The rocker or lift arms that come out of the lift cover are heavier and thicker than those on an 801. The 4000 I am looking at is a 1964 and is not an industrial model. I looked on a row crop 4000 and they are just as thick. Are these lift covers interchangeable if I were to upgrade my 861? Aside from the tin, are there any other differences? I looked in the archives and could not find any other specific differences other than tin and paint. I know it is not that important, but I enjoy finding specifics. Thanks. Jason [Reply]   [No Email]

The large bolt rear axle housings came out in late 1960 . From the mid year 1961 801 tractors until the 4000's ended in Dec. 1965 they are all the same and best ones to own , all of the updates to the tractors were done by then .

No difference.   [Reply]  [No Email]
