I just bought a 1958 Ford 861 Powermaster. It has power steering and has been converted to a 12 volt system and also electronic ignition
replacing the points. The previous owner is a experienced mechanic and he owned the tractor for the last 28 years. I won?t pick it up until next
weekend probably. The previous owner says there?s no issues at all with the tractor and it currently has a snow blade attached to the
hydraulics. I bought this only to push my 100ft driveway and was thinking my grandson and I could fix it up and maybe restore it. Once I get it
home what would be the first things I should do? Complete fluid change maybe? I?m thinking I need a owners, service and parts manuals too.
Not sure of a good place to get those. I?ll plow my driveway this winter I think then maybe start to restore it. Thanks for any insight on learning
more about this tractor!
