. Are there any special considerations? Is it cheaper to just replace them? What are these old machines worth restored?
