I have only owned a Ford 2N, and am looking at purchasing a Ford 800 series tractor that came available in my area. It is a Ford 801 Powermaster. The serial number and model is stamped as "841" and the serial number is: 126774
The tractor has been converted to 12 volt, and it does start and runs well, lift is working, pto is working. But I don't know a lot about this tractor. The tach is not working, and I can't tell if the temp or oil pressure gauge is accurate. Doesn't appear to be leaking anything. Seller wants around $3200. Appearance is OK, but certainly not restored. 2 new tires (rear left and front right). The other 2 tires appear OK but old.
One concern I have is that the alternator and belt does not appear to be aligned correctly with the water pump and bottom pulley. The belt doesn't come off, but is not aligned and I'm concerned if that is a major problem. Any other suggestions or areas of concern with this model would be appreciated. This forum has always been very helpful with my 2N, so looking for some pointers and advice here. Thank you.
