Hello, I'm a new member to the Forum and have a ruff knowledge of tractors but I'm learning. Before my dad died he had a Ford 800 which I got from my mom this past year (2019) and love the thing. It came with a back blade and snowblower that I've used this winter. I live in norther N.Y. It runs like a champ but I'm wanting to slowly restore it. However first off I'm not sure what 800 it is. I've researched it and found the serial number on the flat part above and behind the starter but can't make out what the number is. I can see the diamond and then 77 after it and what looks like a 1 or 7 and a rounded number after that (not much help I know) before the diamond, but that's all. My dad know what it was and I used it a lot over the years but never thought to ask him. It has the 5 speed transmission, 3 point hitch, and PTO. Not sure if its live or not, only way to use it is to start it with the PTO engaged. The Clutch is all but shot so I'm not sure if that's why or something else.
So first questions is any help identifying it would be great
Second, in my restore I'm wanting to add an alternator. It was converted to 12 volt before my dad got it to take advantage of a 12 v battery but nothing else was done. I found a kit on Amazon and wondered it anyone here can give me some tips on this.
3rd I want to put a new clutch in this summer but don't know which clutch I need.
Thanks in advance. Stephen.
